Yesterday on NPR\u2019s Fresh Air, here is a portion of linguist Geoff Nunberg\u2019s report about his annual word of the year. This guy I guess does a special report on NPR at the end of the year on the annual word of the year, and, according to this guy at NPR, this year\u2019s word is &#8216;no.\u2019<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/01125107.Par.89380.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" class=\"alignright\"\/>NUNBERG: After some early defensiveness, a lot of Republicans embrace the label, and even ratcheted it up a notch. &#8216;We\u2019re not just the party of &#8216;no,&#8221; Rush Limbaugh said, &#8216;we\u2019re the party of &#8216;hell, no,&#8221; and Republican leaders quickly adopted the line. That extra word shifted the meaning of the phrase. It no longer suggested just opposition to particular bills and programs, but unapologetic and resolute defiance. That stance clearly resonated with a lot of voters.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Does that not just sound like an NPR report, to do an in-depth report on the word of the year, &#8216;no.\u2019 And then last night on Fox News Channel Special Report during the all-star panel, the host, Bret Baier, spoke with the associate editor of The Hill, A. B. Stoddard. It\u2019s weird when women call themselves by their first two initials. You know, that\u2019s generally for fat cat business guys or pseudo-intellectual writers. She calls herself A. B. Stoddard. Her first name is Amy [sic]. But the A. B. business is obviously marketing to stand out. Anyway, she was talking about the tax rate compromise and me, and Baier said, &#8216;So blow it up, let the tax increase happen on January 1st?\u2019<\/p>\n<p>STODDARD: I\u2019m fascinated that when you have Congressman Paul Ryan, Newt Gingrich, Bill Kristol, Grover Norquist, the entire Republican leadership up against Rush Limbaugh, Sarah Palin, Mitt Romney, the question of who is more conservative on this is making the leaders nervous.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: What should make Republican leaders nervous is going against what the people voted for in November. This is not about personalities. &#8216;You have Congressman Paul Ryan, Newt Gingrich, Bill Kristol, Grover Norquist, the entire Republican leadership up against &#8211;&#8216; wait a minute, I thought I was the Republican leadership because NPR just said that I said &#8216;hell, no\u2019 and the Republican Party fell in line. Now, A. B. Stoddard says that I\u2019m not in the leadership, that it\u2019s Paul Ryan, Newt Gingrich, Bill Kristol, Grover Norquist up against me, Sarah Palin, and Mitt Romney. <\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: By the way, a minor correction. I had a little case of verbal dyslexia. A. B. Stoddard\u2019s first name not Amy, it\u2019s Alexandra. She is the daughter of Brandon Stoddard. Longtime inside media people recognize Brandon Stoddard who was a big ABC executive. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Let\u2019s go to the audio sound bites, ladies and gentlemen.
