RUSH: Joy in Manhattan, I\u2019m glad you called. Joy, welcome to the EIB Network.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hello. Rush?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Hi.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hi. Mega dittos once again from the Upper West Side.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Thank you.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I want to tell you that I\u2019m not surprised that Columbia invited Ahmadinejad. I have Columbia\u2019s alumni magazine from the spring, and in it is an article by Gary Sick on Iran and also a blurb by Richard Bulliet, who is a professor of history and a Middle East specialist at Columbia, and Bulliet says, ‘The idea that Iran is an existential threat to Israel borders on hysteria,\u2019 and Gary Sick says essentially that Bush and the United States, are ‘demonizing\u2019 Iran and Ahmadinejad in order to change the subject from Iraq, that they\u2019re blaming Iran. Things aren\u2019t going well in Iraq, so, therefore, it\u2019s Iran\u2019s fault.<\/p>\n

RUSH: You know, when I hear that, it makes me wonder how long Bollinger has. <\/p>\n

CALLER: (Laughing.)<\/p>\n

RUSH: Because clearly what Bollinger said to Ahmadinejad is at great variance here with Gary Sick — who, by the way, has no credibility with me after that book of his on the October Surprise.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Exactly.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I\u2019ve never heard of Bulliet. <\/p>\n

CALLER: He\u2019s a history professor at Columbia.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, I\u2019m sure, but the academe is not my stomping grounds. I don\u2019t own, for example, a sport coat with leather patches on the elbow, and I don\u2019t smoke a pipe. But nevertheless —<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, would you wear a bow tie?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Who?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Bow tie.<\/p>\n

RUSH: No. No bow tie. I try and wear ‘a\u2019 tie, any kind, as infrequently as possible. But these guys are just… Iran poses no existential threat to Israel?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Right. That it borders on the hysteria, all the hoopla about…<\/p>\n

RUSH: You know, I hear all this, and I know it\u2019s a great privilege if you are a parent, to get your child into an Ivy League school, but I wonder: Do you people who have your kids going there — it\u2019s costing you what it\u2019s costing you — ever wonder about the quality of the education they are getting there? We hear about how Big Pharma, Big Drug is destroying America, and Big Retailer, as in Wal-Mart, Big Oil. How about Big Ivy? How about the Ivy League? What the hell is the Ivy League doing to this country with these cookie-cutter little liberals that they\u2019re manufacturing in there, not teaching them anything factual, or at least a worldview. I have addressed this on several previous occasions on this program and it\u2019s one of the big problems conservatives face. Liberals want to infiltrate the government at every level of bureaucracy, and they train these kids at the Ivy League to wear the striped pants, wear the right shoes, look the right way, tie their knot in their tie the right way. That\u2019s crucial. You can\u2019t tie a Shelby double Windsor. You gotta tie a tie that looks weird. The knot has to be out of proportion and weird looking. It\u2019s a studied attempt to look unkempt because you\u2019re so intellectually busy you haven\u2019t got time for trivia such as your appearance. Hairs grow out of your ears so long that people can see them from two feet away. It\u2019s the uniform. Nose hair is the same way. Maybe a stain or two on the shirt, because you had to eat lunch in such a hurry to get back to your intellectual pursuits. You haven\u2019t got time for these things, and you\u2019re working. Nobody ever sees you anyway because you\u2019re in the hallowed halls of the bureaucracy, and you\u2019re there to infest and take over government and never leave it. Conservatives do not train their young kids and children and so forth to do such things in government. They choose to teach them to do it in the private sector.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
