'THEY CAN'T COMPETE'

Rush Ridicules Leftist Talk Radio Rivals




On today's show, Rush Limbaugh seemed to truly enjoy blasting the latest efforts by "progressives" to compete with his program.

From the newly- released transcript:

Come on, there isn't any principle in the Democratic Party. I have a story in the stack about how some new group of young Democrat intellectuals trying to figure out how to compete against me and against Fox News.

How many times have we read about this? First it was Mario Cuomo; then it was Gary Hart; then it was Air America, any number of people, and they're doing it all over, and each one of these efforts is greeted with ecstatic anticipation on the part of the Drive-By Media, and it's given in-depth analysis.

But even these new guys, these new "Young Turks," these so-called intellectuals, were getting together to try to figure out, "Should we put together a think tank? Should we put together a series of blogs? Should we do it the Limbaugh way? Should we do it the Drudge way?" They still don't have any principles.

If they had any principles that they could be honest about, beliefs they could be honest about, they wouldn't have any roadblocks in the way. Their problem is, how can we fool 'em today? They've tried every which way to fool people and the jig is up. They're not getting away with fooling people anymore.

Rush, if we may, the list of failed lefty challengers is a lot longer than that! How about Alan Dershowitz, KGO's Bernie Ward in national syndication, Jerry Brown, Hugh Rodham and so many others?

Who are we leaving out?

ELSEWHERE: via Powerline, the folks over at leftist mega-blog DailyKos now seem to be up to their ears in scandal. Hey guys, why not call Al and find out how he brushed off questions about the Air America Boys & Girls Club scam!
