Every single mem\u2019er who voted yesterday should be ashamed of themselves. People are suffering, they are hurting, they are in pain, they cannot make ends meet &#8212; and too many, just too many on the other side of the aisle turn a deaf ear! (shouting) I ask my Republican colleagues, &#8216;Can\u2019t you hear? Can\u2019t you feel? Can\u2019t you see? Where is your heart? Where is your compassion? Where is your concern? Extend unemployment benefit[s], and extend it now.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: John Lewis of Georgia, a Democrat member of the US House of Representatives. That\u2019s the sound of Obamaville. Obama was going to end all of this misery. Obama was gonna bring about a screeching halt to it. Where is the end of the misery? (interruption) No, Snerdley, don\u2019t do that. (laughing) Snerdley&#8230; (interruption) Snerdley, don\u2019t do this, because you\u2019re gonna cause me to start doing it, and if I do it, we are in deep doo-doo. Snerdley is impersonating John Lewis on the IFB, very effectively so. I can also impersonate John Lewis, effectively so, but if I do it, I\u2019m in deep doo-doo. All right, let\u2019s turn now to the Official Obama Criticizer. The Official Obama Criticizer, Bo Snerdley, with a reaction to the one-minute floor rant of Congressman John Lewis of Georgia.<\/p>\n<p>SNERDLEY: (doing John Lewis impression) Where is your heart? Where is your compa\u2019shun? We want everybody on unemployment from now until forever and ever. Where are your feelings? Where, where, where is your money? That money is ours, and we want to give that money &#8212; from Obama\u2019s stash, from my stash, from your stash &#8212; to my unemployed peoples. Where is your feelings. (end impression) Thank you.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: That\u2019s Official Obama Criticizer Bo Snerdley. Could I&#8230;? I heard during the Clarence Thomas hearings, I heard Congressman Lewis say something. I want to tell you in my voice what he said. Would you repeat it in his voice? He was equally passionate, energetic. He was in the well of the House, the floor of the House, and he said, &#8216;I have been beaten upside the head, but it doesn\u2019t mean that I\u2019m qualified to be on the Supreme Court.\u2019 Would you say that in John Lewis\u2019 voice? Three, two&#8230; Here\u2019s the Official Obama Criticizer, Bo Snerdley.<\/p>\n<p>SNERDLEY: (doing John Lewis impression) I have been beaten upside the head, but it doesn\u2019t mean that I am qualified to be on the Supreme Court.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: By gosh, you\u2019ve got it! That\u2019s exactly the way he said it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: For little comic relief before we get back to Kagan sound bites.
