RUSH: So two weekends ago, about eight or nine days ago, as you know I\u2019ve been on this diet since February 14th and I\u2019ve lost — well, up \u2019til ten days ago I was down 40 pounds, and I went off the diet because I had this weekend bash, had a bunch of house guests and a big party on Saturday. I didn\u2019t go off it too bad, but I went off of it, went got right back on it on Monday when everybody left, and from Monday — so as of a week ago today, I have lost eight pounds, for a total of 48 pounds. So I came in here today and I\u2019m telling everybody about this, and the last time they saw me was on Friday, so Brian and Dawn sit in there during the news break, and said, ‘Oh, so you think you lost more weight since Friday, huh?\u2019 <\/p>\n

I looked at them, and I said, ‘I know I have. I\u2019ve lost it from the omentum,\u2019 and they just rolled their eyes and shook their heads.<\/p>\n

I walked in to Snerdley, and Snerdley had on Fox and there\u2019s some story of a tornado somewhere, and the judge was named Rowdy Rhoades. I said, ‘It\u2019s gotta be Texas, right?\u2019 proving that I\u2019m biased against Texas, or at least prejudiced, but I\u2019m just going to tell you something, folks. I have lost eight pounds in a week, and my staff pooh-poohing it, making fun of me. A lesser person would have said, ‘What\u2019s the point?\u2019 and I would have gone in there and I would have gotten a hot dog and said, ‘To hell with it. What\u2019s the point if nobody\u2019s going to notice?\u2019 But I\u2019m not doing it for the notice of others. I\u2019m doing it for purely personal reasons. I want this to be a lesson to you. Nobody wants you to succeed when you do much of anything. I mean, what a low blow! I just read them the riot act. ‘You gotta be careful how you treat people. If I were a lesser person, you could have destroyed my confidence. You could have blown my motivation and inspiration and all to hell. You\u2019re sitting in there laughing at me because I come in here and tell you I\u2019ve lost eight pounds in a week after going off the diet and gone back on it,\u2019 and they\u2019re still laughing. Now they\u2019re in there laughing (laughing) as am I. (interruption) I don\u2019t play the ball game that way. The broadcast engineer said, ‘You can just fire \u2019em.\u2019 That\u2019s not how I run the office. It\u2019s not how I run the office. <\/p>\n

Making fun of me! Eight pounds in eight days after cheating on the diet? It was not cheating. I just went off of it, fully intending to go back to it. How do you spell jealous? Let me ask them that. You know, if I want to start telling these people what other things you people don\u2019t know in there like which president was in a wheelchair, I\u2019ll do that, if it takes getting even. They never heard of the Great Society, and that\u2019s a great lesson for me, too. They\u2019re relatively young people in there and they never heard of the Great Society, and that\u2019s when Head Start started. We were talking about that in the previous hour. The Great Society is the modern welfare state, other than Social Security, and don\u2019t give me any calls from people who want to argue with me about that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
