RUSH: On Scarborough\u2019s show yesterday. This… This… (sigh) This is Huckabee.<\/p>\n

HUCKABEE: I bet you never did this. When I was in college, we used to take a popcorn popper — because that was the only thing they would let us use in the dorms — and we would fry squirrel in popcorn poppers in the dorm room. <\/p>\n

SCARBOROUGH: Ohhhhhhhhhhhh!<\/p>\n

WOMAN: O-kay.<\/p>\n

HUCKABEE: Bet you never did that.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Nope. Nope. Nope. How could I kid about it? We don\u2019t yet have ‘white comedian Paul Shanklin\u2019 doing an impersonation of Huckabee. That was Huckabee. Play it again. That was Huckabee on Scarborough yesterday. <\/p>\n

HUCKABEE: I bet you never did this. When I was in college, we used to take a popcorn popper — because that was the only thing they would let us use in the dorms — and we would fry squirrel in popcorn poppers in the dorm room. <\/p>\n

SCARBOROUGH: Ohhhhhhhhhhhh!<\/p>\n

HUCKABEE: Bet you never did that.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay. Well, I don\u2019t think he\u2019s reaching out to the culinary workers because they\u2019re in Vegas; he\u2019s in South Carolina. But this is the kind of thing the Drive-Bys just salivate about. ‘Please, God, nominate this guy. Please? Pleeeease?\u2019 By the way, Obama, Obama has come out for animal rights. Do you want to hear pure pandering? (interruption) The squirrels are safe because of Obama. Wait until Obama hears that Huckabee fried squirrels in that popcorn popper. ‘Democrat Barack Obama, in Nevada, says he won\u2019t just be president for the American people, but for the animals, too. A woman shouted during his town hall meeting outside Vegas yesterday. He was discussing issues that relate more to humans, like war, health care, and the economy,\u2019 and some liberal babe in the audience said, ”What about animal rights?\u2019 Obama responded that he cares about animal rights very much, quote, ‘not only because I have a nine-year-old and a six-year-old who want a dog.\u2019 He said he sponsored a bill to prevent horse slaughter in the Illinois state senate and has been repeatedly endorsed by the Humane Society. ‘I think how we treat our animals reflects how we treat each other,\u2019 he said, ‘and it\u2019s very important that we have a president who is mindful of the cruelty perpetrated on animals.” (laughter) I\u2019m not kidding. I\u2019m not. I\u2019ll tell you why I\u2019m laughing at this. I could just see these liberals in the audience with their tongues hanging out, soaking all this up. (panting) He\u2019s reintroducing America here, Mr. Snerdley, to what Leahy said, ‘We need to reintroduce America to America,\u2019 and this is it: a president who is mindful of the cruelty perpetrated on animals.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: What did Obama say here? ‘It\u2019s very important that we have a president who is mindful of the cruelty perpetrated on animals.\u2019 I wonder what he thinks of Michael Vick. Get the Vick vote or ignore the Vick vote. If Huckabee\u2019s elected president, do you think we now have an idea what the menu would be at the first state dinner? Fried squirrel. I got a note. My North Carolina mistress is upset with me, can\u2019t tell you why, because I never know why. I just know she\u2019s upset. This is a very snarky e-mail: ‘What\u2019s the difference between frying squirrel in a popcorn popper and killing a mouse in a garbage can while spraying Pam on it like you did?\u2019 Very simple. I didn\u2019t eat the mouse. I\u2019m going to call my buddies, Bobby and Todd Hatoff, up at Allen Brothers<\/a>, ‘Do you guys have squirrel? You\u2019ve never said anything about it, but it\u2019s obviously a delicacy in certain parts of the country, and maybe you have Kobe squirrel, you know, massage the squirrel to make sure the fat\u2019s marbled throughout.\u2019 We could be on the verge of something huge here. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
