RUSH: Wait. Stop that just a second. Cue that back up. Stop there for just a second and cue that back up to the top. When Roger stated, ?We have Republicans and Democrats here, as you know, and there?s a tremendous difference between the two.? I shouted, ?Where are the Democrats?? I?m looking around the room. And that?s when Roger said, ?Geraldo.? I don?t know if you could hear me. (interruption) You could. I?m sorry. I couldn?t hear me. So if I think I couldn?t hear? Okay. Here it is from the top once again?

AILES: We have Republicans and Democrats here, as you know, and there?s a tremendous difference between the two.
RUSH: Where are the Democrats?
AUDIENCE: (laughter)
AILES: Geraldo!
AUDIENCE: (laughter and applause)
GERALDO: (unintelligible)
AILES: There is a difference. There?s a story about a guy who was in a balloon, one of those air balloons, a hot air balloon. He was lost and he lowered the altitude, spotted a man down below and descended a bit more and then called out to him. He said, ?Excuse me, can you help me? I promised a friend I?d meet him an hour ago and I don?t know where I am.? The man on the ground consulted his GPS and replied, ?You?re in a hot air balloon approximately 30 feet above ground elevation at 2346 feet above sea level. You are 31 degrees, 14 minutes north latitude; 100 degrees, 49 minutes west longitude.? And the guy in the balloon said, ?You must be a Republican.? And he said, ?I am. How did you know that??
He said, ?Well, everything you told me is technically correct but I have no idea what to make of your information. The fact is I?m still lost ? and, frankly, you haven?t been very much help so far.? The other guy said, ?You must be a Democrat.? He said, ?I am. How did you know that?? He said, ?Well, you don?t know where you?re going or where you?ve been. You?ve risen to where you are on hot air. You made a promise which you have no idea how to keep. You expect me to solve your problem. The fact is you?re in the same place you were before we met and now it?s my fault!?
