He uses the occasion to insist that Scott Brown vote the way Ted Kennedy would have. He says, &#8216;Respect the rights of the majority. We hope Brown will respect the rights of the majority.\u2019 So the secretary of state is basically &#8212; and he has no right to do this &#8212; he\u2019s basically suggesting that Scott Brown vote the way Senator Kennedy would vote because this is still Senator Kennedy\u2019s term. <\/p>\n<p>And Patrick Kennedy, who is the son of the late Senator Kennedy, a Democrat from Rhode Island, Patrick Kennedy: &#8216;Scott Brown\u2019s win is way overblown. Bottom line is it just served a lot of people\u2019s political interests to spin this story the way they wanted it.\u2019 Okay, Patrick, let\u2019s talk about what\u2019s overblown and spun for just a second like your dad. Your dad is totally overblown in your mind and the Democrat Party\u2019s mind, but not in everybody\u2019s. He was a self-centered &#8212; well, Chappaquiddick says it all. Your uncle\u2019s totally overblown, your cousin Caroline tried to tell us how smart she was. Overblown. Your whole family here is a fairytale that\u2019s been spun for decades just the way Patrick Kennedy\u2019s family wanted it spun. We\u2019re all pretty much over the spinning of the Kennedy family, but the Brown victory is one thing that we recognize is not overblown, the one thing that is genuine and real. You do not take snatching a seat from a Democrat 47 years and call it overblown. You call it shockingly real and happily real. <\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Patrick Kennedy says Scott Brown\u2019s election in Massachusetts was &#8216;overblown\u2019? Patrick, I noticed you ran in Rhode Island. What happened? Is it too hard to win in Massachusetts now for a Kennedy? Well, I\u2019m just asking. <\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: By the way, you want to know what the hurry is on the Scott Brown swearing in? The hurry is that they\u2019re going to be nominating a real far radical leftist to the National Labor Relations Board. Obama wants his guy, his name is Craig Becker and apparently Brown can stop it. They can have enough votes to prevent the vote from taking place. Obama really, really wants this, and that\u2019s why they were delaying the swearing in of Brown and it\u2019s why the Republicans got to Brown and said: &#8216;Demand to be sworn in here.\u2019 I\u2019m also told &#8212; now, he\u2019s supposed to be sworn in just over two hours &#8212; but I\u2019m told that they\u2019re being pressured, Dingy Harry is being pressured to not go for this, delay it a couple days so they get Craig Becker approved to run up the NLRB. We\u2019ll just have to see. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Now, what I was going to say here, State-Controlled AP headline: &#8216;Brown Taking Over the Late Senator Kennedy\u2019s Seat &#8212;
