RUSH: We\u2019ll start with Ernesto, Asbury Park, New Jersey. It\u2019s nice to have you on the program, sir. Welcome.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Thank you. There is a UK Telegraph article linked on the Drudge Report that ranks America\u2019s most influential conservative and liberals.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yes.<\/p>\n

CALLER: And I notice that on our side, Rudy Giuliani is number one, and you are number five. I kind of take that personally, because I think your stock is undervalued because I feel you represent the American conservative better than anyone.<\/p>\n

<\/a>RUSH: Well, thank you, sir, very much. I myself thought that I should have finished in the number-one position in this poll, just like I thought I should have won the Nobel Peace Prize. But you can\u2019t win everything, and they can\u2019t take the Peace Prize nomination away from me ever and I\u2019ll always be number five in the poll. But I do have to tell you, I\u2019m stunned. When this whole thing started Monday, they did 20 a day all week. <\/p>\n

When this thing started on Monday I had friends of mine saying, ‘You know, you\u2019re going to be number one.\u2019<\/p>\n

I said, ‘Nope. It ain\u2019t going to happen. I\u2019ll be lucky to crack the top 50,\u2019 and then when I made the top 50, I said, ‘Whoa.\u2019 Then I made the top 40, top 30. But I said, ‘I\u2019m not going to be number one; it\u2019s gonna be some elected official or somebody running for office who will be number one.\u2019 Lo and behold, it\u2019s Rudy. Now, Rudy is a good guy, but Rudy is not leading a conservative movement at all, and doesn\u2019t intend to. There\u2019s nobody else out there that is leading a conservative movement that\u2019s running for office. The conservative movement right now is being led by media people, and that\u2019s why a lot of them end up in that list. But, you know, there\u2019s a lot of strange rankings. I can\u2019t mention any names here, but there\u2019s some really, really strange placements there that, trust me, Ernesto, make no sense.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Can I make another comparison? <\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, by all means, feel free.<\/p>\n

CALLER: If you look at the most influential liberals in comparison to the most influential conservatives, most of the conservatives are unimpeachable in terms of accomplishment and character. When you look at the liberals, they\u2019ve been impeached. So it\u2019s kind of disturbing.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah, I know. But, look, these lists are silly because obviously the guy that wrote these lists, it\u2019s his personal view, after studying it. I\u2019m sure he gave it the best shot. But I\u2019ll tell you what I like about it. At least it\u2019s not from TIME magazine. You know, it\u2019s not from Vanity Fair. We\u2019ve actually got a British paper that put this together, and in some sense, some ways it\u2019s far more representative of the truth than some of the pop culture lists that you get from TIME, Vanity Fair, Vogue, whatever, these kind of things. It\u2019s just nice to see another list that people were paying attention to, taken seriously. Ernesto, thanks for the call. I appreciate it. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
