(interruption) Well, I really didn\u2019t. I didn\u2019t get a whole lot of pro-ethanol e-mails last night. I was kind of surprised but I did not get a lot of grief. It\u2019s not cleaner. None of it is true. The whole hoax has finally come through. Now, listen to this sound bite, though. This is last night on CNBC. This is funny. It\u2019s a show called CNBC Reports. And the host of this show, Dennis Kneale, spoke with Alexandra Leo of Huffington Post. (It\u2019s amazing where you can go to get qualified experts these days, isn\u2019t it?) Spoke to the Huffington Post\u2019s Alexandra Leo about an ethanol company filing for bankruptcy and the host here, Dennis Kneale, says, &#8216;Now, today the units of Pacific Ethanol filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, triumph of science over politics? Alexandra, why don\u2019t you kick us off here?\u2019<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/01125108.Par.89380.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"280\" height=\"208\" class=\"alignright\"\/>LEO: Ethanol is the Rush Limbaugh of energy products. It makes a ton of headlines but it\u2019s completely useless for everyone. I mean, frankly this thing is so inefficient it costs more energy to make it than it produces in the long run. The market\u2019s fixed this problem and it\u2019s gone out of business and it\u2019s taken huge, huge hits and that\u2019s exactly what should\u2019ve happened.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: (laughing) Do you people realize how much I am hated or envied, resented, despised? (laughing) I mean, they use me to make my own point. I was the forerunner making this point! I have been out there for months and I have been taking grief from audience members in Iowa over trying to get the truth out about ethanol. And finally, the left has to admit it. They use me and the point I\u2019ve made to make their point while claiming I\u2019m useless! I just think it\u2019s funny. Something about me renders these people insane and irrational. I wish I knew what it was. Actually, I don\u2019t wish I knew what it was because then I would try to do what I\u2019m obviously doing naturally, and I want it to continue. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Now, yesterday, ladies and gentlemen, I shared with you a story on how ethanol, finally the jig\u2019s up here on ethanol.
