- Well, I do get my facts mixed up more often than I'd care to admit,
- but in this case I happened to hear both the playbacks that Tom mentioned
- *and* the original call from the guy who sounds like Bentsen. Bo identified
- the guy in advance as somebody who sounds like Bentsen, and when he got
- on the air and Rush heard for himself he took a break to make up some
- phrases that he wanted the caller to say for him (in very much the same
- vein as they did with the caller who sounded like Clinton).

- Yes, I'm admit that I'm relying on what I heard through my fallible
- liberal ears, but this time it's true.

-
- It is. But not by me, and not by Tom. The "culprit" this time is Rush
- himself.
