>> stephanie miller. ♪ [werewolf howling] >> stephanie: it is the sun devil stadium. 1-800-steph-12 the phone number. >> stephanie: hello, martin. >> caller: hi, steph. >> stephanie: go ahead. >> caller: i want to talk about mitt romney and romney care in massachusetts. romney and his boys weren't in some sort of think tank in the oval office. i've worked in the state house thinking this thing up. basically, it was a grassroots

effort by many many community groups that came up with it. and presented it to romney and in fact, some of the things like the employee mandate he was not crazy about but mitt, being a man of conviction, putting his middle finger in his mouth put as high as he could and decided politically, this was a great thing to do. but he went along with romney care. he really didn't develop it. i don't think he should be getting that much credit. >> stephanie: by the way, he took -- he was going to be the most pro-gay rights governor than ted kennedy and now -- he's lost his caddie was forced out. >> forced out by caddiier evangelicals. >> richard, his openly gay aide has resigned. >> he resigned on his first day. >> stephanie: oh yeah. you can't play in the reindeer games very long on the republican side.

>> we won't let rudolph join in any reindeer games! >> stephanie: hired as mitt romney's foreign policy spokesman resigned suggesting the focus on his personal life on the gay had become a distraction. the romney campaign has hired richard grinnell who served as george w. bush's spokesman two weeks ago but his brief tenure had been the subject of controversy only because -- controversial only because -- it is controversial to be a gay these days in the republican party. he was criticized for posting a series of crude twitter messages that he later deheated. i think we've all learned that twitter is forever. [ applause ] >> maybe he was trying to outrude the rude pundit. >> stephanie: he had attacked several women including hillary clinton, and newt gingrich's wife calista. meow! he reportedly came underfire from social conservatives for being gay. while he welcome the challenge to confront president obama's

failed foreign policies -- weak leadership on the world stage, my ability to speak clearly and forcefully on the issues have been greatly diminished by hyperpartisan discussion of issues that sometimes comes from a presidential campaign. i want to thank governor romney for his belief in me and his clear message that being openly gay was a nonissue for him and his team. [wa-wa] >> stephanie: again, he's been pushed so far in the right in this republican primary by the homophobes and others that there's no going back now. that's the problem. by the way the headline is santorum wants promises from romney before backing. he won't get behind romney. you don't want santorum that close behind you unless you're -- rick santorum wants to ensure the republicans policy platform represents conservatives' interest like gay bashing. newt gingrich wants help retiring his campaign debt. and probably a new account

opened for calista. each wants assurance romney will deliver for them, neither rushing toward the task. ron paul will go that way. he's still in the race and hasn't recognized romney as the party's nominee. he probably hasn't poked his head out of his cartoon suit. >> i'm not going to admit he's the nominee. >> mitt who? >> stephanie: lee in florida you're on "the stephanie miller show." hi lee. >> caller: hi. i just wanted to -- to bring up three real quick pieces of hipocracy in a sea of republican hipocracy. first is the guy who romney was standing by yesterday giuliani. a man who uses 9-11 in every other word that he spoke during the 2008 election. and next was mr. brown who votes against obama care yet has his 23-year-old daughter on his plan. >> stephanie: yep.

>> caller: last but certainly not least is mr. alan west. last year when the congressional black caucus took their jobs on the road mr. west sends his brother to the congressional-backed caucus job fair. a bunch of communists to find him a job. i wanted to bring these three items up. >> stephanie: all right, honey. thank you. i hear there are three groups gunning for -- clearly communist groups gunning for alan west's seat. in florida. kitty in california. hi kitty. >> caller: hi. how are you, stephanie? >> stephanie: good, go ahead. >> caller: i go way back with you. i was one of your spotters for furniture for the first time when you were out in california and you were looking to furniture your first place. >> stephanie: wait a minute. you sell furniture? >> caller: no. she was the furniture spotter. on the freeway. a couch in lane four. i would call you right away. >> i remember when you used to do that.

