Moonbeam Calls Whitman a Whore

RUSH: You know, I’m gonna let you people in on a little inside baseball broadcast secret. Now, I believe a radio show is to be executed and performed. You don’t tell people how you’re gonna do it and then do it; you just do it. It’s like marketing plans. When I worked at the Kansas City Royals, we didn’t tell everybody, ‘Here’s how we are going to separate you from your money this summer.’ We just did it. You know, you don’t give the details of the marketing plan. Well, what I do here at the second break of every program, the bottom of the hour, I go to the subscriber, Rush 24/7 e-mail in box, and I always look for those e-mails from people who tell me they think I should have mentioned already but haven’t, and it’s funny.

‘When are you gonna mention X?’

‘Are you ignoring this? Why?’

‘You don’t have the guts to talk about this. I knew it!’

All these kinds of things. And the big thing today that they’re on me for ‘ignoring’ is Jerry Brown calling Meg Whitman a ‘whore,’ and I think it’s just they want to hear the word ‘whore’ on the radio because the media won’t say it. On some cable networks this morning, the females would not use the word. (interruption) Well, I don’t know. It’s just like Philadelphia. They wouldn’t say ‘jackass’ when talking about me. They said ‘Jackahhhh,’ but they wouldn’t use the word ‘whore.’ I just think people want to hear the word ‘whore.’ Here are the details. I think we have the audio. I don’t know if we’ve got this in the audio sound bite roster. I had to peruse it very quickly. It’s the Los Angeles Times: Brown or Aide is Heard Slurring Whitman — In a private conversation inadvertently captured on voicemail, someone calls the GOP candidate for governor a ‘whore,’ saying she made a deal to protect law enforcement pensions while seeking endorsements.’ (interruption) It is? We got it. It’s audio sound bite 18, so here it is.

BROWN: That I have been warned if I crack down on pensions, I will be — that they’ll go to Whitman, and that’s where they’ll go because they know Whitman will give ’em, will cut them a deal, but I won’t.

MAN: What about saying she’s a whore?

BROWN: Well, I’m going to use that. It proves you’ve cut a secret deal to protect the pensions.

RUSH: So that’s the audio sound bite. It will be interesting to see if there’s any negative fallout to Moonbeam over this. You know, I don’t care how far the feminazis advance, you’re still not supposed to hit the girl. You just can’t hit the girl. (interruption) Well, I know. They’re calling it ‘a salty, private conversation.’ It kind of pales in comparison to what Eliot Spitzer is out there doing.
