Folks, I gotta tell you something here. The Washington Post, somebody, is calling this a tie. If it was a tie, then the floor was mopped with Harry Reid. She really did mop the floor with Harry Reid. I\u2019m gonna tell you something, the Senate majority leader, number two, maybe number three most powerful Democrat in Washington, Harry Reid has presided and helped to preside over the worst economy since the Great Depression. He\u2019s presided over a runaway deficit, the beginning of the end of the private health insurance, the beginning of the end of private health care. We just had the new deficit numbers come out. It\u2019s going to be busting the north side of a trillion dollars again, which we all knew. Dingy Harry said the surge in Iraq was a failure, and &#8216;this war is lost.\u2019 If Harry Reid, a lifer in government, a lifer at the top of the Democrat Party, if Harry Reid, practically from Jurassic Park in politics, if he cannot verbally trounce Sharron Angle in a debate, if he cannot make a convincing case as to how his and Pelosi\u2019s and Obama\u2019s agenda has made us better off than we were two, four, six years ago, there\u2019s absolutely no reason to reelect him. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/01125106.Par.89380.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" class=\"alignright\"\/>In five years they can\u2019t run on one single thing they\u2019ve done. Not just in the 18, 20 months of Obama, but since 2007 they have been in charge of the purse strings. They\u2019ve been running the show, them and their media buddies. If they can\u2019t tell us, if they can\u2019t brag about their achievements, if they have to run from their achievements, if they gotta hide from \u2019em, there\u2019s absolutely no reason to reelect Reid or any of them, none, zilch, zero, nada. This debate last night should have been a mismatch. Nothing against Sharron Angle, but she is not a professional, by design. Harry Reid\u2019s got all the aid, he\u2019s got all the money, he\u2019s got all the marketing assistance, he\u2019s got all the political packages, he\u2019s got all the help. Compared to the professional politician that is Dingy Harry, on paper, undisputed heavyweight champion of the world, Angle was a featherweight climbing into the political ring for the first time, and the reality is that she knocked Harry Reid out cold in the arena of ideas. <\/p>\n<p>It wasn\u2019t even a fair fight, and this is happening throughout. Christine O\u2019Donnell ditto in Delaware, I don\u2019t care what anybody says. The women of the Republican Party are fed up. These women in the Tea Party, they\u2019re fed up with the way this system is going and the way the system has been run. She asked Dingy Harry a question. We\u2019re gonna get to these sound bites. (paraphrasing) &#8216;How did you get so rich? How did this happen? You go to Washington with nothing. How do you end up so rich?\u2019 And Dingy Harry, (paraphrasing) &#8216;I was a lawyer and I\u2019ve lived on a fixed income because I\u2019ve invested wisely.\u2019 He has to live on a fixed income. This is Dingy Harry tugging at our heartstrings. Never mind he gets to vote whenever he wants to on how high that fixed income is. And he never did answer the question, &#8216;How did you get so rich?\u2019 The most powerful legislator in the land, Harry Reid, called an unemployed grandmother a tool of the special interests. Now, how in the name of Sam Hill &#8212; and there was a Sam Hill &#8212; can anybody make that charge with any credibility whatsoever? She is essentially an unemployed grandmother. She\u2019s just us. She is us. She is a tool of the special interests. Yeah, I guess she\u2019s a puppet of her grandchildren. It makes her probably anti-broccoli because the kids, the special interests in her life don\u2019t like broccoli. <\/p>\n<p>What are we talking about here? The ruling class, the political elite, the machine is being undressed before our very eyes when we have a Tea Party candidate going up against an established ruling class machine politician. It\u2019s actually nice to see. You notice that nobody called Dingy Harry the W-word, nobody called him a whore, in a state where it\u2019s legal! Nobody called him a whore. She coulda gotten away with it because they are in a state where it is legal, and judging from Harry Reid\u2019s career, whoring seems to be expected. Yet the word didn\u2019t come up.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Even in the New Republic, a liberal journal of opinion propaganda, there\u2019s a story by T.A. Frank, who works for Washington Monthly. &#8216;Reid My Lips,\u2019 the headline, &#8216;Last Night Was a Disaster.