>> stephanie: wow. i have no memory of my own life. all right, go ahead. >> caller: i've been a steph-head forever. anyway, i have to tell you, i'm one of your marinated salmons swimming upstream in a sea full of conservatives. i got myself a sticker. i'm taking my chances backing out of the garage. >> stephanie: exactly. i've been there. been there, done that. all right, kitty. >> caller: kitty is my name the litter. [ laughter ] >> stephanie: good kitty. 29 minutes. >> such a good kitty. >> stephanie: 29 minutes. >> who is the pretty kitty? >> stephanie: 29 minutes after the hour. snl actress extraordinaryaire rachel dratch next on "the stephanie miller show."

teen with jimmy fallon and the queen of depressing, debbie downer, rachel dratch joins us now. good morning, rachel. >> hi. >> stephanie: thanks so much for taking time for us. >> thank you guys. >> stephanie: hilarious book, girl walks into a bar. what a hilarious title. >> thank you. >> stephanie: the subtitle is comedy calamities and dating disasters. tell us what you're referring to. >> that's the whole book in a little phrase there. comedy calamities, i start out talking about showbiz and comedy and what it is like to be on snl. then after snl things kind of slowed down for me so then i started writing up these little stories that something funny would happen in my day. that's how the book came to be. then when i had all of this time on my hands i'll do all of the things i didn't have time for when i was on the show. i tried to be better about dating and forced myself to go on dates. those are the dating disasters.

i'm telling the book in 30 seconds. give up on the whole dating thing. eventually walk into a bar girl walks into a bar. and meets a guy who eventually becomes my baby daddy. i was almost 44 with this surprise pregnancy at 44. that's my life story in a nutshell. >> stephanie: wow. and seen. thanks for coming in. as they say at improv, seen. it is hilarious. i love the tolerating the usual well-meaning advice by married friends, it will happen when you're not looking. >> that's the phrase you hear from people that are in a nice relationship. it happens when you're not looking. exactly. >> stephanie: you are hilarious at recounting your history of dating all of the wrong guys, the alcoholic the pothead, the sex addict though he wasn't addicted to sex with you. >> yeah, that was my dating history going in. so, i was trying to have my

radar up to find a nice guy instead of my typical fare. >> stephanie: you have to -- you obviously talk in the book about the challenges of going through pregnancy, childbirth, new parenthood while you were still in the courtship phase of this relationship. can i ask are you still with him or no? >> i am. that's what i thought would make the funny book because it was such a unique situation of having a baby with someone that you've been dating six months long distance. so the way we forged through every little step but how hard it is to go through pregnancy a newborn when you're married with someone you know really well and then here we were thrown into this together. so it definitely had some comic outcomes for sure. yeah, like trying to still be flirtatious when you're dealing with breast pumps and all of that stuff is kind of a challenge. >> stephanie: can i ask what was the phone call like? >> oh, my god. i was still in so much shock myself when i learned i was

pregnant. then i had to call him up and he was driving and i said call me back when you get home because i didn't want to have him drive off the road or something. at first, we were both just incredulous. he didn't really -- he just wanted me to take another test. we couldn't believe it. then when it was real, i think we were numb for about a month or so then we started, i don't know, trying to decide what was going to happen. >> stephanie: wow. >> i sort of told him because he lived in san francisco at the time. anyway, he ended up moving here because he didn't want to have a kid growing up across the country. so, he's very involved as a dad. >> stephanie: now you're going to be on stage as a symbol of family values. >> we've moved forward. family values, exactly. >> stephanie: you know, it is interesting. you talk about -- first of all god, you worked with everyone. stephen colbert, tina fey when you were coming up in improv. what is it like to work at that

level with those kind of people? >> well, i started at second city in chicago. steven colbert and carell, they were all ahead of me. you knew they were so special even then. so you got to sort of watch and learn. i mention in the book like amy she was so funny. she was like this pretty little girl who would make her face do the most screwed up things. she was sort of a role model of mine. she wasn't afraid to look weird you know. and yeah, you kind of learn something, an amazing writer. she was so smart of course back then. and so you just kind of glean little tips and comedy tricks off of everyone you're around. >> stephanie: instead of ripping everyone off. >> you all kind of raise the bar for each other. >> stephanie: oh sure. you're younger than i am. who isn't. but you had the same experience i did. watching snl.

in your case, you were in fourth grade. you had all of the favorites i did, the cone head, rosanna danna, mr. bill, right? >> mm-hmm. yeah, i started watching the very first season and i was sort of hooked into it. i was like what is this crazy world? i knew it was something really special but i also knew half of the jokes were probably going over my head. i would watch it every saturday and mike my little sleepover friends watch it. they would fall asleep and i would stick it through every week. >> i was in high school but all of the same stuff. you said to your friends never mind. oh, no! >> yeah, yeah. >> stephanie: that was the language we spoke, right? >> exactly. >> stephanie: so then you developed into the class clown in junior high. did four summers of theatre camp. is that like band camp? >> yeah, pretty much. >> stephanie: yeah. then you headed to dartmouth. by the way, you had planned to become a psychologist. is that where debbie downer came

