H/T to Five Feet of Fury for this one.

I’ve tried to include the audio…if you can’t listen to it, the transcript is below.

RUSH: Here’s Dave in Wyoming on a cell phone.  Great to have you with us, sir.  Hello.

CALLER:  Hey, big rig-driving dittos, Rush.

RUSH:  Thank you very much.

CALLER:  I have a question about your Miss America judging.

RUSH:  Yeah.

CALLER:  First of all, let me thank you for your service for going down there.

RUSH: (laughing)

CALLER: I mean, Las Vegas and Miss America contestants parading around, that must be awful.

RUSH:  Well, somebody has to do it, and everybody has to be somewhere.  And my name came up.

CALLER: Yup.

RUSH: Yeah.

CALLER:  Hey, I want to know if you’ve experienced the strange phenomenon yet that when a black contestant is on the stage, you “forget” that she’s black.

RUSH:  (laughing) You are not helping.

A new voice has been added to the ‘consensus’ in support of the hoax of man-made global warming. None other than Osama Bin Laden has come out and endorsed the theory. In his latest tape Bin Laden blamed: the West, industrialization and most of all the United States for causing cliamte change. The latest member of ‘Big Environment’ said that only “drastic solutions” and not “solutions that partially reduce the effect of climate change” should be used to avert the ‘dire consequences’ of global warming. Guess what Bin Laden said the only way to sop global warming is? The answer comes strait out of the Al Gore playbook: “bring the wheels of the American economy to a halt.” At least Bin Laden is honest – he admits that he is using global warming to bring down the United States! All the communists, dupes and fellow travelers who have perpetuated one environmental hoax after the other have a singular goal: to cut down the USA. From Paul Ehrlich to James Hanson from global warming to global cooling to overpopulation there is one constant: liberals hate America. They see America as a hateful, racist, bigoted country, that spreads imperialism and ‘evil’ capitalism onto poor, innocent countries. There is a fundamental conflict of visions between us and them and it can never be bridged. So it is no surprise that a muslim terrorist that hates America would team up with a bunch of communists that hate America to perpetuate a known hoax, with the goal of crippling the United States.

When the James O’Keefe story originally broke, it seemed pretty cut-and-dried that he was guilty of orchestrating a plot to tap the phone lines of Senator Mary Landrieu (D-LA.) For those who don’t remember, O’Keefe was the fake pimp-turned-investigative journalist who, with the help of Hannah Giles, broke the famous ACORN story last year with hidden cameras. This current feat of his sounds a bit fishy though, regardless of what the truth is, that’s currently unknown.

O’Keefe released a statement via Andrew Breitbart’s BigGovernment this morning saying:

[...] I learned from a number of sources that many of Senator Landrieu’s constituents were having trouble getting through to her office to tell her that they didn’t want her taking millions of federal dollars in exchange for her vote on the healthcare bill.  When asked about this, Senator Landrieu’s explanation was that, “Our lines have been jammed for weeks.”  I decided to investigate why a representative of the people would be out of touch with her constituents for “weeks” because her phones were broken.  In investigating this matter, we decided to visit Senator Landrieu’s district office – the people’s office – to ask the staff if their phones were working. [...] The sole intent of our investigation was to determine whether or not Senator Landrieu was purposely trying to avoid constituents who were calling to register their views to her as their Senator.

Furthermore, he alleged that:

MSNBC falsely claimed that I violated a non-existent “gag order.”  The Associated Press incorrectly reported that I “broke in” to an office which is open to the public.  The Washington Post has now had to print corrections in two stories on me.  And these are just a few examples of inaccurate and false reporting.

Admittedly I’ve never been a fan of O’Keefe. I thought what he did with ACORN was great…but as a person I was never too fond of him for unknown reasons (just a hunch.) Regardless, this story still reeks of contradictions. In looking at the couple of hundred comments below his statement, the majority of people are pledging their support for him, wishing him the best in his defense, etc. One person even said: “Thanks for clearing this up James. It all makes sense now.” To me, this reeks of “blind followers” syndrome. I’m never one to defend a Democratic Senator or MSNBC for that matter, but I still think that O’Keefe’s version of the story is fairly farfetched, especially given the admissions made by he and his cohorts, and the testimony of the FBI spokesman.

