12/9/14, "How Can I Go On Knowing Mona Charen Doesn't Approve?" Rush Limbaugh transcript
"RUSH: Folks, I have to tell you, I was almost unable to do the
program today. I was so sad, I was so shaken, respondent, dejected,
that I actually required a pep talk from my chef this morning in order
to come here and actually do the program.
Well, Mona Charen
criticized me at National Review Online. She said I was wrong, what I
said on TV, and I thought, "Well, how can I go on? Mona Charen said
that I'm wrong about the shutdown, that I'm wrong about Republicans. I'm savvy, but I'm wrong. And I don't know, folks, it just destroyed
me. I'm not used to being called on the carpet like this publicly....Well, I had a
friend send me her column, and the note was, "I'm sure that you have
seen this," and I hadn't. This one friend sends me everything critical
of me in the e-mail.
Whenever this particular friend finds
something critical, bam, I get it, with the note, "I'm sure you've seen
this." And I say, "No, I do not seek these things out, cause I don't
know how I could go on if I run into all the criticism I get," as
evidenced by today....
National Review Online,
right, which is doubly hurtful because of course that's the publication
or website founded by William F. Buckley Jr., one of my idols and
heroes, and to be criticized and basically accused of being wrong, oh,
folks, oh, you don't know, and it's tough to admit this.
Here's where Mona -- this one paragraph here, this where she said I
got it wrong. This is her assessment. "Republicans want to shrink
government, revive the mediating institutions of society like family,
community groups, and churches, improve national defense, and restore
economic vitality by removing government-imposed burdens on small
business. A key ambition, universally endorsed by Republicans, is
repealing and replacing Obamacare."
Man, have I been missing a lot. I didn't know any of that was going
on, or very little of it. But, anyway, folks, I bucked up and I decided
to put that aside, put aside the personal pain and suffering of being
openly criticized like this. (laughing) Snerdley's taking me seriously....
Do you really think I needed a pep talk from the chef to get
behind the microphone? (laughing)
Her point was I was wrong about the shutdown, because it is hurtful,
it is damaging, we should do anything at all costs to avoid doing a
shutdown 'cause we're always gonna get blamed for it. And that Romney
wouldn't have won if four million voters -- because it's not guaranteed
that all of those Republicans would have voted for Romney and so...
I walked in the
kitchen and said to chef, "I don't think I can do it today. I really
don't."
"Why?" Then I explained it, got a pep talk, and here I am."
