Exploring the "WE" in WEASEL
what this “we” shiite, white eyes?!
Earlier this month, I came to the floor discussing comments made by Rush Limbaugh. Following my remarks, more than 40 of my Senate colleagues and I cosigned a letter to the chairman of Clear Channel, Mark May, telling him that we wanted him to—to confer [*splerque*] with Rush Limbaugh regarding the statements he made. I’ve since spoken to Mark May about this. Mark May [sic - Mays], in fact, called me regarding this letter.
This week, Rush Limbaugh put the original copy of that letter up for auction on eBay. Mr. President, we didn’t have time or we could have gotten every Democratic Senator to sign that letter. But he put the letter up for auction on eBay. And I think very, very constructively, let the proceeds of that to go to the Marine Corps-Law Enforcement Foundation. What is the [bla bla bla] What could be a more worthwhile cause? And I think it’s really good that this money on eBay is going to be raised for this purpose. When I spoke to Mark May—I think that he and I thought this would probably not raise much money, a letter by Democratic Senators complaining about something. This morning, the bid is more than two million on this. We’ve watched it during the week. It keeps going up, and up, and up, and there’s only a little bit of time left on it. But it’s certainly going to be more than two million. Never did we think that this letter would bring money of this nature --the cause, Madam President, extremely good. Now, everyone knows that Rush Limbaugh and I don’t agree on everything in life, and maybe that’s kind of an understatement. But without qualification,[bla bla bla] I don’t know what we could do more important than helping make sure that children of our fallen soldiers and police officers who have fallen in the line of duty have the opportunity for their children to have a good education. Think about this. More than $2 million, this is going to really help. And that’s, again, an understatement. There’s only a little bit of time left.-- so I would ask those that are wanting to do more, that they can go to the Harry Reid, search—actually go on say “Harry Reid letter,” this will come up on eBay. I encourage anyone interested in this with the means to do so to consider bidding on this letter and contributing to this worthwhile cause.
I strongly believe that when we can put our differences aside, even Harry Reid and Rush Limbaugh, we should do that and try to accomplish good things for the American people.
