RUSH: I’m big on the right-now. Somebody’s gotta be for right-now, and that’s me.CALLER: Hey, listen, my 12-year-old daughter, her statement last week was who cares what the guy’s middle name is, he looks like Curious George.

RUSH: Don’t make me laugh. I can’t laugh. The point I was going to make to you is, you’re going to have to be very careful. You don’t have to disabuse Republicans of Obama, Tammy. Everybody’s on the same page with you about Obama. There may be some so-called Republicans. But trust me, the people that are going to have to be separated from Obama are the people you see at his rallies and the people in these polls and those people are not attached to him because of intelligence; they’re not attached to him because of his experience; not attached to him because of anything to do with his record. They’re attached to him like the faithful are attached to a religion.

BREAK TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: I never heard of Curious George until that caller. I don’t care how old Curious George is. I never heard of Curious George. I had no idea what she was talking about. Now they tell me Curious George is a monkey. Well whoop-de-do, that’s what you get coming in sick.

BREAK TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: I need to apologize to both Senator Obama and to Senator McCain. We had a caller, the last caller of the hour, her name was Tammy, is that right? We were talking about Hillary and Obama and that race with her, right? Obama’s qualifications. And she told me what her 12 year old’s reaction to Obama was. The little 12 year old thought Obama looked like Curious George, and I chuckled and we went to a break. I’d never heard of Curious George. Only now have staffers sent me little pictures of Curious George. Folks, when I was a kid, the last cartoon I ever watched — (interruption) no, I didn’t watch Mighty Mouse, this is the whole point. What were the cartoons I watched? I watched Yogi Bear, Jellystone Park. I watched the Flintstones, the Wacky Races, which was hilarious. I don’t know about this Curious George character. I had no idea Curious George was a monkey. I didn’t like the Jetsons. This is the whole point. I didn’t read comic books. I did not watch cartoons. Well, I did like El Kabong, Quick Draw McGraw.

I never read Batman, never read Superman, never read Flash. I didn’t read comic books. There was one time my mother was going to have to be gone, so she made me heat up a Swanson’s fried chicken TV dinner. I wanted to read something while I was eating, it was some cartoon, I can’t even tell you what the comic book was. Oh, I also watched Clutch Cargo, but I have no idea who this Curious George guy was. Now I do. I’ve seen the pictures of Curious George, everybody is telling me about Curious George. So I wish to apologize to both Senator Obama and Senator McCain. It was not my intent to bring dishonor and guttural utterances into this campaign. It happened, I laughed about it, was a 12-year-old kid’s reaction to Obama, it was told by his mother. I was laughing because I was being polite, but I’d never heard of Curious George. I still don’t know what the deal is. I see the pictures of Curious George now, but I have no clue what Curious George does. I don’t know. And Dawn, stunned me, “Curious George was around when you were growing up.” Well, this is the first I have heard. In fact, I can tell you, I have never seen a cartoon starring a monkey, unless there was one on the Flintstones, but I think those were dinosaurs and alligators.
