Ryan, it\u2019s great to have you on the EIB Network. Hello, sir.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Mega dittos, Rush, it\u2019s an honor to speak to you.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Thank you.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: But before I start, you could keep me out of the doghouse and make my wife\u2019s day. Can I wish her a happy birthday through you?<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Yeah, yeah, yeah, sure, go ahead. I\u2019ll read something while you\u2019re doing it there.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Sorry, Rush. Happy birthday, Danusha. But my point is &#8212; like you said yesterday &#8212; McCain\u2019s in a political war, okay? And you would agree with me, I\u2019m sure, that this &#8216;honor campaign\u2019 McCain\u2019s fighting is only going to end in defeat. My question to you, Rush, is, &#8216;Why is Ayers off-limits to McCain? Why is Wright off-limits?\u2019 This shouldn\u2019t have been the first thing! That is honor to me, letting the American people know the truth about Obama, but why is it off-limits?<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/01125112.Par.89380.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"200\" height=\"307\" class=\"alignright\"\/>RUSH: Well, now, wait. Off-limits to who, McCain and the campaign or the media?<\/p>\n<p><BR\/>CALLER: To the whole&#8230; Well, we know the media is not going to bring it up. I would love to see McCain bring it up at the debate. I don\u2019t know how he could squeeze it in &#8212;<\/line><BR\/> <\/line><BR\/>RUSH: I don\u2019t know. Look &#8212;<\/line><\/p>\n<p>CALLER: &#8212; and make him eat an excrement sandwich.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Don\u2019t ask me to explain this! Honestly, folks. I know a lot of things, but you\u2019re asking me to explain the McCain campaign? If I had to do an essay for my doctoral thesis, I would have to refuse the assignment. You\u2019re asking me to explain this? All I can tell you is that McCain wants to run a campaign that he thinks is honorable, and he just doesn\u2019t feel comfortable. You know, he asks people on his campaign speaking for him, not to even mention Obama\u2019s middle name: Hussein. So, really. I don\u2019t know. I have no clue. (interruption) Why, what do you mean, I do? I\u2019m not going to say that, Snerdley, that\u2019s not my&#8230; I don\u2019t really say that. Snerdley wants me to say something. We were joking around yesterday, but I\u2019m not going to say it. Can you imagine what Media Matters will do with that? Can you imagine what the Drive-Bys would do with that? If The Politico is going to lie and misrepresent what I said, can you imagine what they would do with that comment? Anyway, Ryan, I appreciate the phone call out there. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: We\u2019re going next to Ryan in Trenton, Canada.