\u2019 Now, the point of this piece is that Dingy Harry allowed Sharron Angle to look reasonable enough to the author, to this Democrat, and gave incoherent answers on his own behalf. Imagine that. Imagine that! A writer for Washington Monthly, the New Republic, said Reid screwed up because he allowed Sharron Angle to look reasonable enough. The Democrats cannot win diddly-squat this election. The only thing that they\u2019re having any success at (and this is with the aid and assistance of the State-Controlled Media) is to make some Republicans look like kooks, nutcases. It is how they\u2019re attempting to portray everybody in the Tea Party movement. <\/p>\n<p>Carl Paladino, Christine O\u2019Donnell, Sharron Angle. <\/p>\n<p>She\u2019s us. The kook is Harry Reid. The oddball is Harry Reid. The extremist is Harry Reid. The guy destroying the country and the private sector along with Obama is Harry Reid. Sharron Angle never did anything to anybody. Harry Reid is not reasonable. Anyone who would support policies and vote for them as Harry Reid has is unreasonable, is profoundly extremist. Spending money the country doesn\u2019t have; printing money the country doesn\u2019t have, placing future generations in debt they\u2019ll never be able to get out of. Destroying, essentially, the generation of wealth and the way it happens in this country. Confiscating it, redistributing it. Harry Reid. <\/p>\n<p>I mean, let\u2019s be honest. Who\u2019s extreme here? Who\u2019s odd? I\u2019ve always thought Harry Reid was a bit of an oddball. And he screwed up last night because he &#8216;allowed\u2019 Sharron Angle to &#8216;look reasonable\u2019? Of course the presumption going is she\u2019s not reasonable. Why is she not reasonable? Because she\u2019s not a member of the ruling class, because she\u2019s not a member of the professional political ranks. Can you imagine somebody on our side writing a story, &#8216;You know, I didn\u2019t like what Sharron Angle did. She let Harry Reid seem reasonable.\u2019 Let\u2019s go to the audio sound bites. Last night in Las Vegas Dingy Harry and Sharron Angle. Dingy Harry said this about insurance companies and health care reform&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/01125106.Par.4584.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"340\" height=\"270\" class=\"alignright\"\/>REID: Insurance companies don\u2019t do things out of the goodness of their hearts. They do it out of a profit motive and they have almost destroyed our economy. We need them to be forced to do mammograms. That\u2019s why you see Breast Cancer Awareness Month, you see the baseball players wearing pink shoes and you see the football players having pink, uhhh, helmets. You detected it if you do mammograms. Colonoscopies! If you do colonoscopies, colon cancer does not come \u2019cause you snip off the things they find when they go up, and no more. And we need to have &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: What in the world is this?<\/p>\n<p>REID: &#8212; have insurance companies do this. It will save money in the long run to do this.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Profound incoherence! You hear him describe a colonoscopy here. &#8216;Colonoscopies! If you do colonoscopies, colon cancer does not come \u2019cause you snip off the things they find when they go up, and no more.\u2019 This is the reasonable intelligence of Harry Reid. &#8216;Insurance companies have destroyed our economy\u2019 and they say Sharron Angle is the kook? &#8216;Insurance companies don\u2019t do things out of the goodness of their hearts. They do it out of a profit motive and they have almost destroyed our economy\u2019? Right. Who is it that\u2019s targeting insurance companies, in fact the entire industry? You just heard it. It\u2019s Harry Reid, the Democrat Party, anything in the private sector. The US health care system, insurance system is among the best in the world, and these people have set out to destroy it. <\/p>\n<p><BR\/>In fact, they have. And, by the way, Dingy Harry, I don\u2019t know what the hell you\u2019re looking at, but so far there has not been one &#8216;pink helmet\u2019 during the month of October in the National Football League; and I don\u2019t think anybody in the NCAA is wearing pink helmets. Now, this is Harry Reid. It\u2019s just unbelievable. He\u2019s an absolute idiot. And women, I\u2019ll tell you. In general, there\u2019s something going on. There\u2019s something in the air. Women in general, regardless of politics, are sick and tired of all this wimpy old men that have been running the show of late, running it everywhere but in a good direction. A positive action is not being seen. They\u2019re running the country into the ground, and women are fed up with it. And Harry Reid has been the forefront. Here is Sharron Angle during a back-and-forth on Social Security.