In fact, they\u2019re already there going through orientation, some of them. This morning on MSNBC, The Politico executive editor Jim VandeHei appeared, and the host, Joe Scarborough, said, &#8216;Jim, what would be your one big, overarching piece of advice to new members of Congress?\u2019 Now, as you remember, I once spoke to the freshman class of 1994 during their orientation, and it was in late November of 1993. It was at Camden Yard. And I remember when I told \u2019em. I said, &#8216;The biggest thing you\u2019ve gotta know is the media in this town does not want you here. The media in this town is not happy you won. The media in this town is not gonna want to take you to lunch, to figure out what you care about, how to advance your agenda. They\u2019re gonna figure out how they can ruin you. They\u2019re going to get to know you so they can figure out how they can do you harm. They don\u2019t like you here.\u2019 That was my advice. Joe Scarborough today asked The Politico exec editor, Jim VandeHei, &#8216;What\u2019s your one big overarching piece of advice to new members of Congress?\u2019<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/01125113.Par.89380.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"350\" height=\"352\" class=\"alignright\"\/>VANDEHEI: I\u2019ve covered the Hill for about 16 years, and amazing the effect that this place has on especially men, men who come to Washington who are away from their families and the behavior that you see at night as a type of behavior you often saw from our friends in college. Especially unattractive members of Congress who have not had women show attention to them maybe since college, they come here, power is an aphrodisiac, suddenly they have women who are interested in them. It\u2019s a temptation that some just can\u2019t withstand.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: The executive editor of Politico, Jim VandeHei, is warning ugly Republicans: be on the lookout because women will still hit on you, doesn\u2019t matter if you\u2019re ugly or not. Men come to Washington, away from their families, the behavior you see at night, they act like it\u2019s Animal House, especially unattractive members of Congress, especially the ugly guys. They\u2019ve not had women show attention to them maybe since college, but they come here, and power is an aphrodisiac. And suddenly they have women who are interested in them. It\u2019s a temptation that some just can\u2019t withstand. Now, can I ask you, when is the last time we ever heard any reference to any of this kind of activity going on in Washington, DC? Did they ever tell us about the Chris Dodd, Ted Kennedy waitress sandwiches? What is this? What about great looking conservative women, what happens to them when they show up? Are men gonna start paying attention to them when they\u2019re away from their families, what do they do? Does this mean that Politico is gonna be on the lookout, particularly for ugly Republican freshmen, and if you get hit on by women and if you make time with them, is Politico gonna rat you out? Especially you ugly Republicans? It\u2019s what he said.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: I\u2019ve always said that politics is show biz for the ugly. I say that every year at the White House Correspondents Dinner when I watch it on TV. I don\u2019t go there. It\u2019s kind of like the warnings they used to give spies, intelligent agents, &#8216;Don\u2019t get seduced by the good-looking foreign spies over there in Russia, the Svetlana\u2019s and all that, just stay away from \u2019em.\u2019 Of all the things, of all the pieces of advice: &#8216;You ugly freshmen, look out for women showering you with attention, \u2019cause it isn\u2019t real, it\u2019s only because you have some power.\u2019 Fascinating. <\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: So, I checked the e-mail during the spot break: &#8216;Rush, come on. How do you know that VandeHei is talking about Republicans? He\u2019s talking about incoming freshmen. How do you know he\u2019s talking about only ugly Republicans?\u2019 Well, how many incoming Democrats are there? Maybe four? There four Democrat freshmen? I guarantee you VandeHei is not concerned about them. He\u2019s happy they\u2019re there. Let me go at it another way. At one time Henry Waxman was a freshman. Do we really think somebody hit on him? At one time Jerrold Nadler was a freshman. At one time Alan Grayson was a freshman. Do we really think women hit on them? I mean, folks, the fact that these incoming freshmen are Republicans is why this so-called helpful-hint warning has &#8212; (laughing).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Okay, the freshmen Republicans, the Tea Party people and the freshmen Republicans are soon to descend on Washington.
