This is State-Controlled Associated Press: &#8216;Scott Brown Must Work with Democrats to Survive &#8212; Brown\u2019s Independence Could Face Senate Test. Scott Brown says he\u2019s a different kind of Republican, a centrist willing to work with Senate Democrats to fix health care and the ailing economy. His independent bent is likely to be sorely tested in a bitterly divided Senate, <img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/01125108.Par.89380.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"350\" height=\"352\" class=\"alignright\"\/>however, where party loyalty is often at a premium.\u2019 There is also another AP story today (paraphrased): &#8216;Oh, no! Oh, no! When Burris goes, there goes the diversity! They\u2019re going to be an all-white club in the Senate again. There aren\u2019t going to be minority people. (crying) Oh, no, how can this be? They\u2019re 12% of the population and not one of them in the Senate is a minority.\u2019 Notice that the complaint is about skin color, not diversity of ideas! Typical of liberalism; typical of the State-Controlled Media. It\u2019s the surface that counts, not what these people think. Diversity, skin color? The Senate is somehow not representative of America because there aren\u2019t people of a certain skin color in there? What\u2019s Roland Burris doing for anybody now, anyway, other than being replaced? <\/p>\n<p>Senate Democrats, Harry Reid didn\u2019t want him, and I didn\u2019t hear the same AP accusing Harry Reid and the other Democrats of being racially motivated in not wanting Roland Burris in. Remember, they tried to portray this guy as a criminal, as an idiot, as any number of things. &#8216;Is Obama going to try to craft some room for himself in the center? If so, Brown might be something of an ally. If he wants to have a future in Massachusetts politics, Brown has to live up to being a New England Republican &#8212; fiscally conservative, socially moderate, independent-minded.\u2019 The only way, according to the State-Controlled AP &#8212; the only way &#8212; for Mr. Brown to get reelected is to become an ally of Obama. That is a death knell! I feel for the New Orleans Saints. You know, I\u2019m sentimentally pulling for the Saints but they\u2019re destined to lose because Obama\u2019s picked them. He\u2019s worse than Clinton. I mean, it\u2019s terrible. He should just shut up. He should not get into this. I\u2019m going to ask the Hutch what he thinks about this, \u2019cause the Hutch is black and he\u2019ll have a more objective analysis of Obama\u2019s prognostication abilities. <a xhtml:id=\"\/content\/home\/daily\/site_020510\/content\/01125109\" href=\"\/\/\/home\/daily\/site_020510\/content\/01125109.html\">That will be in the third hour of the program today.<\/a> What could be more clear from last week\u2019s elections that the only way Brown\u2019s going to get reelected is to join Obama. This is just so absurd. <\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Getting Scott Brown to move to the left seems to be a new mission of the State-Controlled Media. Reminiscent of their relentless effort to make George H.W. Bush do it after President Bush gave his &#8216;Read my lips: No new taxes\u2019 pledge. They kept urging him to break it. And I\u2019m going to make a prediction here that Scott Brown is gonna get browbeaten into following the media\u2019s bidding. I don\u2019t know how he\u2019s going to deal with it. I don\u2019t know how he\u2019s going to hold up under it, but I <emphasize>do <\/emphasize>predict that he\u2019s going to get browbeaten over it. <\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p><BR\/>RUSH: Well, it just keeps adding up here, folks. Patrick Kennedy, the son of the late Senator Edward Kennedy, has said that Scott Brown\u2019s election was &#8216;a joke\u2019 because Brown insisted on being sworn in early. It\u2019s just &#8216;a joke,\u2019 said Patrick Kennedy. Brown wanted to be sworn in early because he saw that the temporary replacement for Senator Kennedy, Paul Kirk, was still in there, casting one illegal vote after another. Soon as Brown was elected, Kirk\u2019s outta there. Can\u2019t cast any more votes. It\u2019s Massachusetts law, Senate law. He kept going, and they finally had to get Brown in there to hold up some radical communist heading up the National Labor Relations Board &#8212; which ticked off Pat Kennedy; he wanted a communist in there. <\/line><BR\/> <\/line><BR\/>Now, from Hillary Chabot, BostonHerald.com: &#8216;The Kennedy political dynasty is shaking in the aftershock of US Sen. Scott Brown\u2019s earth-shattering election, with a poll showing US Rep. Patrick Kennedy losing ground as he faces a well-financed [Republican candidate] backed by Brown\u2019s top strategists. The WPRI-12 poll showed the Rhode Island Democrat with a 56 percent unfavorability rating in his district &#8212; a negative that grows to 62% statewide.\u2019 Camelot is crumbling out there. There\u2019s only one surviving Kennedy brother, and that\u2019s Barack Obama. Patrick Kennedy is in trouble. Can you imagine if a Republican beat him in his district in Rhode Island? And looks like that could happen.<\/line><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: This is hilarious.
