RUSH: Mike in Chicago, you\u2019re next on the EIB Network. Hello sir.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Maha Rushie, it is an honor.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Thank you, sir, very much. I appreciate that.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Speaking of manure and Madonna, I wanted to refresh your memory. I don\u2019t know how many years ago it was, but the Dave Matthews Band\u2019s tour driver dumped their chemical toilet in the Chicago River and was caught doing it.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Oh, yeah, I remember that! They dumped — on the tour bus, right?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Exactly right. I think it came down on top of some tourists, like in one of those boats.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I remember that story. That\u2019s exactly right. Dave Matthews Band dumped a toilet on the tour bus, all the refuse from the toilet, and it hit some tourists. They were spotted. Speaking of, where\u2019s Chrissie Hynde? I know she lives in London, but where\u2019s Chrissie Hynde and The Pretenders? I mean an activist joins these causes, joins left-wing causes, a big animal person, too. That may be why she\u2019s not there, because they might be serving meat at Wembley stadium. <\/p>\n

Mike in Riverside, California, thank you for waiting. You\u2019re next on the EIB Network. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Rush dittos from the Left Coast. My question is I\u2019m wondering if we can expect a visit from Reverend Sharpton out in California advocating no preferential treatment and jail time for Algore\u2019s son like he did for Paris Hilton.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I don\u2019t think Algore\u2019s son got preferential treatment. He was booked. He was charged with what he was charged with; he had to make bail of $25,000. I think his sister came in, and he\u2019s got a court date coming up so it\u2019s a little premature. There would be no reason for the Reverend Sharpton to show up. It\u2019s really a sad thing. I hope that they\u2019re finally able to get Algore III some focused and serious treatment, because this can be beaten. It can be done. But one of the things that I think — and I probably even shouldn\u2019t opine this — one of the things that\u2019s a problem here is that public figures think they put obstacles in their way. They think it\u2019s much tougher to deal with things like this because they\u2019re public figures. It doesn\u2019t matter. It has to be dealt with and there are ways to do it. When it\u2019s kids, I tend to put myself in the shoes of the parents on something like this, and having been through this myself, you know, I can\u2019t laugh at it, and there really isn\u2019t anything funny about it, and you just hope that they\u2019re able to brush away whatever the obstacles to getting serious treatment started. <\/p>\n

I\u2019ll just tell you this, folks, and I haven\u2019t spoken much about this for a host of reasons. I plan to someday, but I haven\u2019t been able to do so yet. But I think I have mentioned that the five weeks I spent — I saw the other day somebody reported I went to Sierra Tucson, for rehabilitation. That\u2019s not where I went. I went to a place called The Meadows, and it was for a host of reasons that I don\u2019t have time to delve into now, it was the most valuable five weeks of my life in terms of understanding various aspects of why I was choosing things I was choosing and doing things I was doing and it was miraculous. I was saying to myself the whole time I was there, ‘I wish this would have happened to me when I was 15, 18, 20.\u2019 This is valuable for people who don\u2019t have addiction problems, I think. So Algore III is, based on my experience, a prime candidate to have this help him immensely, and for the rest of his life and it\u2019s all a positive if you take it seriously, go in there and roll up your sleeves and get into it. It\u2019s not hard physically. It\u2019s just that you have to get out of denial and you have to be willing to be honest with yourself about who you are and why you\u2019re where you are and how you want to change it. But, boy, if he can pull that off and do it, it would be one of the greatest things that could ever happen to him. So I hope Sharpton does stay out of it, and I hope a lot of people don\u2019t start making fun of the kid here, the young man, because put yourself in the shoes of the parents here. The kid is not a political figure; he\u2019s not a public figure; he\u2019s trying to live a life of anonymity, in fact.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: There is one thing about the Algore III story that puzzles me. All of these people pushing these hybrids, what have they not been telling us? How in the world do you get a Toyota Prius to go a hundred miles an hour without a cliff to go over? This is the first time I have ever heard one of these hybrids will do a hundred miles an hour. And if it will, what\u2019s the point? How much fuel are you burning at a hundred miles? How much damage are you creating to the environment when you\u2019re driving one of these things a hundred miles an hour? I thought one of the points of having these things was you couldn\u2019t go out there and burn up a lot of gasoline and get lousy miles per gallon statistics and so forth and so on. His sister picked him up in a Maserati. A V8 400-horsepower Maserati took Algore III home.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
