This is Keith in Atlanta. It's great to have your Keith. How are you doing, sir, I'm great, Rush, Thanks for taking my call. You bet. I've been a listener since the early nineties and I've always been a fan of your nicknames. I think you and Trump have a unique talent for that and one that I've always gotten a chuckle out of that. I almost feel like it's a private joke because I'm not sure that everybody gets it. Is dingy, Harry. I'm pretty sure that I know the
origins of it, and I was wondering if you'd indulge me. Uh, Harry Reid to me was dirty. This is a guy lying about Mitt Romney not paying his tax attend This is a guy who tried to get me censured and apologized for for claiming I was opposed to the US military by creating a phony soldier. This is a guy. And by the way, we raised four million dollars off of the letter. He wrote that the guy that was running Clear Channel at the time was Mark May. And you want to talk about a brave ceo, Mark May's.
He's the one of the sons of Lowry Mays, a founder of Clear Channel. So Dingy Harry that the media matters got this phony thing up. I criticized the guy who was not a soldier, who was passing himself off as a decorated war veteran, ripping into George W. Bush. So the media says, limball rips into some guy, claims he's phony soldier, which he was. Dingie Harry went to the floor of the U. S. Senate to condemn me, a private citizen. I wished my parents were alive to
hear it. And then he demands that Mark Mays do something to me, apologize for me, or what have you. Mark May's gave me the letter that Dingy Harry wrote him, and I auctioned it on eBay as an example of your government attempting to infringe on the free speech rights of an individual citizen me. I promised to match whatever the highest bidder for that letter was. And somebody actually bought that letter for two million dollars two point one
or something. I matched it, so it was over four million dollars that was raised for for Marine Corps Law Enforcement Foundation. Well that's that's that's Harry Reid. Well, so you got Clint Eastwood out, there's dirty Harry. I can't call him dirty Harry because Dirty Harry is already taken. Say, came up with Dingy because dingy is even better. Dingy is dirty and cloudy and murky and filthy. So that that was my thinking on it, Keith, is that what
you assumed? That that's exactly exactly right. And I love it Rush and again it makes me smile every time I hear it said. Thanks a lot for everything that you do. I appreciate that, Thank you very much. I love those kinds of questions. How did you come up with the name of dingy Harry? I think I know, but I'm not sure.
