This led to immediate speculation that Cheney and Limbaugh intend to run as a ticket in 2012, a full-blown international crisis.\u2019 You\u2019re smiling, Mary. I\u2019m smiling. Is there any realistic notion that your former boss, Dick Cheney\u2019s thinking about 2012?\u2019<\/p>\n<p>MATALIN: Well, in a conservative\u2019s dream I\u2019d be giving up this perch, Wolf, in a New York minute to go work for that ticket, but as the vice president said on CNN, no, he\u2019s not running; anything he\u2019s advocating or talking about now is in defense of, or support for, policies that he thinks are important to this country and he has no intention of running again. But be still my heart, the thought of it.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: And I want to just go on the record here, CNN did not call to ask me my thoughts. I have not denied this. They\u2019re just reporting this, but they\u2019ve not sought out me, and I haven\u2019t denied it. Donna Brazile, same program, Donna Brazile was asked by Blitzer, &#8216;It would really energize the base of the GOP, that kind of ticket, Cheney-Limbaugh, don\u2019t you think, Donna?\u2019<\/p>\n<p>BRAZILE: I\u2019m sure it will energize the base, but right now the Republicans &#8212; they understand that they have to do more than just energize the base. They have to rebuild the party and rebuild it, essentially, from scratch. I don\u2019t think the vice president is running, and I hope now that he\u2019s given this big, major speech, he\u2019ll save the rest for his book.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: We gotta take a brief time-out. Do you realize how scared to death they are of this? I mean, ha-ha. We don\u2019t need to energize the base. The base is there. The base is ready for battle and that\u2019s what they know, that\u2019s what they know. The party may have to be rebuilt, but there\u2019s only one way of doing that, and I\u2019ll hold my thoughts on it because I gotta take a brief obscene profit time-out here on the EIB Network.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: By the way, this question that Wolf Blitzer asked of Mary Matalin and Donna Brazile, The Politico got this thing started. It was a very sarcastic piece, Roger Simon, it was very sarcastic about Cheney and me being the 2012 ticket. Simon ended The Politico piece by comparing my audience to Kim Jong-il\u2019s population in that we both have Dittoheads. So Roger Simon of Politico compared you people to the slaves of Kim Jong-il. Now, that was earlier this week. The dirty little secret, for all of you people in the Drive-Bys, is I run for president every four years. Not on the ballot. But you people, depending on the outcome, always say it was my fault. If the Republicans win, Limbaugh did it. Republicans lose, it\u2019s Limbaugh\u2019s fault. So I run every four years anyway, without ever being on the ballot.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Did you know that CNN is speculating out there that the Republican ticket in 2012 will be Cheney and me?
