I don\u2019t know why, because I don\u2019t care enough to dig into why. All I know is that McCain req&#8230; (interruption) What? (interruption) I\u2019m just&#8230; (interruption) He requested a&#8230; He wanted to get to three million followers on Twitter or Facebook. I don\u2019t know why. Is that a crime, not knowing why? They\u2019re telling me, &#8220;Be careful what you say.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t know why he wants three million followers. It\u2019s not the point. The point is when he requested it, many of the people following him dropped. They stopped following him. He apparently made a plea that he wanted to get to three million (I don\u2019t know whether it\u2019s Twitter or Facebook followers), and what happened was the followers he did have unfollowed him. (interruption) Have I created a headline here with this? (interruption) All right. (interruption) You didn\u2019t know about that? (interruption) You didn\u2019t know about that. See, I passed on information.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: McCain sent on you a tweet: &#8220;We\u2019re only 74 Twitter followers away from three million. Spread the word and help us reach this big milestone,&#8221; and now they\u2019re unfollowing him. But has anybody&#8230;? (interruption) He has 2.98 million followers? How? It\u2019s as far as I\u2019ll go. (interruption) They\u2019re worried about me creating headlines in there. Does that not concern you? Not &#8220;concern.&#8221; Never mind. (interruption) I know it\u2019s legitimate.<\/p>\n<p>I know it\u2019s legitimate; that\u2019s the point! How in the hell&#8230;? (interruption) &#8220;Stop it, Rush. Stop it.&#8221; (interruption) I know, I know, but I\u2019m not on Twitter, and I am not soliciting followers. But McCain is a senator. (sigh) Never mind. You know what? Just never mind. There\u2019s no way in this highly charged atmosphere. Hey hi, babe, what\u2019s happening in there? Don\u2019t worry. Don\u2019t worry. Not going to jail&#8230; today.
