RUSH: Here\u2019s Carl in Ironton, Ohio. Carl, I\u2019m glad you waited. Welcome to the EIB Network.<\/p>\n

CALLER: It\u2019s a great honor and privilege to speak with you, Rush.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Thank you, sir.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I\u2019m really upset at the lack of coverage by the Drive-By Media on this election here in Massachusetts. Can you imagine if this was a long-held Republican seat? These Drive-Bys, I\u2019m telling you, they\u2019d have had every talking head on every morning show they could dig up. They would have been saying, ‘This is a repudiation of the Republicans and their beliefs, their values and their agendas.\u2019<\/p>\n

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

CALLER: And, you know, you\u2019re going to start seeing these Democrats now up for election in 2010 flee from Obama like rats from a sinking ship. This guy is the kiss of death. I truly believe what happened yesterday in Massachusetts, Rush, this is a tsunami, and it\u2019s heading fast and furious to the rest of the Democratic Party all across this country.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Amen. And most of them know it.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Most of them know it. But boy, you are so right. They\u2019d be wall-to-wall! If this were a Republican seat in Orange County that had been held for 40 years and went down the tubes, that\u2019s all we\u2019d be hearing. Let\u2019s go to Today Show today, audio sound bite six and seven. Meredith Vieira got the first shot at Scott Brown. I think she whiffed the question. ‘On a personal note you said last night the first call you made after your victory was to Ted Kennedy\u2019s widow Vicki. How comfortable was that for both of you, knowing that you\u2019re going to do whatever you can to derail what Ted Kennedy called ‘the cause of his lifetime,\u2019 which was health care reform?\u2019<\/p>\n

BROWN: First of all, you\u2019re misrepresenting. I never said I was going to do everything I can to stop health care. I believe that everybody should have health care. It\u2019s just a question of how we do it. Do we do a one-size-fits-all plan or do we have the states actually get more involved and do what we did. The call to Ms. Kennedy was very nice. I felt it was important to call her because I\u2019ve known Mr. and Mrs. Kennedy for a while. I\u2019ve worked with them for many, many years and he was, as you know, a living legend and had a great sense of humor — and I enjoyed that especially about him as well as the constituent services that they do in Washington.<\/p>\n

RUSH: All right. That\u2019s their B-roll in the background of Ted Kennedy. That\u2019s not double-talk here on our part. But the lesson here is: Don\u2019t accept the premise. Do not accept the premise. Very quickly, next question: ‘Bigger picture here: Some have said this is a referendum on the president. Do you agree with that?\u2019<\/p>\n

BROWN: No, it\u2019s bigger than that. I really is. For us in our area, we have three speakers that were indicted, three senators that resigned in disgrace. We have out-of-control taxation and spending in Massachusetts. You couple that with what\u2019s being proposed nationally, people are angry. They\u2019re tired of the backroom deals. They want transparency, they want good government, they want fairness, and they want people to start working and solving their problems.<\/p>\n

RUSH: ‘It\u2019s bigger than Obama.\u2019 Back after this.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Folks, there\u2019s another way to look at what happened yesterday in Massachusetts, including Hyannis Port. I mean, I don\u2019t know how else to describe this. I don\u2019t know how else to characterize this. It just seems to me that all those good people in Massachusetts want Obama to fail, even the people in Hyannis Port. Doesn\u2019t it seem that way to you? The people of Massachusetts, by a vast majority, want Obama to fail.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
