-
- Bentsen might well have said something like that. But.
-
- The voice is a sound-alike. Regular listeners may remember when the fellow
- called the program a short time back and Rush fed him several lines to say
- for recording. Rush was extremely amused by the whole prospect; the
- sound-alike guy was fairly gracious and apologized to Bentsen before
- he hung up.
-
- Tom> Prepared to be aghast, but I've been lied to with misquotes
- Tom> before...
-
- It's not the first time sound-alike voices have been used on his
- program, but, as everyone knows, it's "all in fun". In fact, Rush
- frequently injects little disclaimers about the simulated voice spots.
-
- I hear someone is working on another magazine article on Rush and they
- plan to use several pictures of Rush mugging idiotic looks on his TV program.
- Turn about fair play I suppose. But they won't have to have any disclaimers,
- as the dumb looks are not a simulation.
-
- Thank heavens we all have a sense of humor! Right?