from? >> maybe. i would have these fantasies but it was sort of in the same field. sort of discovering weirdos is probably the same as a comedienne. >> stephanie: you say dartmouth, a jewish girl from suburban boston, you felt out of place. i was about to encounter of species of humans i had never met, i speak of the wasp. >> dartmouth was chock-full of wasps. it is a little more diverse now. this is over 20 years ago. so, yeah, it was kind of this society hadn't really encountered before. so i felt a little out of place. eventually i found the improv group there and that's when i kind of felt i had my little gang. >> stephanie: i share your hope as you say that your agent will call with something more interesting than the mutant lesbian best friends part. >> those are the parts coming up the pike for me after snl. actually, ironically enough, right when the book came out i got a part on an nbc show. so i'm waiting to see if it gets

picked up. we shot the pilot already. after all of my lamenting sitting around, the job comes right when the book happens. >> stephanie: exactly. >> so, i might be on a show in the fall if it goes through. >> stephanie: how old is the baby? >> 20 months. >> congratulations. >> stephanie: how long do you have to count in months? >> i've always wondered. i used to hate when people say the month thing. i was about to say a little over a year and a half. >> i think at age two, you can stop at the month. >> just wanted to know. >> congratulations on that and we really are -- will be hoping and praying for the series because you're hilarious. the book is hilarious. girl walks into a bar. pick it up. thank you so much. >> stephanie: there she goes. how cute is she? adorable. [ applause ] >> she is. >> stephanie: i like the boston sketch. dave in minneapolis you're on "the stephanie miller show." good morning dave. >> caller: i was going to tell you about a year ago right when

obama was executed, killed, whatever word we're using today i was talking with two rather conservative people at work and -- about the whole event. one of them says well -- about obama's speech, i really don't know if i like the way he kept saying i, i did this, i did that. i said who did order it then? the guy from pizza hut or what? who ordered it. then the other one goes well, you know, who are we really to think we can go in and take one person's life? >> stephanie: please, the president is so mean. he assassinated him. >> i looked at her and i said as opposed to him -- bin laden taking 3,000 lives? what kind of -- economy do you work with here? and she looked at me and turned red and walked away. i remember turning away, getting back to my desk and talking to a more liberal friend of mine. i'm convinced that dumb is the new black. [ laughter ]

>> stephanie: bill in michigan. you're on the sun devil "the stephanie miller show." >> caller: i've got a couple of comments about romney. >> stephanie: romney yes. >> caller: surprised i got through. i got cut off the last time called you. >> stephanie: sorry. >> caller: the call got dropped. neither here nor there. he made a few comments about killing bin laden. but i think the first lobbyist that waved a big fat check in his face, he would do whatever they told him to do. >> stephanie: that's what he said. it is not worth the money? it wasn't worth the money to kill bin laden? iraq and afghanistan were? and we still didn't get him with those wars? >> that's all that matters to him. >> stephanie: 44 minutes after the hour. right back on "the stephanie miller show." wow! i don't believe it. this is too good to be real! of course this is real! >> announcer: it's "the stephanie miller show."

engaged -- former president carter took the opportunity and served. >> stephanie: yeah, yeah. i thought that was kind of a cheap shot, wasn't it? at carter. and so current by the way. >> caller: he almost called it an apology. when you elect -- you elect to wear a uniform and you vacation in france, while others do serve when duty calls, it is a cheap shot. >> stephanie: even david fromme, george bush's speechwriter said he needs new writers. that seemed petty. >> correct me if i'm wrong but wasn't carter like a nuclear physicist on a nuclear submarine? so carter's wicked smart. >> stephanie: like that's rocket science. >> i could have done that. >> stephanie: carol in florida ♪ wheel of right wing hypocrites ♪ >> caller: hi, there, stephanie. kudos to current for doing a great service by allowing our

voices to be heard! >> stephanie: thank you. >> caller: i want to say that i am a 76-year-old on medicare and i want the same healthcare coverage as hypocrite scott brown and all of the other governors, senators, congressmen that our taxpayer money pays for. and that west is the freakiest man i know. i live in florida, believe me, oh, god! >> stephanie: scott brown, this is the part that really chafes your butt, doesn't it? a tea party champion, great proponent of the president's healthcare act. he ran on it. his 23-year-old daughter is one of the americans who is benefitting -- his healthcare. >> that's true. and it hurts people like us when they start saying that they're going to do away with romney naturally gets in. with medicare. listen. we paid our dues. we've done it. why in the world do these young