I’ll be keeping a close eye on this and be keeping you updated here and via Twitter. But people, don’t feel you’re turning your back on the conservative cause by acknowledging that there’s a likely possibility that O’Keefe and friends are guilty. Don’t base your entire opinion of the story on his statement that was released after the evidence came out against him.

We just can’t seem to get rid of the McCains. Everywhere you look, there they are, antagonizing conservatives. It is still difficult to understand how John McCain got the GOP nod ’08. One positive aspect of his loss was that I though he would finally go away. We should be so lucky. This past week John’s wife Cindy, and his RINO daughter Meghan, who voted for Jean-Francois Kerri in 2004 (need I say any more about her?!!!), posed in a photo-op for a group called NOH8 (no hate). NOH8 is a group that wants to overturn proposition 8 in California, which defined marriage as between one man and one woman. Where do these two come off? The hypocrisy in ‘NOH8′ is staggering. They oppose ‘hate’ by essentially hating everyone that disagrees with them. If Cindy and Meghan want to support gay marriage good luck to them. My question is: why do they have to call all the people that oppose gay marriage, the people who vote for John McCain, haters? Could they not just have differing opinions? This is just another reason why, as J.D. Hayworth said, “it’s time for him [McCain] to come home.”

Yes I was bored last night after seeing the stupidity of Chris Matthews:

Overheard on Parliament Hill:

Aide: “I wish I could reference Five Feet of Fury when people ask where I get all my information.”

My response: “You can.”

Aide: “No, I really can’t.”

Me: “Coward.”

Aide: “Yup.”

…in a playground not too far away, two brothers had been in the middle of a fight that’s lasted quite some time now. The true reasons for this are extensive, but ultimately they were just unable to see eye-to-eye on certain points. For example, the older of the two likes things the way they are; he likes being able to befriend the other children in the neighborhood and work with them to achieve a more pleasant playground experience. His little brother, however, seems insistent on ensuring that his time at school is spent only pleasing himself, and the poor saps whom he’s claimed as his “people.” For a long time, the two never spoke to each other. In fact, friends of the two brothers weren’t allowed to speak to the other brother…let alone enter into what the brothers called their “territory.”

It’s not that simple anymore though, because the younger brother has now decided that he wants to control his older sibling, despite the fact that his older brother doesn’t owe him anything. In fact, the younger brother even went so far as to lob several giant spitballs at his innocent sibling, which fortunately didn’t hurt him. The older brother decided to retaliate simply as a warning that they were prepared to do more if necessary. There is another option though, we hope! The school teacher has been notoriously absent from the fairy tale so far. We’ll call him Mr. Barry. Now, Mr. Barry represents the district school board of course which has been a world leader in spreading democracy for some time now.

However, with Mr. Barry, it seems that the administration is supporting not democracy, but ths ones who subvert democracy. Mr. Barry even sided with the young Fidel (who was caught selling cigars in the schoolyard,) as well as little Akbar who even gave a violently anti-semitic speech at the last school assembly. If Mr. Barry wants to reassure the other students that he will enforce freedom amongst the students, it’s high time that he step up to the plate and intervene in this conflict.

The part of the two brothers in today’s performance have been played by North and South Korea.

…State of the Union Bingo!

If Bingo’s not your thing you can try the Barack Hussein Obama drinking game — every time he says something stupid or rhetorical, take a shot. Note that Strictly Right and Andrew Lawton will not be held responsible when you inevitably go to the hospital with alcohol poisoning within the first 15 minutes.

If you’re a Colts fan it’s time to get arrogant. In fact, Peyton might as well get measured for his second Super Bowl champion ring. Why? Because the New Orleans Saints have just received the kiss of death: and endorsement from Barack Obama. Obama has supported losers in: Virginia, New Jersey(!!) and most recently Massachusetts(!!!) He has the reverse Midas Touch – everything he touches turns to lead. Sorry Aints fans but Barry said

I guess I am rooting a little bit for the Saints as the underdog, partly because when I think about what’s happened in New Orleans…
