RUSH: You know what we have learned about the Somali pirates, the merchant marine organizers that were wiped out at the order of Barack Obama, you know what we learned about them? They were teenagers. The Somali pirates, the merchant marine organizers who took a US merchant captain hostage for five days were inexperienced youths, the defense secretary, Roberts Gates, said yesterday, adding that the hijackers were between 17 and 19 years old. Now, just imagine the hue and cry had a Republican president ordered the shooting of black teenagers on the high seas. Greetings and welcome back, Rush Limbaugh, the Excellence in Broadcasting Network and the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.

They were kids. The story is out, I don't know if it's true or not, but apparently the hijackers, these kids, the merchant marine organizers, Muslim kids, were upset, they wanted to just give the captain back and head home because they were running out of food, they were running out of fuel, they were surrounded by all these US Navy ships, big ships, and they just wanted out of there. That's the story, but then when one of them put a gun to the back of the captain, Mr. Phillips, then bam, bam, bam. There you have it, and three teenagers shot on the high seas at the order of President Obama.

Crooks and Liars Link

I don't listen to Rush. Found this on Crooks and Lairs this morning after a guy at my gym told me he said this yesterday. I found that odd in and of itself, that a Mexican guy would be talking about something Rush said. On my way home I noticed a picture of Rush on the cover of the local paper. Not exactly sure what the headline was but I think it was asking "Is this person crazy or stupid?" I turned on the TV and haven't seen anything about this on CNN or MSNBC.

Is this something Rush really said?

Is this a news story up north?
