We have got to figure out how we get to a point where we can be sitting around a table and talking about these difficult problems and advancing some solutions.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: There you have it. Lisa Murkowski ran as a write-in candidate in Alaska with an absolute insane comment. Insane is not even the word. I would trade Lisa Murkowski to the Democrats for Heath Shuler in a moment, and we\u2019d be gaining a couple IQ points. It\u2019s hard to believe, but we would be gaining a couple IQ points in that trade. I\u2019d give the Democrats Lisa Murkowski today for Heath Shuler, and I don\u2019t even want a draft choice in the next draft, straight-up deal. What a ludicrous thing to say. &#8216;I will tell you, I am not one of those who wants Obama to fail. If he does well that means the country is doing well.\u2019 Lisa, he is doing well. He is succeeding at what he wanted to do. He got his Obamacare. This is silly to keep reliving. We are surrounded by &#8212; I don\u2019t know what this is, a lack of knowledge? Is this ignorance? Is it pipe dream Miss America type hopeful &#8212; what is this? It certainly isn\u2019t intellectual curiosity. This isn\u2019t even intellectual. Lisa Murkowski, &#8216;We can\u2019t spend our time as a nation blocking\u2019? We damn well better or there won\u2019t be a nation. What the hell was this election, Ms. Murkowski, if it wasn\u2019t blocking? Holy smokes. <\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Sarah Palin\u2019s Alaska, the documentary show she\u2019s doing for The Learning Channel, TLC, has beat the TLC ratings record. Highest rated show on the network, five million total viewers tuned into the premiere of Palin\u2019s series. Now, that is more viewers than any cable news network program, outside of special events. That\u2019s huge. And I\u2019m gonna tell you, people are gonna hate her even more after this. People that don\u2019t like her are gonna hate her even more. I mean this is a huge number for The Learning Channel, five million people. I don\u2019t care what cable news program you talk about, that\u2019s larger. And of course Lisa Murkowski last night on the CBS Evening News with the perky one, Katie Couric, Katie Couric said, &#8216;You\u2019ve said that you would not support Sarah Palin for president because she\u2019s not worldly enough.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>MURKOWSKI: I just do not think that she has those leadership qualities, that intellectual curiosity that allows for building good and great policies. She was my governor for two years, and I don\u2019t think that she enjoyed governing.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Well, I tell you, Sarah Palin has the intellectual curiosity to figure out that Obama is destroying the country and has to be stopped, which makes her more intelligent than Lisa Murkowski. But we didn\u2019t even need to know that to know that Palin is sharper than Lisa Murkowski. I mean here, grab sound bite number six. If there\u2019s any doubt, you do an A-B, side-by-side comparison, take anything Palin said and compare it to this.<\/p>\n<p>MURKOWSKI: I will tell you, I am not one of those who wants Obama to fail. If he does well that means the country is doing well. We don\u2019t have time as a nation to spend all of what we do blocking. We have got to figure out how we get to a point where we can be sitting around a table and talking about these difficult problems and advancing some solutions.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Yeah, how about that intellectual curiosity that led to that point of view. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Lisa Murkowski said that Sarah Palin does not have the intellectual curiosity to be president.
