RUSH: I was talking to Snerdley during the break. Snerdley was rubbing his hands together, he\u2019s sort of excited about the inauguration, and he asked me this question, he said, ‘How long do you think it\u2019s going to be before these Obama voters realize that it was all smoke and mirrors?\u2019 I said, ‘What do you mean?\u2019 ‘Well, I mean, Rush, I\u2019ve talked to some of these Obama people. They really think the world is gonna change; they think everything\u2019s magically going to change.\u2019 I said, ‘And they will continue to think so.\u2019 ‘No, it won\u2019t change!\u2019 He said to me, ‘Things are going to get worse, even Obama is saying they\u2019re going to get worse. They\u2019re not going to get better. None of what he said is going to happen is going to happen.\u2019 I said, ‘You\u2019re missing the point. The people you\u2019re talking about who voted for Obama are delusional in the first place. Once you\u2019re delusional, you\u2019re always delusional.\u2019 I said, ‘Why do you expect these people to become rational about 30 minutes after noon on January 20th?\u2019 ‘Because they\u2019re going to see that their lives aren\u2019t any better.\u2019 No, wrong. They\u2019re going to continue to delude themselves into thinking their lives are better. But they won\u2019t be. It doesn\u2019t matter. He\u2019s going to be there. It\u2019s a cult. <\/p>\n

If he told them they were all going to go to the Hale-Bopp comet, they\u2019d jostle to be first in line. As long as he\u2019s there, this group of Obama voters, as long as he\u2019s there, they could lose everything and still think the world\u2019s getting better because he\u2019s there, and he\u2019s telling them, and it\u2019s just his air, it is his manner of speaking, plus they know what a beefcake he is underneath the shirt and tie now. Even though he might lose the Drudge poll, it\u2019s just going to make them love him even more. I mean, dueling socialists here on the Drudge page, it\u2019s hard to figure out on what basis people are voting. Putin does look a little flabbier to me. Both are in shape, but Putin has the pasty white skin of the KGB that never sees the sunlight living in Russia. You know, vodka stretch marks down there, but still, Putin pulling away, what is the vote now? Twenty-six nine to sixteen eight, in terms of thousands, 43, almost 44,000 votes. I think Drudge only put this thing up at ten o\u2019clock or 11, so people are pouring in madly to vote on this. But seriously, as long as he\u2019s there doing press conferences appearing in public these people are going to think just because he\u2019s there, everything is getting better, even if it isn\u2019t for them. <\/p>\n

I don\u2019t know what percentage of Obama voters those are but there\u2019s quite a few of them. If you\u2019re expecting those people to wake up one day — this is like expecting the media to change their mind, Snerdley. When do you think that\u2019s going to happen? You think the media wants to drum this guy into trouble and have no more trips to Hawaii? Is this going to be the getaway White House? You know how far Hawaii is? It\u2019s a ten-hour trip out there from the Right Coast. Depending on winds, it could even be longer. <\/p>\n

RUSH: This is a Kathleen, a cell call from Miami at the airport there. Hey, Kathleen, nice to have you here.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hi, Rush. Thanks for taking my call. A little bit frazzled. I\u2019ve been buzzed twice by the sheriffs because I\u2019m in the Miami airport trying to talk to you quickly. Thank God my husband\u2019s a saint because he\u2019s in baggage claim.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Wait just a second. I need a definition of terms. What do you mean buzzed by the sheriff?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, I told the person who took my call I was headed to Miami airport and it\u2019s kind of taking my —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Oh.<\/p>\n

CALLER: — risk and they shoot up behind you and buzz you with your lights and get outta here and get going.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I gotcha, I gotcha, I gotcha. Sheriff and the word buzz I think of taser.<\/p>\n

CALLER: No, no, no. It\u2019s my first time calling, I\u2019m a little bit nervous, but I haven\u2019t had a chance to see Obama\u2019s picture, but I\u2019ve heard you talking about it, and it just made me think, well, now that he has this beefcake photo all over the Internet, do you think that he\u2019s going to have intern issues like Bill Clinton did?<\/p>\n

RUSH: No.<\/p>\n

CALLER: (laughing)<\/p>\n

RUSH: I don\u2019t think even if he does, we\u2019ll never hear about it. He\u2019s too big to fail. He can\u2019t be that stupid. He could be that arrogant, could be that arrogant, but I don\u2019t think we\u2019re going to go there. These scandals of the Democrat Party are repetitive in the terms that scandals happen, but they take different forms. I don\u2019t want to predict whatever Obama scandal might happen. We\u2019re already in the midst of one here, Blago, and you see how they\u2019re sweeping that away.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, I just think that, you know, he must wake up every morning and think, wow, I\u2019m about to be the most powerful man in the world.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, wouldn\u2019t you?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, yeah. But he tips toward the arrogance, and I don\u2019t know, he\u2019s got four years, so I think he might become a little overwhelmed by his female followers.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Just talking to Snerdley about that, there\u2019s nothing he\u2019s going to be able to do to disappoint the cult followers that he has. Their lives could hit the sewer, and as long as he\u2019s still president, they will think that America and the world and their lives are better just because he\u2019s there. Now, do you use a computer?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes.<\/p>\n

RUSH: All right. When you get to your computer and you go to the Drudge page and you\u2019ll be able to see the online poll between who is the hunkiest authoritarian socialist leader — by the way, Drudge is not presenting it that way. That\u2019s the way I\u2019m characterizing it. You\u2019ve got Putin and the KGB and you got Obama. And right now, the vote is 52,000 plus have voted, it\u2019s 33,000 to 19,000 for Putin. And I\u2019d be interested, you are a woman, you sound like a babe.<\/p>\n

CALLER: (laughing) What\u2019s the question? <\/p>\n

RUSH: No, that\u2019s not the question. I\u2019m just telling you. There\u2019s Dawn in there just rolling her eyes. What\u2019s wrong with that? What in the world is wrong with that? Is it discriminatory? Is it judgmental? What, is it sexist?<\/p>\n

CALLER: No, I take it as a compliment.<\/p>\n

RUSH: It\u2019s sexist to call a woman a babe?<\/p>\n

CALLER: I\u2019m taking it as a compliment.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, good. Good. It\u2019s sexist to say you sound like a babe. Anyway, you will find, I think, as a babe, that when you look at the two pictures that Drudge has up there you\u2019ll note that both Putin and Obama have body shaved their chests. They are hairless and looking for the sheen, you know. But what you\u2019ll find is that Putin looks like a fully developed man as you would expect somebody in the KGB to look. Obama looks boyish. He looks beanpole-ish while he does have some definition. I think that\u2019s why Obama\u2019s losing this big time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