governors come out and think they can take advantage of the whole system? and they are taking advantage of the system. by allowing his daughter to be on. that's the new law now, you know with obama care. that's a good benefit. a terrific benefit for families with children in college and all of this. this is a terrific benefit. >> stephanie: the difference carol is that if obama care is overturned, he's got means to insure his daughter. most people don't. most people, that's really helping their kids. >> they all have money. every one of them have enough money. this doesn't help the middle class or the poor. it does not. he's nothing but a hypocrite. he needs to be called on this and big-time! there are many many more out there just like him. >> stephanie: a hippocrat as well which is worse than a hypocrite. dave in tennessee you're on "the stephanie miller show." hi, dave. >> caller: good morning. >> stephanie: good morning. >> caller: i'm still loving your show. >> stephanie: thank you. >> was there a danger of you not loving the show?

>> caller: i would like to make a comment on the retirement age that the republicans are wanting to raise, you know. so bad. okay. i'm 62 and i just retired. and what they don't seem to understand is you know, if you had a job that you could sit all day like they do and run their mouth, retiring at 70 would be okay. but i worked in a factory for -- until i retired. i worked in a factory for 30 some years. >> stephanie: yep. >> caller: by the time you get to 60 years old believe me, if you do labor every day which they don't understand -- like the autoworkers and everyone does, you know that you're wore out when you hit 60 years old. >> stephanie: yeah, that's right. >> caller: it is people that are wore out that are in nursing homes now in their early 60s. >> stephanie: i hear you. mitt romney doesn't understand with his chick hands. he has rich guy chick hands.

i hope he continues to like us. it seems we're on double secret probation or something. >> i still like you. >> all right. >> stephanie: you know what? >> it could change. >> stephanie: a couple of retirees call in today. i'm guessing my people are my funs. drunkenly tote granddaughters in a hot wheels car behind their suv. nobody was hurt. >> a little fun was had. >> the best worst grandparents of all-time took their grabbed daughter on a joyride. paul and belinda used dog leashes to tie her hot wheels car to their suv and proceeded to drive her wrong. paul was drunk driving without a license because he had it revoked ten years ago. belinda was riding in the cargo area with the rear hatch open cheering the child on. they told the deputy they knew it was dangerous but it was fun and they had been doing it all day. >> and drinking all day apparently. [ applause ]

>> "the stephanie miller show." >> stephanie: fun loving grandparents drunkenly tote granddaughter in her hot wheels behind the car. they were arrested for dui and driving without a license. my favorite part of the police report, i forgot to get to, the deputy estimated hot wheels was traveling between 5 and 10 miles per hour when she was stopped. she almost got a speeding ticket in addition to the dui that her

grandparents received. that's the rest of the story. >> it kind of sounds like fun. i don't know what the problem is. >> wear a helmet. >> stephanie: good time was had by all. no injuries. all's well that ends well. >> buzz kill. sheesh! >> stephanie: all right. we have charlie pierce whom i love from esquire.com coming up right after the top of the hour here. we'll continue to spike the football. on osama bin laden, right wing world and much more and now jacki schechner in the current news center. hi jacki. >> hi, stephanie. good morning everyone. when newt gingrich retires his campaign at 3:00 this afternoon he's going to leave two things behind. the first is a debt to the tune of about $4 million now. "usa today" reporting that romney and the rnc have agreed to help him pay that down a little bit but creditors and campaign staffers are skeptical they're ever going to get reimbursed. >> the second thing he leaves behind is ron paul who is the last competitor for mitt romney. his loyalists won't make it easy for romney to slide unscathed

into the convention. loyalists have blocked half of romney's preferred delegates in massachusetts and they're scheming with moderate success to do something similar in georgia and alaska. paul wants to have some influence one the g.o.p. agenda or platform rather come fall. let's go down to florida where tampa's mayor has asked governor rick scott to ban firearms from the downtown tampa area during the convention and scott has refused. politico got its hands on a letter from scott to the mayor and what he talks about there is that there is a city ordinance right now that's banning -- or regulating rather sticks poles and water guns. scott says he's not going to ban firearms based on the second amendment but really what we're saying now is that water guns are okay. real guns not so much. real guns rather are okay. water guns is not. i got that backwards. finally, homeland security secretary janet napolitano is telling "the associated press" she thinks there is no basis for allegations that secret service agents misbehaved on a trip to el salvador in 2011.

she says that while interviews will likely continue, she does not think that there's any evidence of a larger problem with the agency's culture. we'll be right back.

