RUSH: So we have a real hurricane out there, folks. Yes, sir, we have a real hurricane, and from I guess yesterday, maybe the night before yesterday, all day yesterday, and then up until 11 o'clock today, just a little over an hour ago, the excitement was palpable in the Drive-By Media. The Drive-By Media was bringing on their weather experts during what would normally be standard news broadcast times. And there was the track, and the track had it hitting right there at Washington, DC. Maybe somewhere off Maryland, but it was gonna be a disaster, 10 inches of rain minimum, not to mention the winds. It would be a Category 3 hurricane before it gets to the East Coast, and they were gearing up for yet another man-made global warming disaster, and then the National Hurricane Center issued their 11 a.m. track, and it looks like it's going to stay offshore.
Foiled again, ladies and gentlemen, the global warming crowd foiled yet again. As our official climatologist here at the EIB Network, Roy Spencer observed -- and this is true -- if the hurricane had hit the East Coast, we would hear nothing about it. Global warming, that's all we would hear about. But now that it doesn't hit the East Coast, if it doesn't, if it just stays out to sea, we won't hear a thing about anything. We won't hear a thing about the hurricane. We won't hear a thing about global warming. Only if it hit land, and only if it caused some damage, only if there were -- well, what do you get with hurricanes? Lots of rain, lots of wind. That's standard operating procedure for hurricanes. If that had happened, global warming, global warming, climate change, climate change.

RUSH: Of course, I know how to pronounce the name of the hurricane. What do you mean, you don't know how to pronounce it? (interruption) No, it's Joaquin. See, if you didn't take Spanish, you don't know that. J-o-a-q-u-i-n is Joaquin, and so everybody's been wondering where Joaquin is gonna enter the country. And now it looks like Joaquin is not gonna enter the country, and the global warming crowd is distressed, as is the Hurricane Center.

RUSH: This hurricane, you... Mr. Snerdley did not hear this. He was screening calls in the first hour of the program. I mean, up until 11 o'clock this morning, the Hurricane Center and the American left is all excited. "It looks like we're finally gonna get a hurricane strike land! Finally! Finally!" They've been hoping, ever since Katrina. We haven't had a major hurricane strike the continental United States in ten years. That's not good for the climate change movement. They need hurricanes, and they need destructive hurricanes.