<\/line><BR\/> <\/line><BR\/> ANGLE: Man up, Harry Reid! You need to understand that we have a problem with Social Security. That problem was created because of government taking that money out of the Social Security trust fund. What we need to do is keep our promises to our senior citizens by putting the money back in the trust fund and, going forward, allowing our workers to have the option of a personalized Social Security retirement plan that becomes an asset to them, just like your Thrift Savings Plan is an asset to you. If it\u2019s good enough for you, it should be good enough for the rest of us.<\/line><BR\/> <\/line><BR\/> RUSH: And Dingy Harry had seen response standing by&#8230;<\/line><BR\/> <\/line><BR\/> REID: Mitch, these ideas of my opponent are really extreme. I said CBO. The actuarial said there\u2019s plenty of money in that trust fund account. During the Clinton years we did not use the trust fund monies to offset the deficit. We were strengthening Social Security by not using it to offset the deficit. Her facts are absolutely wrong.<\/line><BR\/> <\/line><BR\/> RUSH: &#8216;Mitch, these ideas of my opponent are really extreme.\u2019 The extreme ideas are coming from the White House and the Democrat Party, and they are clearly not pro-American ideas, not in the general sense as they\u2019re understood. And for anybody to try to tell us that Social Security is in good shape? There\u2019s nothing in good shape. There\u2019s nothing that\u2019s showing a positive on the balance sheet! There\u2019s nothing in the black. There is no &#8216;trust fund.\u2019 The Social Security, whatever it is, budget, has been used to offset budget deficits for decades. It is Harry Reid who is extreme and was a stranger to the truth throughout that debate last night.<\/line><\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Let me go back and I want to play this most recent excoriation of insurance companies by Harry Reid one more time and rebut this thing fully. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/01125106.Par.90644.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"340\" height=\"205\" class=\"alignright\"\/>REID: Insurance companies don\u2019t do things out of the goodness of their hearts.

And we need to have &#8212; have insurance companies do this. It will save money in the long run to do this.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Now, that\u2019s Dingy Harry on insurance companies. Here he is on Social Security one more time. <\/p>\n<p>REID: Mitch, these ideas of my opponent are really extreme. I said CBO. The actuarial said there\u2019s plenty of money in that trust fund account. During the Clinton years we did not use the trust fund monies to offset the deficit. We were strengthening Social Security by not using it to offset the deficit. Her facts are absolutely wrong.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: All that\u2019s talking points. All of that is gobbledygook. All of that is lies. In the first place, insurance companies have the lowest profit margin of just about any industry, and they\u2019re on the brink of being put out of business by people like Harry Reid, as is almost every other industry. The oil industry is a target of people like Harry Reid. Corporations? Evil, corporations! Anything that\u2019s in the private sector that turns a profit, by definition in these people\u2019s perverted world, is evil. And they say that Sharron Angle is the kook? Now, they just announced back in May that Social Security is going to be in the red this year, six years earlier than thought &#8212; and &#8216;in the red\u2019 means Social Security is going to be paying out more than it takes in for the first time in history. <\/p>\n<p>And that is all from the same Congressional Budget Office that Dingy Harry was just citing as the source of all of his lies, and if you want I could give you the link from the New York Times for these details. &#8216;Social Security to See Payout Exceed Pay-in This Year.\u2019 Where are all these so-called fact checkers in the media? I haven\u2019t seen one fact check on this debate. I haven\u2019t seen one fact check of anything that Harry Reid happened to say. Let\u2019s move on now to Sharron Angle accusing Dingy Harry of saying, &#8216;This war is lost.