Speaker 1: This is Keith in Atlanta. It's great to have your Keith.
Speaker 1: How are you doing, sir, I'm great, Rush, Thanks for
Speaker 1: taking my call. You bet. I've been a listener since
Speaker 1: the early nineties and I've always been a fan of
Speaker 1: your nicknames. I think you and Trump have a unique
Speaker 1: talent for that and one that I've always gotten a
Speaker 1: chuckle out of that. I almost feel like it's a
Speaker 1: private joke because I'm not sure that everybody gets it.
Speaker 1: Is dingy, Harry. I'm pretty sure that I know the
Speaker 1: origins of it, and I was wondering if you'd indulge me. Uh,
Speaker 1: Harry Reid to me was dirty. This is a guy
Speaker 1: lying about Mitt Romney not paying his tax attend This
Speaker 1: is a guy who tried to get me censured and
Speaker 1: apologized for for claiming I was opposed to the US
Speaker 1: military by creating a phony soldier. This is a guy.
Speaker 1: And by the way, we raised four million dollars off
Speaker 1: of the letter. He wrote that the guy that was
Speaker 1: running Clear Channel at the time was Mark May. And
Speaker 1: you want to talk about a brave ceo, Mark May's.
Speaker 1: He's the one of the sons of Lowry Mays, a
Speaker 1: founder of Clear Channel. So Dingy Harry that the media
Speaker 1: matters got this phony thing up. I criticized the guy
Speaker 1: who was not a soldier, who was passing himself off
Speaker 1: as a decorated war veteran, ripping into George W. Bush.
Speaker 1: So the media says, limball rips into some guy, claims
Speaker 1: he's phony soldier, which he was. Dingie Harry went to
Speaker 1: the floor of the U. S. Senate to condemn me,
Speaker 1: a private citizen. I wished my parents were alive to
Speaker 1: hear it. And then he demands that Mark Mays do
Speaker 1: something to me, apologize for me, or what have you.
Speaker 1: Mark May's gave me the letter that Dingy Harry wrote him,
Speaker 1: and I auctioned it on eBay as an example of
Speaker 1: your government attempting to infringe on the free speech rights
Speaker 1: of an individual citizen me. I promised to match whatever
Speaker 1: the highest bidder for that letter was. And somebody actually
Speaker 1: bought that letter for two million dollars two point one
Speaker 1: or something. I matched it, so it was over four
Speaker 1: million dollars that was raised for for Marine Corps Law
Speaker 1: Enforcement Foundation. Well that's that's that's Harry Reid. Well, so
Speaker 1: you got Clint Eastwood out, there's dirty Harry. I can't
Speaker 1: call him dirty Harry because Dirty Harry is already taken. Say,
Speaker 1: came up with Dingy because dingy is even better. Dingy
Speaker 1: is dirty and cloudy and murky and filthy. So that
Speaker 1: that was my thinking on it, Keith, is that what
Speaker 1: you assumed? That that's exactly exactly right. And I love
Speaker 1: it Rush and again it makes me smile every time
Speaker 1: I hear it said. Thanks a lot for everything that
Speaker 1: you do. I appreciate that, Thank you very much. I
Speaker 1: love those kinds of questions. How did you come up
Speaker 1: with the name of dingy Harry? I think I know,
Speaker 1: but I'm not sure.
