Stand up, Chuck. Let \u2019em see you. (rimshot) Oh, God love you. What am I talking about? (rimshot) I tell you what, you\u2019re making everybody else stand up, though, pal. (rimshot) I tell you what, stand up for Chuck. (rimshot)<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Stand up for Chuck! Hey, Chuck, stand up, old buddy. (laughing) oh, God, oh, love you, what am I talking about? And then it\u2019s followed up, in Nashua, New Hampshire, Joe Biden.<\/p>\n<p><embed align=\"right\"\/>BIDEN: Hillary Clinton is as qualified or more qualified than I am to be vice president of the United States of America. (rimshot) Let\u2019s get that straight. She\u2019s a truly close personal friend. (rimshot) She is qualified to be president of the United States of America. (rimshot) She\u2019s easily qualified to be vice president of the United States of America. (rimshot) And, quite frankly, um, it might have been a better pick than me. (rimshot) But she\u2019s first rate.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: (laughing) I can\u2019t stand this! I just can\u2019t it! (laughter) Can you imagine Obama when he hears about this? He\u2019s getting ready to go on the Letterman show, he hears about this. (laughing) Again, ladies and gentlemen, we play it again. I thought we were going to play it again, number four, can we have it again?<\/p>\n<p>BIDEN: Hillary Clinton is as qualified or more qualified than I am to be vice president of the United States of America. (rimshot) Let\u2019s get that straight. She\u2019s a truly close personal friend. (rimshot) She is qualified to be president of the United States of America.

Can everybody stand up for Chuck, and then our buddies at the Power Line blog have this little paragraph: &#8216;Perhaps these findings explain Joe Biden\u2019s uncharacteristic commitment to the use of force yesterday. At the same appearance at which Biden paid tribute to Senator Clinton\u2019s possibly superior qualifications to be vice president, Biden discussed Republican attack ads. Referring to the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth campaign against John Kerry in 2004, Biden said he\u2019s not going to let that happen again. Quote, &#8216;Swiftboating is not gonna work this time and the reason it is not, number one, I\u2019m going to smack \u2019em right square in the chops.&#8221; (laughing) <\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Remember, ladies and gentlemen, it was I, your beloved and trusted host, El Rushbo, who, when I heard that Biden was on the short list of Obama, I said, &#8216;Please, let it be Biden, please, let it be Biden.\u2019 And, of course, the Drive-Bys, &#8216;Why does Limbaugh want Biden?\u2019 made a big deal out of it. Here on CNN\u2019s Election Center, August 21st, the fill-in host John King spoke to Democrat strategist Bob Shrum, and they had this exchange.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/01125110.Par.4584.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"175\" height=\"171\" class=\"alignright\"\/>KING: Rush Limbaugh today said this on the radio. He said, &#8216;I really hope it\u2019s Biden. I don\u2019t want to say that too loud, but I really do hope that it\u2019s Joe Biden because we\u2019ve got a mountain of archival audio on Joe Biden plus the arrogance factor times two. Biden and The Messiah would just be delicious.\u2019 Bob Shrum, just a rant from Rush Limbaugh or does he have a point?<\/p>\n<p>SHRUM: It\u2019s a rant from Rush Limbaugh. I think Joe Biden would be a terrific choice. His depth of knowledge on foreign policy, his capacity to go out there and campaign, to really go after the Republicans.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: All right, now, ladies and gentlemen, here is why I wanted so badly Obama to pick Joe Biden.<\/p>\n<p>BIDEN: Uh, uh, Chuck Graham, state senator, is here. Stand up, Chuck. Let \u2019em see you. (rimshot) Oh, God love you. What am I talking about? (rimshot) I tell you what, you\u2019re making everybody else stand up, though, pal. (rimshot) I tell you what, stand up for Chuck. (rimshot)<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: And here\u2019s another reason why I wanted Joe Biden.<\/p>\n<p>BIDEN: Hillary Clinton is as qualified or more qualified than I am to be vice president of the United States of America. (rimshot) Let\u2019s get that straight. She\u2019s a truly close personal friend. (rimshot) She is qualified to be president of the United States of America. (rimshot) She\u2019s easily qualified to be vice president of the United States of America. (rimshot) And, quite frankly, um, it might have been a better pick than me.
