Hannity: "My definition of friendship doesn't begin in the good times. It's easy to be friends with someone when they're helping out and you're getting something from somebody...those of you that may be quick to judge, what has he given you over the course of 15 years, what has he provided you over the course of 15 years...I feel very confident based on all that he's going through and the very courageous stand he took today he is dealing with an issue that has come up in his life...and I believe his true friends and supporters will be there for him. This does not diminish all the great things he has done for conservativism, Republicans, and the radio industry... If you are truly a compassionate liberal you will not take such glee... If you've been through the same kind of operation and experienced the same kind of pain... This is a good man. This guy has done tremendous work and has been a force for good in this country...and radio...and a good close personal friend. And we look forward to him being back behind the microphone...our thoughts and our prayers are with him. And our friendship is with him in his tougher hours. Rush, we love you, Godspeed, we wish you back soon, you have been a role model in spite of what you said today about yourself...we'll be praying for you." (Sounds slightly choked up.)

Sean is a good kid and he is exactly correct when he says it's easy to be a friend when the tide is smooth .

I'll be sitting back noting the jackals . Thanks for the quote Princess .

Thank you so much for your transcriptions.

Rush never claimed to be God.....and it would appear that those who listened to him and ascribed those God-like attributes to him, now feel it acceptable to abandon him in his hour of need.

My heartfelt prayers to God that he will sustain Rush and Marta in their time of need. God, please soften the hearts of those who have forgotten there can be only one God, and help them to remember their humanity.
