RUSH: Dee Dee Myers was in Fairfield, Connecticut, last Wednesday night at Fairfield University. There was a forum there on the 2010 midterm elections. By the way, it\u2019s not looking good in that Senate race for Blumenthal. What\u2019s his first name? I can\u2019t remember his first… (interruption) Richard, yeah. Dick Blumenthal. Richard. (doing Dick Blumenthal impression) ‘I\u2019m proud of my service. I am proud of the time I spent in Vietnam. I\u2019m proud of my service.\u2019 I saw the guy over the weekend He looks like a skeleton with skin. You don\u2019t trust people like that. ‘I\u2019m prude of my service.\u2019 He\u2019s up nine points over Linda McMahon according to the latest polls and it\u2019s about the same in California with Moonbeam over Meg Whitman. <\/p>\n

So a lot of people are saying, ‘Well, Rush, how big is this victory going to be? If we can\u2019t beat the Democrats in this year in California, as far gone as California is, if we can\u2019t beat somebody like Jerry Brown…\u2019 Those two races are not the test. Those two races are not the test and yet they\u2019re the ones, if you read the news today, those are the two races that are being highlighted by the media as evidence here that this Republican landslide, this onslaught is not going to be exactly what it is shaking out to be. So they\u2019re running conflicting stories, all designed to get you spinning and depressed and calling here and saying, ‘Rush, why are the Republicans doing this?\u2019 and they\u2019re setting up a big story next Wednesday about how: ‘Wow, you know what? The Republicans, yeah, they won, but not nearly, not nearly like everybody thought. The Tea Party, ho-hum. <\/p>\n

‘They\u2019re not that big a deal.\u2019 They don\u2019t have any substance. All they\u2019ve got is mind games and they\u2019re in the midst of playing… Anyway, Dee Dee Myers, former Clinton White House press secretary, I mean these people, for some reason, no matter where they go they have me on the brain. I live rent free in their heads. When was the last time we mentioned Dee Dee Myers on this program? I don\u2019t know. It\u2019s been years since we mentioned Dee Dee Myers on this program. I might have played an audio sound bite of Dee Dee Myers in the past six months or so but I don\u2019t even remember that. So why in the world am I on Dee Dee Myers\u2019 mind in Fairfield, Connecticut, at a forum on the 2010 midterm elections?<\/p>\n

MYERS: I was reminded of a story about one of my favorite Washington characters, Rush Limbaugh. Yeah, I love Rush. Um…<\/p>\n

AUDIENCE: (cackling)<\/p>\n

MYERS: It seems that Rush was visiting Washington not too long ago, and he was out jogging along the Potomac River, because he is obviously a fitness buff and — <\/p>\n

AUDIENCE: (cackling)<\/p>\n

MYERS: He was going along, and he came on these three girls who were riding their bikes, and they recognized him, and they waved, and he was very flattered that these young girls recognized him, and he waved back and somehow became very distracted by all this, and he slipped, and he fell into the river. Not to worry. The girls saw the whole thing, and they raced over on their bikes, and they pulled Rush out of the river, and they revived him. And he was so grateful, he said, ‘Girls, what can I do to repay you? I\u2019m so grateful for your having saved me.\u2019 And one of the girls looked at him and she said, ‘Mr. Limbaugh,\u2019 she said, ‘I know this is a tall order, but you\u2019re a powerful man.\u2019 He said, ‘What is it?\u2019 ‘She said, ‘I\u2019d like to be buried at Arlington National Cemetery.\u2019 And he said, ‘You can\u2019t be more than ten years old. Why on earth are you thinking about where you want to be buried?\u2019 She said, ‘When I get home and tell my mom who I just saved…\u2019 <\/p>\n

AUDIENCE: (laughter)<\/p>\n

RUSH: Now, we haven\u2019t talked about Dee Dee Myers since her last DUI and I don\u2019t remember when that was. All I remember was her husband had to go get her out of jail. But it\u2019s been a long time.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: By the way, you know, Dee Dee Myers\u2019 joke: I\u2019m not a Washington character, and I have no say so over who gets buried in Arlington National Cemetery. Dee Dee Myers ought to know who specializes in getting people buried at Arlington National Cemetery would be Bill Clinton, especially if the price was right. Well, Snerdley, remember all the stories, you paid up, you got a burial plot at Arlington National Cemetery? And that\u2019s right, I am Rush Limbaugh doing more for Hillary 2012 than she could do for herself in a lifetime. Reverse Operation Chaos. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Here\u2019s John in Mishawaka, Indiana. Great to have you on EIB Network, and welcome.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hey, Rush, I just thought I\u2019d give you a call and let you know that the joke with, you know, buried in Arlington cemetery is not even an original joke. It was originally put out right after the election after Obama won, and it was Obama that actually fell in the river, and three boys rescued him. And basically along the same lines. She shortened it up. He gave the first two boys some stuff, and the third kid asked for a wheelchair because when his dad finds out, he\u2019s gonna put him in a wheelchair.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah.<\/p>\n

CALLER: So it wasn\u2019t even an original joke on her part.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, not surprised.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Nor am I. But I just thought I\u2019d let you know. As soon as she started telling the joke you were airing it, I was like, ‘She couldn\u2019t even come up with something on her own.\u2019 <\/p>\n

RUSH: Now, am I on the ballot in Connecticut?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Connecticut?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah, am I on the ballot there? Is there a reason —<\/p>\n

CALLER: I don\u2019t know, are you running there?<\/p>\n

RUSH: I don\u2019t even live there, no —<\/p>\n

CALLER: But, yeah, you know, they gotta attack somebody. Since you\u2019re the leading voice of the conservatives —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, you know, here\u2019s the thing. You go back, I mean the first leadership meeting that Obama had with the congressional leadership after he was immaculated, John Boehner is in there and Mitch McConnell, and Obama says to these guys, ‘Now, look, you gotta stop listening to Rush Limbaugh. That\u2019s not how things get done in Washington.\u2019 That was their first attempt to demonize me as the titular head of the Republican Party. Now, I should, could, and will say to Mitch McConnell and John Boehner and any other Republican inside the Beltway, ‘Don\u2019t listen to President Obama. That\u2019s not how things should get done in Washington.\u2019<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
