RUSH: Folks, anger at your host knows no bounds opposite last night on the syndicated TV show Inside Edition, here is a portion of a report by the anchor Deborah Norville.<\/p>\n

NORVILLE: Radio talker Rush Limbaugh has a new target: A new mom. Specifically, Nicole Kidman. Rush is blasting her, saying that the way she announced her new baby sounds like a disease.<\/p>\n

RUSH ARCHIVE: ‘Gestational carrier.\u2019 Almost sounds like a disease.<\/p>\n

MALE ANNOUNCER: Rush Limbaugh\u2019s lashing out at a surprising target: Nicole Kidman, whose secret baby is the talk of Hollywood. The conservative radio host took aim at the term ‘gestational carrier,\u2019 which the 43-year-old actress and husband Keith Urban used in revealing that a surrogate had carried their biological child.<\/p>\n

RUSH ARCHIVE: ‘Gestational carrier.\u2019 Almost sounds like a disease. And to some women, pregnancy is a disease. I mean the feminazis, of course.<\/p>\n

MALE ANNOUNCER: Limbaugh didn\u2019t stop there…<\/p>\n

RUSH ARCHIVE: I don\u2019t know if it was a medical reason for this. Maybe she just didn\u2019t want to bother with getting pregnant again, I don\u2019t know.<\/p>\n

MALE ANNOUNCER: Blogger ‘Perez Hilton\u2019 says, ‘Ugh. Rush Limbaugh, leave Nicole Kidman alone.\u2019<\/p>\n

RUSH: Now, did any of you people listening to this yesterday (laughing) say, ‘Leave her alone, Rush! Leave her alone! She\u2019s a good actress!\u2019 Blasting Nicole Kidman? Did any of you listening to me think that? Most of you probably thought, ‘Would you stick to the issues? We don\u2019t care about the Hollywood crowd!\u2019 Blasting Nicole Kidman? ‘A new target\u2019? Nicole Kidman is not a ‘target;\u2019 I wasn\u2019t blasting. I\u2019ve never heard the term ‘gestational carrier.\u2019 (interruption) How do you say ‘gestational carrier\u2019 in Chinese? (laughing) I don\u2019t know. I was just kidding Kidman. Are these people…? They get a whole report out of this: ‘Rush Limbaugh lashing out at a surprising target: Nicole Kidman! Secret baby the talk of Hollywood. Took aim at the term ‘gestational carrier.\u2019 Limbaugh didn\u2019t stop there!\u2019 <\/p>\n

For you people… Who did this? An unidentified male announcer. Whoever. You people at Inside Edition, you need to get with the program. The feminazis have said pregnancy is a ‘disease,\u2019 as they have argued for abortion. It\u2019s hopeless. It\u2019s just totally hopeless. Let\u2019s move on to something else. Yeah, hey. They just can\u2019t take a little jesting. I was jesting them about their ‘gestational carrier\u2019 phrase, and they can\u2019t take it. It\u2019s amazing how tightly wound all of these people are. Hollywood types, I suppose, are immune from criticism, or more than likely what this is all about is that Inside Hollywood… Is that the name of the show again? Was it Inside Hollywood? Inside Edition. They\u2019re simply trying to score points with Kidman and Urban here is what this was all about. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: To Sacramento, my adopted hometown. This is Judy. Great to have you. Welcome.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hi.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Hi. How are you?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes, Rush, I\u2019ve been listening to you I think for 25 years, and you didn\u2019t really change my mind, I just listened to you and I said, ‘This guy thinks the way I do, who is he?\u2019<\/p>\n

RUSH: Right. I came along and validated what you already think.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah. But when I turned on this morning you were defending yourself against something in Hollywood and I thought, ‘I wouldn\u2019t give those guys the time of day.\u2019<\/p>\n

RUSH: Is that what you thought?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes.<\/p>\n

RUSH: That I was defending myself?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, that\u2019s what it kind of sounded like.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Sorry it came across that way. I was illustrating I\u2019m having a ball with this. I think this is ridiculously funny.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, yeah, because I wouldn\u2019t even mention their names. You have spoken out for years when nobody else would.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Look, I am happy to promote, publicize, and amplify stupidity and idiocy on the left. I\u2019m happy to do it.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah, well, you\u2019re appreciated. And this president has so many fires going that I don\u2019t see how the Republicans can do anything in two years. But if they can put a Republican president in there, this guy has so much going on that people don\u2019t know where to turn.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, I understand what you mean. Elections have consequences. He is the big dog in the battle, he\u2019s the president, and the effort is on to stop him. That\u2019s the first thing that has to happen. The repeal effort, I\u2019m gonna tell you, there\u2019s much more in this than people realize. There\u2019s much, much more in this repeal effort than people realize. It\u2019s much stronger. The very fact that Harry Reid will not allow a vote on this is quite telling. We\u2019ve got some principled people running the opposition here, and it\u2019s a sizeable opposition majority in the House of Representatives. So Obama is gonna have to resort to extraconstitutional means to get his agenda advanced, which he\u2019s planning on doing. A lot of executive orders, a lot of bypassing of legislative branch and make no mistake, he\u2019ll do that. But it will be on display for everybody to see. Judy, thanks for the call. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
