Where we going to start, Snerdley? New Paltz, New York. This is Ruth. Ruth, great to have you on the EIB Network. Hello.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Hey, Rush.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Hi.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: I promised Snerdley I would stay on point, so without my teleprompter, here it goes. One statement. You were brilliant at CPAC, during your first national address to our nation, and one question. Why doesn\u2019t this new head of AIG who\u2019s getting, quote, unquote, grilled by the guilty just say, &#8216;I inherited this. Don\u2019t blame me. These were the bonus rules. What can I say?\u2019<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Well, it\u2019s worse than that, even. I understand your point. This guy, Ed Liddy, was handpicked by the government. AIG didn\u2019t hire the guy. The government handpicked Ed Liddy and put him in there. He\u2019s their agent. Folks, I\u2019m telling you, it\u2019s a show, it is manufactured. It is manufactured outrage. They\u2019re bringing Liddy up there. He may be a fall guy. But it\u2019s still a show. The purpose of bringing Liddy up there is to save the bacon of Chris Dodd. Chris Dodd, in the stimulus bill, inserted an amendment okaying these bonuses and exempting them. Now Chris Dodd\u2019s out there saying, &#8216;I didn\u2019t do it, I didn\u2019t do it, Geithner did it,\u2019 or somebody. This is the blind leading the blind. This is Romper Room. We have a bunch of children. The problem is they are in control of trillions of dollars, they\u2019re now in control of several US corporations, and they have no experience whatsoever in running anything that has ever worked, much less made a profit. And yet we sit here and we lionize these people as the great saviors, the protectors. They\u2019re going to make sure we don\u2019t get ripped off by these private sector guys. Ed Liddy appointed by the government. He can\u2019t say he inherited the mess. Besides, President Obama already pardoned him. It happened earlier this week, but they\u2019re going to make a show of throwing the guy to the wolves. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/01125108.Par.89380.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"250\" class=\"alignright\"\/>It\u2019s all a show, folks. If Geithner goes, it\u2019s all show. I don\u2019t know if it\u2019s a possibility. I\u2019m not going to get caught up in whether Geithner goes or not. I think that\u2019s to get sucked in. You could put what I care about Tim Geithner in a thimble. All you need to know is the guy\u2019s incompetent, the guy\u2019s a tax cheat. The guy running the Treasury could not fill out his own taxes, and he has purview over the IRS. We\u2019re supposed to sit here, &#8216;Oh, God, oh, God will Geithner go?\u2019 Do you know what this reminds me of? Early on in the Clinton administration, remember how we all got sidetracked, the FBI, William Sessions, we had to get rid of Bill Sessions. (doing Clinton impression) &#8216;Must fire Bill Sessions.\u2019 I don\u2019t even remember what it was about. This is all a show. It\u2019s all choreographed and staged. If they get rid of Geithner, they\u2019re just going to put some other goofy egghead nerd Ivy Leaguer in there to run the whole thing again. It isn\u2019t going to change anything. Wake up, folks. I couldn\u2019t care less, it doesn\u2019t make any difference.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Can we all agree, folks, I called another one, Geithner has failed. Don\u2019t even have to ask or hope &#8212; he has failed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Let\u2019s grab a couple phone calls. Where we going to start, Snerdley?
