This was Friday. They had a seminar at Georgetown University during a conference on the presidential transition. The moderator was John Harris of The Politico. He spoke with George &#8216;Stephy\u2019 Stephanopoulos from ABC. John Harris said, &#8216;How much does that increase the challenge that President Obama has of changing the tone, the partisan tone in Washington, the fact that there\u2019s this industry that to some extent feeds on conflict and ideological debate.\u2019 Now, I don\u2019t know what industry he\u2019s talking about. I would wager talk radio. But I think the industry that feeds on conflict and ideological debate is the Drive-Bys. We just clean up their messes here every day. But here\u2019s what Stephanopoulos said.<\/p>\n<p>STEPHANOPOULOS: It makes it tough because to the extent you take it on it appears to be a partisan act. You know, so when the president takes on Rush Limbaugh, who he thinks is just, you know, engaging in shout fest, it becomes fodder for the echo chamber.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: So what is this? Stephanopoulos saying that Obama attacked me in order stop partisan attacks? But when you do that it looks like you\u2019re being partisan when he\u2019s really trying to change the tone? He was really trying to change the tone when he called me out. Oh, I didn\u2019t figure that out. He was just trying to change the tone when he called me out and told people to stop listening to me. I don\u2019t know if that conference call is still happening. Rahm Emanuel, James Carville, The Forehead, Paul Begala, and Stephanopoulos. I don\u2019t know if it\u2019s still happening, but Rahm Emanuel, chief of staff, had called those guys for a conference call, the old Clinton war room guys every day to discuss the day\u2019s agenda. Speaking of Carville, he was on CNN\u2019s Situation Room on Friday night, the fill-in host Suzanne Malveaux asked Carville, &#8216;The president really put a lot of time in at least courting Republicans. Do you think it was worth it? Do you think he shoulda just given up on that and basically go with his own base at this point?\u2019<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/01125112.Par.89380.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"280\" height=\"216\" class=\"alignright\"\/>CARVILLE: My friend Rahm Emanuel said today that they did waste some time on bipartisanship, and, look, this is speeches, this is for college kids in Iowa and columnists in weekly magazines and newspapers. Rahm, they don\u2019t want you to succeed. They\u2019re not going to be for you, none of them. Rush Limbaugh said it. He said, &#8216;I don\u2019t want him to succeed.\u2019 It\u2019s a show that\u2019s dominated by talk radio, the southern base, and that\u2019s just what the Republican Party is.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: You can\u2019t get more southern than Carville. (laughing) (doing Carville impression) &#8216;Rush Limbaugh, Rahm, they don\u2019t want you to succeed. Rush Limbaugh said it. Where you been? Don\u2019t you know that? Don\u2019t you know that? Rush wants you to fail.\u2019 Which is right. I want this whole plan to bomb out. And the only way this plan will bomb out is if it causes the pain that we know it\u2019s going to cause, \u2019cause folks, if this, quote, unquote, works, it can only work for Democrats; it can only work for the Big Government types; it can only work for the authoritarians. You better join me in hoping this thing fails \u2019cause there\u2019s nothing in this to create jobs; there\u2019s nothing in this that\u2019s going to create careers. This is not about that at all. This is about stimulating Obama\u2019s presidency, stimulating the Democrat Party.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: I want to show you how liberals think. This was Friday.
