- I have the thing on tape and will try to do some type of a
- summary. Sorry, no trascript though. It is the BUSY season.
-
- Couple of thoughts. The crowd seemed to be split on sometimes
- liking what Rush had to say and sometimes liking what Phil had
- to say. This was the second time I have seen these two go after
- each other in the last several days. The first time was on CNBC
- on the Phil show there.
-
- An example from yesterday..
- Phil tried to get Rush on several options and then asked if Rush
- supported a law that would make abortion illegal. Rush said Yes and
- then Phil started this thing about the need that Rush would inpose
- to have a nazi-type police force to enforce the law. Rush said that
- this would not be the case as there would be no difference between
- a law against abortion as a law against murder.
- Phil got very emotional and was yelling about this enforcement thing.
- Rush turned it on him by saying that every time that this abortion
- thing comes up, the abortion advocates get emotional and start screaming
- about things that would never happen and things that the pro-life
- folks are not even suggesting.
-
- I thought it was a very good 'backhand' to Phil.
-
- I'll watch the last few minutes tonight and see what else I can get
- out of it.
-
- One funny thing, Phil started talking about how evil the 80's were
- and how only the rich got richer and how bad that was. Rush brought
- up the fact that the 80's had been very good to Phil Donahue and since
- the 80's were this evil thing, that Phil should give back all the money
- that he had made. Phil became rich on during the 1980's and was lambasting
- the very decade that made him this way.
