RUSH: This afternoon in Louisville at the University of Louisville, Vice President Bite Me spoke about the Egyptian anti-government protests and President Mubarak stepping down. And Vice President Bite Me said he was not gonna talk about Egypt and then talked about Egypt for five minutes.<\/p>\n

BIDEN: I don\u2019t want to get ahead of him. That\u2019s not a good thing to do. (laughter) But all kidding aside, this is a pivotal moment in history. It\u2019s a pivotal moment in not only Middle East history but in history, I would argue. We have said from the beginning as an administration that this unrest, that the future of Egypt will be determined by the Egyptian people.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I just want to remind you, folks, we have a story from the New York Times today: ‘Iran Presses Opposition to Refrain From Rally.\u2019 The mullahs and Ahmadinejad are telling anti-government, pro-democratic protesters, ‘You better not show up. You better not do what they\u2019re doing in Egypt.\u2019 ‘Iran\u2019s authorities have increased pressure on the country\u2019s political opposition days before a rally proposed by opposition leaders in support of the popular uprisings in Tunisia and Egypt.\u2019 And Ahmadinejad said, ‘You better not do it.\u2019 Now, where will we come down? Where will our country be? Where will our media be? Will our media and our administration support an uprising in Iran against the mullahs there? Will Obama deliver a speech that begins, (imitating Obama) ‘People, blah, blah, blah, blah, Iran, blah, blah,\u2019 the reverb. What will Obama say to Mahmoud Ahmadinejad\u2019s opposition in Iran who want to hold a similar rally? Will there be a speech? If not, why not? I\u2019m just asking the questions. Here\u2019s Biden saying, ‘I don\u2019t want to get ahead here of this Egypt. I really don\u2019t want to say much about it.\u2019 Here he is continuing to talk about it.<\/p>\n

BIDEN: What the United States has said is what we\u2019ve stood for and we continue to stand for: a set of core principles. The first is that violence and intimidation against peaceful demonstrators is totally, thoroughly unacceptable.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Stop the tape. Except when our union people are hired to go beat up Tea Party protesters in St. Louis. And then we\u2019re all for violence and intimidation against peaceful demonstrators. If they\u2019re conservatives, if they\u2019re Tea Party people showing up at town hall meetings, we\u2019ll send our SEIU union tough guys out, and we\u2019re all for violence and intimidation.<\/p>\n

BIDEN: The universal rights of the Egyptian people must be respected and their aspirations must be met. And, thirdly, that the transition — the transition is taking place must be an irreversible change and a negotiated path toward democracy.<\/p>\n

RUSH: This is Vice President Bite Me in Louisville this afternoon. One more bite.<\/p>\n

BIDEN: Even in this contentious political climate in which we work, on this issue the United States has largely spoken with one voice, Democrats and Republicans alike speaking with the same voice. This unity has been important, and it will be even more important in these delicate and fateful days ahead. So I will not speak more about this today, I had planned on speaking more about it, but it\u2019s much more appropriate that we all wait and the president will deliver his statement on this in about an hour.<\/p>\n

RUSH: So I\u2019m not gonna say anything about this, after five minutes of talking about it, and wait for the leader of our regime to make the statement. Any of you, ladies and gentlemen, think that whatever comes next in Egypt will be better for US interests than Mubarak has been? Who knows? I don\u2019t think this is good. I, frankly, don\u2019t think so. It\u2019s not gonna be roses and tulips over there for these people, these protesters. This is not gonna end well, wherever it ends up. I\u2019d love to be wrong. That\u2019s my fear about it. I don\u2019t think it\u2019s gonna end well. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
