BEGIN TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: Ladies and gentlemen, a programming note: Mr. Snerdley has been suspended for the day. He is, as you know, our call screener. Snerdley was sent home for the day earlier this morning. He will be back tomorrow if everything goes according to plan. There were two problems. He presented a call to me on the program last Friday involving human waste movements, clearly beneath the quality and decorum of this program. Snerdley thought it would be funny because it was about a South Park incident in which the measurements were said to be in Courics. But the caller never got there because I, maintaining the class and decorum known for this program, interceded.
Secondly, you might remember the call from Lynn last Friday. How would you describe it, H.R.? What was she doing? She made a play for me; she was coming on to me, make no bones about it. I learned, ladies and gentlemen, over the weekend, that Snerdley gave her a call. This is just intolerable. It's funny, but I have to put my foot down on this. This is the second time we've had to suspend him in the course of this program, which is not too many times. The first time was when I saw him shouting, and arguing, and yelling with a caller in there. You have to nip these things in the bud when you see them happening. You gotta lay down the law. You can't let the line get crossed, because then the line gets blurred, and then the line gets invisible.

Snerdley loves being suspended from time to time.
“You gotta nip these things in the bud, Andy! Nip ‘em in the bud!”
In addition to the usual assortment of comments from the Flying Freeper Rapid Response Shout Down Squad I was very embarrassed to have the thread summarily pulled on the basis of "a fake unsubstantiated email"
Had the thread been allowed to remain it would have given Rush or his staff an opportunity to discover what happens when (well meaning) people interact with his show.
Like water dripping on a rock, over time this stuff WILL affect his reputation and his overall show ratings.
There are all sorts of technological solutions to handle incoming calls to a talk show and Rush, bless his heart, seems to like to stick with the horse-and-buggy approach.
Not that there is anything wrong with that as long as it is done with precision and excellence.
Best regards,
I watched the “More Crap” episode (wasn’t a gut buster) and the name of the unit of measure went right over my head. Now that I see “Couric” in print I am busting a gut!
You don't want to get into that; after all, Bush once said that Clymer was "a major league a–hole". That would allow some real mega-dumps.

ROFLMAO!!!
LOL
She wasn't divorced yet, just getting that way, I think she was looking for a sugar daddy.
LOL - thanks. A couric is a measure of weight, not length. What would we do without South Park?
I was on once when Tony Snow subbed, and I actually got through and was on with Rush. But at least two other times the call screener basically said: thank you - CLICK! (It wasn’t Bo on those other times though)
Quit your carping. Rush has the *one* show on the radio that does a decent job screening callers to keep the show entertaining. That’s his job, not making every caller feel good about themselves; that would make for a boring show. He’s absolutely the best in the world at what he does; if you don’t like it, start your own.
Yeah, but how many Courics are there in a Gore? Remember orders of magnitude in your answer.
That would require exponentials ... higher math don’tchaknow. BTW, when is Bo gonna get the chance to sit in for Rush?
He said he has watched it, but didn’t see this episode. I’ll e-mail him and give him the Readers Digest version to explain that it was meaningless.
Sometimes Parker and Stone get a kick out of people taking their comedy far more seriously than it needs to be. All they were saying IMHO is:
1. Guys get all worked up over stupid crap like who took the biggest crap.
2. Liberal do gooders like Bono are full of crap.
It’s really not very complicated.
3. In case the Emmy people didn’t get the hint when the duo showed up in drag, this episode tells them where they can stick it (literally, at the end of the episode).
I watched South Park last night - and when they were talking about the person who had previously held the record I was sure it was going to be Man-Bear-Pig or Algore... somehow Bono fits well, too.
Parker and Stone shoving their Emmy Award in Randy’s giant turd...that is a political statement. algore sleeps with his Oscar and Nobel Prize and worships it. It defines his meaningless existence.
Secure people don’t need awards from sycophants to prove their worth.