\u2019 The moderator, Vegas PBS\u2019 Mitch Fox, says, &#8216;You\u2019re quoted as saying the following: &#8216;The war is lost. The surge is not accomplishing anything, as indicated by this extreme violence,\u2019 end quote. Do you believe that your statement demoralized the troops and were inaccurate as judged by the success of the troop surge?\u2019<\/p>\n<p>REID: The statement that I made was made following General Petraeus saying the war cannot be won militarily. He said and I said the war could only be won militarily, economically, and diplomatically. That\u2019s why after I made my statement and General Petraeus made his statements, we did the surge then, not later. And it was the right thing to do. General Petraeus has done a good job. He\u2019s my friend.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Once again, chocked full of lies. Harry Reid said, &#8216;This war is lost.\u2019 The dirty little secret &#8212; and it\u2019s not even a secret any longer. The fact of the matter is that Harry Reid and the Democrat Party were trying to secure defeat in Iraq for two years. They wanted to saddle George W. Bush and the Republican Party with defeat. They sought it. They were demoralizing the US military, on purpose. It was the first time in my life that a political party had sided against the United States in a military conflict, all for the purpose of political advancement. Now, he can try to revise history all he wants, he can try to lie through his teeth, but we all remember. He did say, &#8216;This war is lost.\u2019 He was not polite to General Petraeus.<\/p>\n<p>He led the movement in the Democrat Party in the Senate to try to make sure that public support for the war in Iraq crumbled. Not only that, Dingy Harry and his cronies were trying to convince you we were in a recession when unemployment was a mere 4.7%. In the midst of a boom, roaring economy, Harry Reid, the Democrat Party wanted you to believe that we were in a recession; that the Bush tax cuts had caused all kinds of economic stagnation and misery. Here\u2019s the totality of what Dingy Harry said: &#8216;I believe myself that the secretary of state, secretary of defense and &#8212; you have to make your own decisions as to what the president knows &#8212; this war is lost and the surge is not accomplishing anything as indicated by the extreme violence in Iraq yesterday.\u2019 <\/p>\n<p>And so Dingy Harry says now, &#8216;The statement that I made was made following General Petraeus saying the war cannot be won militarily. He said and I said at war could only be won militarily, economically, and diplomatically.\u2019 So he\u2019s trying to twist this around and say he was the one who ended up advising Petraeus on how to win this &#8212; and they call Sharron Angle the kook? You know, in common, ordinary parlance, the way normal people talk, Harry Reid is a liar. It\u2019s normal complicated than that. He\u2019s a shameless little man. He\u2019s a liar. I have my own personal experiences with him to document it: The &#8216;phony soldier\u2019 routine. There\u2019s no question in my mind, and anybody else who\u2019s reasonable, who poses a tremendous threat to this country\u2019s future in terms of recovering from this economic disaster. With people like Harry Reid in the Senate, in charge of the Democrat Party, progress will be retarded and stagnant and perhaps never take place by design. Now, Sharron Angle was listening to Harry Reid go on and on about how he finally ended up working with Petraeus. He and Petraeus &#8212; his good friend, by the way &#8212; came up with a plan. Sharron Angle said&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/01125106.Par.57694.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"241\" height=\"340\" class=\"alignright\"\/>ANGLE: We need to support our military with all of our resources. Not only our military and service right now, but those veterans and their families as well. When you said, &#8216;This war is lost,\u2019 and said that General Petraeus was dishonest, that emboldened our enemies, demoralized our troops, and endangered them, and you need to apologize to them, Senator.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Right on, right on, right on. No nonsense. And here\u2019s what Dingy Harry said in reply&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>REID: I\u2019ve been endorsed by the largest military organization in the country, the Vet\u2019rans of Foreign Wars. My opponent&#8230; Listen to this idea! She wants to privatize the Vet\u2019rans Administration. Think about that, privatize the Vet\u2019rans Administration. I worked hard. I appreciate the work of our military and will continue to work with them the rest of my political career.