Rush Limbaugh caller

[Tess D]

When Rush asked her if she agreed with Kennedy on the tax cut issue she said "I dont know anything about the economy to answer. I dont care about that. I just loved Kennedy because he was a Catholic like me bla bla bla". I listen to people like this woman and I weep for my country.

[ReaganRevolution]

Yeah, she claimed no one ever will love a Republican President. You're right Reagan was and is still loved by millions of Americans.

[annyokie]

Good girl! I have thought the same thing for years.

[RichInOC]

Certainly, JFK was a beloved president. When he was in office, he be loved by more women than you could shake a stick at...

[skeeter]

I wouldn't take her seriously, Rush obviously didn't.

She was just a little old New Deal Democrat still in a state of swoon over the myth of Camelot...

[thinktwice]

Rush detected early on that the woman was delusional, and from that point on he was cosiderate and non-confrontationals.

Rush did ask her if she always voted democrat and she said yes.

Rush handled it well.

[piasa]

I liked where she said she knows nothing about Hubert Humphrey, and then when Rush asked her if she would support Kennedy if he was here today advocating tax cuts she weaseled around and said she doesn't know anything about the economy. (Which was obvious anyway.)

I'm glad he was getting to her...

[breakem]

Anyone running on Kennedy's platform today would be more conservative than half the republicans in office.

[wideawake]

When I was little there was a crazy woman in my parish who came to church every Sunday and held up a prayerbook with a picture of JFK sticking out of it above her head.

For the whole Mass.

One hour straight, without twitching.

[Nephi]

Yeah, it was great. I was giggling gleefully to myself as he tweaked her.

How great would it be if Fox News started running clip during their cable cast?

[duckworth]

It's simple. When Papa Joe left Mama Rose at home to shack up with Gloria Swanson, he learned the ways of the Hollywood PR machine. He learned the power of the photo, the power of the sound bite, the power of looking and acting like a movie star even though you were just a rum runner. And he gave all this knowledge to Joey and Johnny and Bobby and Teddy. And for years they've played the press like a fiddle. Fiddle de fiddle de fiddle. Thank you.

[piasa]

Nah. We KNOW that some are evil. The rest are ignorant or worse, stupid, and these are the power supplies of evil.

[Little Bill]

America "loved" Kennedy

Kennedy was in Dallas because he was in political trouble with his fellow Rats, at that time the Rats needed Texas to win, kinda like Kali today. I was in High School at the time and hated Kennedy, strange for a Masshole, and followed his numbers closely.

[Nephi]

...clips of JFK on the economy, I mean.

[Arthur McGowan]

I think liberals are evil.

[Republican Wildcat]

Yes, I heard that. She was one of the most intellectually lacking callers he has had in a long time. Rush even worked around and got her to admit she didn't know what she was talking about.

She also doesn't know history...talking about how "loved" Kennedy was. The fact of the matter is that he was unpopular and was going to lose re-election.

[bmwcyle]

Stop the stupid from voting.
