RUSH: Bill in Philadelphia. Greatly to have you here, sir, on Open Line Friday.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Captain, my captain! It\u2019s actually Gil, not Bill, but mega-consulting dittos from Philadelphia. I just wanted to say that as a consulting engineer, I have a small firm and when I get the system to work for me, I call that ‘success,\u2019 and when the system fails me, I call that ‘failure.\u2019 So by Barack Obama looking for somebody that the system has failed, isn\u2019t he in that sense looking for someone who\u2019s a failure?<\/p>\n

RUSH: For a Supreme Court nominee?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes, sir.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah! He\u2019s looking for a failure. He\u2019s looking for somebody who\u2019s been on the wrong side of the law, somebody… Yeah, he\u2019s looking for somebody who does not know success because those people… See, in his worldview the only reason those people are on the wrong side of the law or haven\u2019t had any success is because the achievers and those who have accomplished things are stealing from them and denying them opportunity, and that\u2019s what he\u2019s gonna change and he\u2019s hell-bent on it and he\u2019s making it clear every time he opens his mouth.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Being Open Line Friday, can I go off topic just for a moment?<\/p>\n

RUSH: There are no topics on Open Line Friday, so go for it. Just make it good.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, you know, concerning the banking failures, in 1992, when Bill Clinton came to office, there were about 12,000 banks in the United States.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Mmm-hmm.<\/p>\n

CALLER: It was Clinton\u2019s policy and the policy of the Federal Reserve that they wanted fewer but larger banks. And when he left office, I believe there were about 8,000 banks. And essentially, what this meant was, America lost its diversity in the banking industry. So when we have failures, they\u2019re bigger and much worse — and this is a topic that I think is being largely ignored.<\/p>\n

RUSH: It\u2019s an excellent point out there, Gil. I\u2019m glad you went off topic.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Thank you, Rush. I\u2019m glad I didn\u2019t let you down, buddy!<\/p>\n

RUSH: You didn\u2019t let me down, Gil. And I\u2019m sorry for mispronouncing your name. It was Snerdley\u2019s mistake.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Oh, I knew that. I\u2019ve never heard you make a mistake, Rush.<\/p>\n

RUSH: That\u2019s right. I don\u2019t. When I make a mistake it\u2019s other people and I usually cover for them. (laughs)<\/p>\n

CALLER: Thanks for covering for all of us, Rush. We love you and we appreciate it.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Thank you, too, Gil, thanks very much for the call, buddy. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