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: What is wrong with privatizing the VA? What\u2019s wrong with privatizing the public sector? Ssomebody tell me where it\u2019s working. Somebody tell me where anything the federal government is running is working. It\u2019s like Christine O\u2019Donnell the other day. What in the world is wrong with local school boards determining curricula? What\u2019s wrong with this? What is extreme about it? He sits here, and he says, &#8216;Listen to this idea! She wants to privatize the VA. Think about that.\u2019 Yeah, we ought to think about that. Privatize the Veterans Administration. You\u2019re not doing a damn good job in charge of it, Harry. Nothing you\u2019re in charge of is working well except for you, and we can\u2019t even say that what you\u2019re in charge of for you is working well. <\/p>\n<p>You\u2019re about to get shellacked! Here is a guy and voting and governing against the will of the American people and he calls her extreme. I think Harry Reid loved &#8216;General Betray Us\u2019 so much that didn\u2019t he refused to denounce the MoveOn.org ad? I\u2019m not sure. We\u2019d have to look that up. But I never got the impression that Harry Reid and Petraeus were &#8216;friends.\u2019 When did that happen? When is the last time they got together for barbecue? Has Harry Reid heard the news from Europe? They are privatizing everything that they can in Europe because Harry Reid\u2019s way is leading to destruction. Everything\u2019s imploding. Imagine that. And then there was this. Sharron Angle wanted to know from Dingy Harry how he got so wealthy on a government payroll.<\/p>\n<p><BR\/>ANGLE: The tax cuts need to be made permanent. If they\u2019re not, we will experience the largest tax increase in the history of America &#8212; and with voting for over 300 tax increases, Senator, we can\u2019t trust you with our taxes. Not only that, you came from Searchlight to the Senate with very little. Now you\u2019re one of the richest men in the US Senate. On behalf of Nevada taxpayers, I\u2019d like to know &#8212; we\u2019d like to know &#8212; how did you become so wealthy on a government payroll?<\/line><BR\/> <\/line><BR\/><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/01125106.Par.0957.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"408\" height=\"723\" class=\"alignright\"\/>RUSH: Right on, right on, right on! Everybody would like to have this question answered because we know! We know what the answer is: Kickbacks, bribes, schemes, payoffs, insider deals. We all know what happens with these people, and she\u2019s right. He shows up from Searchlight, Nevada, and now he\u2019s a land baron? Land in California, land in Nevada? The LA Times has run an expose story on &#8212; what shall I say? &#8212; the curious arrangement and outcome of some of Dingy Harry\u2019s deals. That\u2019s just coincidence. Here is&#8230; You want to hear a flailing answer. The question is: &#8216;How did you become so wealthy on a government payroll?\u2019<\/line><BR\/> <\/line><BR\/> REID: That\u2019s really a kind of a low blow. I think most everyone knows I was a very successful lawyer.<\/line><BR\/> <\/line><BR\/> RUSH: I didn\u2019t.<\/line><BR\/> <\/line><BR\/> REID: I did a very good job in investing. I have been on a fixed income since I went to Washington.<\/line><BR\/> <\/line><BR\/> RUSH: What is that?<\/line><BR\/> <\/line><BR\/> REID: And lived off of what I made in the private sector. I put my five kids through a hundred semesters of school and I\u2019ve paid for every penny of it. So her suggestion that I made money being a Senator is simply false, and I\u2019m really disappointed that she would suggest that. I will further say: If she wants the tax cuts to be made permanent for everybody, we have a deficit problem to worry about also.<\/line><BR\/> <\/line><BR\/> RUSH: Had to get that talking point in, had to get that talking point that tax cuts lead to deficits. And I was right: Dingy Harry refused to vote to condemn the &#8216;Betray Us\u2019 ad. He refused to vote for it. He refused to vote to condemn an ad pummeling his &#8216;good friend,\u2019 General Petraeus. &#8216;I think most everybody knows I was a very successful lawyer.\u2019 I didn\u2019t know that, but that alone tells us something. &#8216;I did a very good job in investing.\u2019 Yeah, I\u2019m reminded of Hillary Clinton turning a thousand dollars into a hundred thousand dollars in cattle futures with the help of Robert &#8216;Red\u2019 Bone in Arkansas. Remember that? She said, &#8216;Yeah, I read the Wall Street Journal. That\u2019s where I learned about trading cattle futures.\u2019 Reid says, &#8216;I was a very successful lawyer. I did a very good job in investing. I have been on a fixed income since I went to Washington.