Rush is in favor of the port deal, so you know what that means
Port Story Swerves, Turns Into Tsunami
February 21, 2005

RUSH: What we have here is a tsunami. We've got tsunami of coverage on this port deal that is disabling any reasonable debate about this, and I know it doesn't help this idiot Jimmy Carter has just come out for this port deal. I mean, if Bush really wanted this, Jimmy Carter has just screwed it. Jimmy Carter's just blown this deal sky high by coming out and endorsing it. (Laughing.) This guy is the biggest... We have some Carter sound bites from CNN yesterday. I'm going to tell you what happened to Jimmy Carter. Everybody wants to know what's happened to Jimmy Carter, and it's real simple. It's the Nixon funeral. Folks, I will never forget this. Speaker after speaker -- we got all the living presidents in the audience -- and speaker after speaker is eulogizing Richard Nixon, and they are saying the greatest things about Nixon that were ever said in Nixon's life.

He had Henry Kissinger up there, had Billy Graham up there, even Clinton went up there, and they were all praising Nixon, and they really focused on his foreign policy achievements, and what was Jimmy Carter doing? He was pounding nails at the Habitat for Humanity, and I just know that he had to be sitting there livid, listening, and Rosalyn was probably even more livid than Jimmy was, and I can just imagine all during these eulogies, Rosalynn Carter starts jabbing Jimmy in the ribs and says, "See? See? What are you doing? You're out there pounding nails! What are they going to say about you when you die? You better get yourself in gear here." And ever since then, Jimmy Carter -- I'm not kidding you, folks -- he's been a different guy. He's been out doing nothing but traveling the world, monitoring elections, opposing his own country, winning the Nobel Peace Prize.

Now he comes out in favor of the United Arab Emirates operating these six ports, and that's going to seal the deal as much as anything else out there will. I know the deal is not going to happen, but I do want to discuss a couple things with you about this, because the tsunami that's taken place here based on the politics of this, quite understandable, but you can't stop a tsunami. Once a tsunami starts, you can't stop it. All you can do is run away from it. That's all you can do, or maybe you can hang around and hope that you survive it, but you can't stop it, and we are in a full-fledged tsunami right now. We have an enemy, and the enemy is Islamofascism. Some might call it "militant Islam," and the United Arab Emirates are said to be one of the breeding grounds.

However, recently the United Arab Emirates have become a partner of "ours," quote, unquote -- just hear me out on this -- in the war on terror. Now, I have read the book The Art of War by Sun Tzu. Have you read that book, Brian? I didn't think so. You know what? The theory in reading Sun Tzu in defeating this enemy, you can't defeat them totally with military means alone, and one of Sun Tzu's theories is the best way to beat your enemy is to make your enemy your friend. Now, we have spent I don't know how many years and gazillions of dollars trying to export capitalism to China, export capitalism to Russia. The Cold War took 70 years to win, folks. We're expecting overnight success in this thing, and we have pretty much the same scenario and circumstances that we have with the war on terror as we had with the Cold War.

more . . . (if you can stomach it; if not, it's mostly rambling bs.)

14. true - but I think the motives are different
BushCo is in it for bigger profits for the Corporate world

I think Carter and Clinton saw it as a way to alleviate poverty and build good will in other parts of the world via economic development - most of us figured out we were suckered by the Corporate World in search of a better bottom line.

10. Well, in massive doses
it can destroy your hearing (which it did, thus the robotic ears he now has) and I'm guessing it has frazzled what is left of his pin sized brain.

9. O fer the love of Mike. I read 2 paragraphs
Yes, how DARE an aristocratic xpres build a home for a worthless peon!

That imaginary conversation between Mr and Mrs Carter is too vivid for a sober individual.

Cheney goes on this fool's program. It's fitting.

11. Sadly some of his listeners will think he was referring to a real
conversation instead of one he made up in his head.

13. It means two things
1. Rush is shilling for Smirk
2. You are reading rushlimbaugh.com

Both of these are no surprise.

19. Oh give them some time
They will figure out sooner or later that Clinton agrees with Carter on globalization. First though they will have to look it up in the dictionary.

22. My favorite line about Jimmy Carter---
"He's been out doing nothing but traveling the world, monitoring elections, opposing his own country, winning the Nobel Peace Prize.

LMAO--doing nothing, lol. Opposing the US gets a man the Peace Prize? Good to know we're on the side of freedom.
