RUSH: Mariel in Rehoboth, Massachusetts. Welcome to the EIB Network. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hi, Rush.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Hey.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I\u2019m so angry right now. First, I\u2019m going to preface by saying I need to ask you a huge favor.<\/p>\n

RUSH: What\u2019s that?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, first let me tell you where I\u2019m going with this. For the first time in my 51 years I am actually voting against the United States. I am hoping that the United States does not get the honor of hosting the Olympics. <\/p>\n

RUSH: Wait a second. Are you saying you want the United States and specifically Chicago to fail?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes, I do. I really do. And I\u2019m sick about it. I\u2019m at the point now where I\u2019m so appalled, I Googled ‘poor housing, Chicago and rattrap\u2019 and I got a list of people who are responsible and who are Obama backers who right now have really inhabitable houses that they stand to make millions and millions of dollars if Chicago gets the Olympics.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I know.<\/p>\n

CALLER: And these are houses that they bought with ACORN funding.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I know.<\/p>\n

CALLER: And it is so sad that we —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah. Gotta take a break, hold on. When we come back I want to hear what your favor is.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay, we go back to Mariel in Rehoboth, Massachusetts. What\u2019s the favor that you wanted to ask me?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, first, I\u2019m embarrassed to ask you because with all you do you don\u2019t need people calling you up and asking you for favors.<\/p>\n

RUSH: So why are you?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, because I think you need this, too.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Ooooh, yeah. <\/p>\n

CALLER: I think we need a little vacation of fun for a day and I don\u2019t know, Rush, in your great wit and humor, give us a day just free of stress and strife. I\u2019m so angry my stomach hurts, and I don\u2019t think I\u2019ve missed a day since 1988 when my kids were babies of listening to you, and I will continue to listen to you forever, but my most fun days are the days when you\u2019re making fun of those that we love to hear you make fun of. So I\u2019m just asking for maybe just an hour of a no-Obama time where we just maybe look back on your greatest, just your best stuff and kind of laugh and recharge our happy batteries. Does that sound very liberal? I hope not.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, I will get e-mails from people accusing you of being a seminar caller asking me to take a hike at the peak of my effectiveness.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Oh, never, Rush, never, ever, ever. No, no, no, no, no. From 12 to 3 I even schedule my clients so that I don\u2019t take any clients between 12 and 3. I just need — I\u2019m so stressed out with all of this —<\/p>\n

RUSH: I know —<\/p>\n

CALLER: — and so absolutely angry.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, everybody wants to laugh. You want to be happy and so forth.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, even just for a half hour.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, I\u2019m working on a full three hours. It\u2019s a project much more difficult than I thought it would be, prepping three hours with virtually no mention of Obama.<\/p>\n

CALLER: It\u2019s difficult.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yes.<\/line><\/line>CALLER: Even if you just replayed your Jay Leno visit, because you looked so hot, Rush, really, really, hot.<\/line><\/p>\n

RUSH: (laughing.)<\/p>\n

CALLER: So there you go, that will tell you that I\u2019m not a seminar caller. Wow. So even if that was just played over and over again.<\/p>\n

RUSH: What are they doing, they\u2019re replaying the takeoff of Sully Sullenberger. Are they hoping the birds will hit on the video replay? What are they doing here? It\u2019s amazing. They\u2019ve got somebody on the phone from Charlotte ready to report that Sully Sullenberger landed safely with no bird attacks in Charlotte, North Carolina. It\u2019s like standing on the beach saying no hurricane yet, which distresses them, by the way. All right, Mariel, I hear what you\u2019re saying, lighthearted, jocular day. Tomorrow is Open Line Friday. I\u2019ll tell you what I\u2019ll do. I\u2019ll stay up \u2019til six in the morning, I\u2019ll stay up \u2019til five in the morning, I got plenty to do, I\u2019ll get two, two-and-a-half hours sleep, because when that happens I\u2019m always giddy, I\u2019m always in a giddy, lighthearted mood and I\u2019ll give that a shot and maybe, who knows, tomorrow might be the day. I can\u2019t promise I won\u2019t have any mentions of Obama, it\u2019s too crucial, but, can I do that? Yeah, I can do that because I\u2019ll have a chance to sleep in Saturday. <\/p>\n

I\u2019m going to Pittsburgh Saturday for the Steelers-Chargers on Sunday night, but not leaving until the afternoon sometime on Saturday. (interruption) What could be sad? Pittsburgh and the Chargers, sad for me? What, you think the Chargers are going to win, Snerdley? Is that what you\u2019re talking about? Of course they could, any given Sunday. Of course the Chargers could. I don\u2019t think so. I know Steelers are 1-2 but they lost two on the road, now they come home, Sunday night Pittsburgh, primetime. Chargers have never won a regular season game in Pittsburgh. Now, wait a minute. Is that they\u2019ve never won a regular season game in Pittsburgh or they\u2019ve never won a regular season game on Heinz Field? I\u2019m going to have to double-check. They have won playoff games there, but they haven\u2019t won regular season games. (laughing) Keep going, Snerdley. He\u2019s goading me in here. ‘Hey, your Steelers have the same record as the Detroit Lions.\u2019 Yeah. Well, we\u2019ll see. Oh, now he\u2019s ‘Lucky to win the first one, eh, against the Tennessee Titans overtime, right?\u2019 Lucky to win the first time I\u2019m being told. Should be 0-3, is that right? Steelers should be 0-3? And you\u2019re a fan of who? The Tampa Bay Buccaneers who amassed 38 yards of total offense or 60 some odd yards in total offense last week? And you\u2019re jamming me about the Steelers? <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
