Reagan was characterized as deranged, asleep half the time, finger dangerously poised on the nuclear trigger and he would wipe out the world in a moment's notice. The media and the Democrat Party hated Ronald Reagan. But if you weren't around to remember, it was really acrimonious. He believed that communism would ultimately implode on itself.īut that didn't mean he didn't want to urge it along and help that along. Reagan believed the Soviet Union would implode because of its own immorality. That made the Democrats and the media mad. They're not staying in office long enough to have a meeting." That made 'em mad. You gotta talk, nuclear weapons, nuclear warheads all over the place and a nuclear arms race and you won't talk."Īnd Reagan said, "They keep dying on me. To the media and the Democrat Party, that was dangerous. They saw the Soviet Union as a great attempt, actually, at equality and fairness in governing a society.įor the first five years of the Reagan administration, he refused to meet with a Soviet leader. They didn't see the Soviet Union as much of a threat. The Democrat Party did not see the Soviet Union as much of an enemy. They were literally trying to expand everywhere. But the Soviet Union was the enemy of the United States, acknowledged enemy of the United States.Įvery Soviet leader - Gorbachev, Brezhnev, Yuri Andropov - was doing their best to expand communist beachheads all over the world. During the 1980s, the Al-Qaeda of the day was the Soviet Union, and to a lesser extent the ChiComs. RUSH: Now, ladies and gentlemen, for those of you too young to have remembered or to those of you who weren't paying attention back in the 1980s, let me give you a little history lesson. JASON: You've got to identify the opposition, and Rush did this in a funny way by explaining what a Gorbasm is. We've got a great clip explaining the history of the famous Rush Limbaugh Gorbasm. JASON: (laughing) Well, we're gonna get to it next segment. Anyway, for those of you too young to know, I will explain what a Gorbasm is at that point in time when we get to it. And when we posted the picture at the birthmark that was on Gorbachev's forehead had gone from his to mine. ![]() I heard (impression), "Limbaugh, Ruskie Limbaugh" or something like that.Īnd Gorbachev smiled and cocked his head, looked at me, and we posed for a picture. So he took me over and introduced me, and he introduced me to the interpreter, and I heard the interpreter explain to Gorbachev who I was. I happened to be wearing the exact same color gray suit that Gorbachev was wearing. So finally I went up to James Baker and said, "I'd like to meet Gorbachev." He has no idea." But he kept looking at me. And this baldheaded guy with Gorbachev kept looking at me, and I said, "This guy can't know who I am. Gorbachev was there with that baldheaded interpreter that's been following him around for 30 years. There was a pre-bash in the bowels of the stadium in there, and I showed up for that. I didn't go to the celebration on the field. Bush's 80th birthday, and it was at Reliant Stadium in Houston. It's the 25th anniversary of the fall of Berlin Wall, and the Drive-By Media is out celebrating Mikhail Gorbachev as though he let it happen, as though Gorbachev made it happen. RUSH: We're gonna go back to the Grooveyard of Forgotten Favorites and we are going to have another Gorbasm today, because the Drive-By Media is, in fact, having one. Taking a situation like Mikhail Gorbachev and meeting Gorbachev, and turning it into a funny, funny story like this. That is really, in so many ways, the key to Rush. He was the best in a wide array of topics that made him so listenable. Your marketing manager or your shop manager, whatever, you better know enough to be second best so you know what's going on - and Rush was far from second best. Your accountant better be the best at accounting. You have to be second best at everything," and it's really true that managerial context. I said, "Dad, how do you run a business?" I grew up in a small-business family, and I said, "How do you know this and this and this?" He said, "Jace, in order to run a business, you don't have to be the best at any one thing.