\u2019<\/line><BR\/> <\/line><BR\/> What does he want us to believe with that? What he wants us to believe is hideous investments somewhere in a blind trust and he\u2019s living off whatever they produced and it\u2019s fixed, fixed income. Maybe he has tax-free municipal bonds, fixed income, but he\u2019s also paid a Senate salary. That\u2019s not a fixed income. Well, I wouldn\u2019t call it a fixed income. Maybe he does, but it isn\u2019t fixed. It has seen increases. He\u2019s got all kinds of perks as a United States Senator as well. &#8216;I put my five kids through a hundred semesters of school. I paid for every penny of it. The suggestion I made money being a Senator is simply false,\u2019 and yet we got Barney Frank running around (doing impression) &#8216;Yeah, I flew a\u2019wound pw\u2019ivate jet! What\u2019s w\u2019ong with having w\u2019ich fw\u2019iends? What\u2019s w\u2019ong with that? What\u2019s w\u2019ong with having w\u2019ich guys for fw\u2019iends? What\u2019s w\u2019ong with it?\u2019 Uh, up until now, rich guys have been criminals. Now when you have one as a friend, (impression) &#8216; What\u2019s w\u2019ong with that? I got on a p\u2019wivate p\u2019wane, go to the Virgin I\u2019wands. Why not go to the Virgin I\u2019wands?\u2019 Why not go to the Virgin I\u2019wands? What\u2019s w\u2019ong with having w\u2019ich guys for fw\u2019iends?\u2019 And then Harry Reid: &#8216;I don\u2019t have any rich friends. I\u2019m on a fixed income. I\u2019m barely getting by. My five shlub kids, I went broke putting \u2019em through school.\u2019 And Sharron Angle is the kook and is the extremist.<\/line><\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p><BR\/>RUSH: Harry Reid has been in politics since 1966. I\u2019m gonna try to find out between now and the start of the next hour, I\u2019m going to be busy here. While you all are enjoying messages from our fine sponsors, I\u2019m going to be finding out just when the hell it was that Harry Reid was a good lawyer. I\u2019m gonna look that up. He\u2019s been in politics since 1966. I want to find out when he had the time to be a good lawyer and where he was when he was a good lawyer and how much he was paid when he was a good lawyer. And my guess is&#8230; I\u2019ll reserve my guess. I\u2019ll save it for the facts. <\/line><BR\/>But in the meantime, while Dingy Harry is calling Sharron Angle a kook and a freak and extremist, May 1st, 2010, Wall Street Journal, and July 7th, 2010, the Washington Examiner, two stories on Big Pharma funneling piles of money into Harry Reid\u2019s Nevada campaign. No word of Big Insurance funneling big money into Harry Reid\u2019s campaign, but Big Drug is and did. <\/line><\/p>\n<p>From TheHill.com, June 29th of this year: &#8216;General Petraeus\u2019 Nomination Puts Some Democrats in Awkward Spot.\u2019 Why? Because Reid called Petraeus a liar when he said the surge was working. Harry Reid said that he and Petraeus were good friends, (imitating Reid) &#8216;We worked together to come up with a strategy that would work.\u2019 I got the story right here: &#8216;Reid told CNN in April of 2007 he did not believe Petraeus\u2019s claim that the surge was working in Iraq. &#8216;I don\u2019t believe him, because it\u2019s not happening,\u2019 Reid said. &#8216;All you have to do is look at the facts.&#8221; (imitating Reid) &#8216;This war is lost.\u2019 Harry Reid is a liar. He\u2019s a small man like Obama, liar, through his teeth, in a debate that he shoulda mopped the floor with last night \u2019cause he\u2019s up against a rank political amateur. He had his clock cleaned. It was about time. <\/p>\n<p>When we come back, folks, I\u2019m going to do the research. I\u2019m going to find out just when the hell he was a lawyer. In 1966 I was running the board at a radio station in Cape Girardeau in preparation for going to Texas to an electronics school to get my first-class radio license to get on the air in 1967, and I was also at two-a-day practices with the high school football team in August, that\u2019s what I was doing in 1966. Harry Reid was already in politics in 1966. I was 15 years old, but I\u2019m going to find out when the hell he was a good lawyer. I\u2019m gonna find out what he did as a good lawyer and he said people, remember, I was a good lawyer. Must mean he was paid a lot of money. We\u2019ll find out how much. So he\u2019s been living off of whatever he invested outta making money as a lawyer since 1966. It has to be huge, folks, it has to be huge.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: At a debate last night, Dingy Harry against Sharron Angle.
