When Call Screening Breaks Down

Rush:       OK....let's go to Morris from Sacramento.....my adopted home town....good-morning sir....how are you?


Morris:    Mega-dittos El Rushbo. I've been listening to you since that day when I was fourteen when my dad locked my in the closet with a radio with the dial taped to your show.

Rush:      Well.....heh heh heh....what ever it takes. How can I help you today?

Morris:    Rush...you changed my life.....before you I was a brain-dead liberal....and now I know that we have three branches of government!

Rush:      Well I am America's anchorman.....but do you have a question today Morris?

Morris:    Uh....No

Rush:     OK....well thanks for calling in. Let's go tooooo....Marci from Shreveport. Welcome to the Rush Limbaugh show Marci.

Marci:    Hello Rush....I wanna say what an honor it is to talk to you.....

Rush:     Thank you

Marci:    I think that I haven't missed but four or five shows in twenty years...

Rush:    Wow....that's faithfulness! And...

Marci:   And this is the first time that I could get in.....but I didn't know the passwords before....."I wanna say what an honor it is to talk to you"....I've got one of your signed books....and a Rush coffee mug....and a....

Rush:     Marcie....what do you mean passwords?

Marci:    Oh you know.....coup....witch hunt....FISA....neverTrumpers.....words like that. My pastor filled my in on the passwords and I got right in.

Rush:     Mr. Snerdly are you awake at the wheel....heh....heh....let's go to Special Dog in Pittsburgh....Pennsylvania....my second adopted home....
I played records there on WIXZ and later on KQV back in the 70s....what can I do for you Special Dog.

S.D:      Rush....I listened to you back then. I was researching something and came across a transcript of a show of yours from 2007 where you were complaining that Barack Obama's followers were like a cult....aren't there similarities....and isn't it possible that Donald Trump's followers are like a cult?

Rush:    Folks I like to take liberal callers once in a while...

S.D.       I'm way to the right of you Rush.

Rush:     Special Dog....I'm on a heartbreak....let me just say this....I have the most intelligent callers in radio....they would never fall for some cult leader.....OK folks.....your Maha Rushie will be back after this insane profit break.
