RUSH: Yesterday morning on the Fox News Channel\u2019s America\u2019s Newsroom, the anchor, Bill Hemmer, spoke with Bob Beckel. He said, ‘The Obama campaign is set to release a 13-minute documentary about McCain\u2019s involvement in the Keating Five scandal from the early 1990s. How does this play with voters now, Bob? You get the first crack at this. Is this a strategery. How do you see it?\u2019<\/p>\n

BECKEL: She [Palin] could be Freddy Krueger\u2019s running buddy on Elm Street.<\/p>\n

HEMMER: The simple point that she was making is that his first political campaign of his life back in 1996 took place in the living room of Bill Ayers. That is factual, Bob.<\/p>\n

BECKEL: But is that palling around with terrorists?<\/p>\n

HEMMER: And later he served on a board, an education board in the south side of Chicago.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, now, this is interesting. So here is Beckel, ‘She could be Freddy Krueger\u2019s running buddy on Elm Street.\u2019 Freddy Krueger was a murderer in a movie. ‘The simple point she was making is that his first political campaign in his life back in 1996 took place in the living room of Bill Ayers. That\u2019s factual, Bob.\u2019 ‘But that isn\u2019t palling around with terrorists.\u2019 Hey, Bob, for somebody like Obama who claims he didn\u2019t know Ayers that well, why would Ayers give him $100 million to play around with education in the Chicago Annenberg project? That was Ayers\u2019 idea. Why give somebody $100 million bucks to play around with education if you don\u2019t know them that well? This Keating Five business, by the way, will not hold water. McCain has been exonerated of any of that. In fact, do you know what? Obama has one of the truly guilty Keating Five members on his advisory panel. That would be Ohio senator John Glenn. John Glenn was not exonerated in the Keating Five. He was found guilty. McCain was exonerated. John McCain had nothing to do with it. Obama has a Keating Five senator, convicted — well, I don\u2019t know convicted, but affirmed that he was involved in the corruption on his advisory team, and that would be Senator John Glenn from Ohio. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: I want to go back to this Bob Beckel sound bite — and after that, I\u2019m going to kick this printer into the corner like it\u2019s a bunch of crap, and I\u2019m going to feed it to the rats. Well, not here. I\u2019ll put it in the building parking lot next door. Here\u2019s Bob Beckel again. This is yesterday morning on the Fox News Channel. Hemmer, Bill Hemmer says, ‘The Obama campaign is set to release a 13-minute documentary about McCain\u2019s involvement in the Keating Five. How does this play with voters, Bob? I mean, you get the first crack at this, this strategy. How do you see it?\u2019 <\/p>\n

BECKEL: She [Palin] could be Freddy Krueger\u2019s running buddy on Elm Street. <\/p>\n

HEMMER: Come on!<\/p>\n

BECKEL: Are you kidding me?<\/p>\n

HEMMER: The simple point that she was making is that his first political campaign of his life, back in 1996, took place in the living room of Bill Ayers. That is factual, Bob.<\/p>\n

BECKEL: But is that ‘palling around with terrorists\u2019?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Stop the tape. Yes! If you\u2019re in the living room of a terrorist and he is hosting a fundraiser, you are palling around with a terrorist! When the same terrorist gives you 50 or a hundred million bucks to do with what you want to ‘fix education,\u2019 I\u2019d say you\u2019re ‘palling around with a terrorist.\u2019 Bob? Let me ask you a question, old buddy, old pal. What do Barack Obama and Osama bin Laden have in common? They both have friends, Bob, who bombed the Pentagon. That\u2019s palling around with terrorists, Bob! Then he goes on to say, Sarah Palin ‘could be Freddy Krueger\u2019s running buddy on Elm Street.\u2019 Do you all remember the incident in 2002 when Bob Beckel hired a hooker off the Internet? You can see it up there on The Smoking Gun. Her name is Maryam Massihi, a 21-year-old hooker. He had her into a bathroom and gave her a blank check to pay her. <\/p>\n

Something like $1,300 was the charge. She tried to extort more. She ‘uses the names Tiffany and Cindy professionally. [H]er cohorts allegedly tried to extort $50,000 in hush money from [Beckel and his] recent run-in with [her] is detailed in this search warrant affidavit filed August 23 [2002] in Alexandria, Virginia\u2019s Circuit Court. Beckel discovered his young consort via the Internet … and paid her by check, which proved helpful when cops began probing who was trying to [blackmail] Beckel. With Massihi…\u2019 Who else paid by check? That\u2019s right, Jerry Springer paid by check. When he was mayor of Cincinnati, he paid a hooker by check. So can we really expect any better from Bob Beckel, a guy who pals around with hookers and then pays \u2019em with checks that bounce? The check bounced! The $1,300 blank check bounced, and so the extortion scheme began. At least Beckel was paying for the real thing. You know, there are media people out there that will pay $2 million for phone sex settlement cases. At least Beckel was out there doing the real thing. Other guys just go out, have phone sex, and have to be bailed out to the tune of two million bucks to keep it quiet. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