[ laughter ] >> stephanie: threw the whole schedule off. >> stephanie: you said so it happens i'm traveling.

in massachusetts and nebraska, i'm picking up the news in dribs and drabs where the wi-fi is in the midst of hamsters. >> i settled into a nice place where i can get wi-fi. the blog is up and running. it was tough in the airport. i'm not sure why. o'hare airport seemed to be stubbornly bad at wi-fi. >> i think it was the monkeypox. oh wait. >> stephanie: so charlie great piece on obama 2012 bin laden in willard's 3:00 a.m. phone call. can you believe this? he's politicizing killing bin laden. he's politicizing his own competence. how dare he? >> i'm not exactly sure how that's different from -- it is different at the basic level from romney saying that obama doesn't understand the economy because he's never been -- never thrown people out of work or something. >> stephanie: because he's never been a vulture capitalist.

>> we certainly take a certain level of intelligence and expertise for granted. i'm amazed by the notion that anyone would be offended at you know, a president who has a singular foreign policy triumphant, he might use that to stay president. >> stephanie: however romney is all aflutter. my dear young chap, that's simply not done. it is rude. >> the other thing is john mccain is going around telling people they shouldn't brag about being a hero? [ laughter ] the man would not have a political career. >> stephanie: i love that. there were apparently no clouds in the sky at which john mccain could yell so he waited on the dreadful inappropriateness of it all. >> i've had the great honor of serving in the company of heroes. you know the thing about heroes? they don't brag. >> never has been a campaign commercial in any of john mccain's campaign that showed him in a naval uniform. everything was a body double. >> oh, sure. >> absolutely nothing to do with that. >> who is john mccain

actually? >> stephanie: here he is. >> always good when the president goes to where young men and women are in harm's way and i think that how many of us who have been involved in afghanistan are very supportive of the strategic partnership agreement which i'm sure we'll be talking about. and we think the agreement is good. we obviously would like to know the details. >> stephanie: i was going to say bitter table of one your table is ready. you make the analogy too. you say it is the same thing hillary clinton did with the 3:00 a.m. ad, you're not ready to be commander in chief. when clinton campaign made their ad, they did so on behalf of the candidate who had no more experience than barack obama. in the present case, the president actually gave the order. >> yeah. there's a difference between -- between i would do that now that i've seen that it has worked out and i actually did that. and let us not even begin to try

to estimate the volume -- the volume of the screeching from the flying monkeys if this thing hadn't worked out. >> stephanie: you also made the same point i did about the fact that what makes it fair game is, as you point out, what romney said back in 2007. >> i mean i know he's desperate for us not to count the last campaign. because he and ann just decided this at their kitchen table last february that he was going to run for president again. forget the fact his pac has been up and running and he's written a campaign biography two years before they had this alleged conversation. nothing that he did in 2007 or certainly as governor of massachusetts counts. he gets a pass on those. >> stephanie: you also made the same point about what a cheap shot that was at jimmy carter. this from a man whose toughest decision is which house to sleep in. >> i thought i was tough when i read jim and the atlantic blog who used to work for jimmy carter. he has reduced mitt to a pile of

smoking meat by the side of the highway. guys died when jimmy carter made that decision. and republicans haven't stopped yapping about it yet. >> stephanie: yeah. >> this would have been a failure of democratic foreign policy for the next 40 years. >> stephanie: you wrote -- maybe one of my favorite charlie pierce lines which is really saying something. you said the reason for all of the dust being thrown up is every time he talks about foreign policy, he's a blindfolded man in a yard full of rakes. >> he has a track record of -- he wrote -- a couple of years he wrote a piece for "the washington post" about arms control and i'm no expert either but the people who actually are they haven't stopped laughing at it yet. >> stephanie: he flirted with advocating a trade war with china. they slip and call russia the soviet union. of course he did make the bobsleds run on time so there's that. it really -- i think it is like we're going --

>> it appears they're backing off a little bit of it now. i think they realize this really was the wrong fight to pick. >> stephanie: yeah. >> not just that. criticizing someone for politicizing something. i'm sorry. but i don't think anyone should politicize the olympic ideal. >> stephanie: he said that when he was with rudy giuliani in new york who would never ever think of politicizing 9-11. >> he said it at a fire station which has nothing to do with 9-11. >> stephanie: i think the president kind of trounced him on photo ops yesterday, didn't he? a little bit. >> that was a good-looking photo op with the humvees in the background and stuff. that was very -- looks like he was doing some serious presidenting over there. >> and signing treaties. >> and signing treaties. if you look at the blog, i'm a little bit unsure about the treaty. i don't want to get mom upset. i'm not sure why we're committing -- why we think that afghanistan is likely to be anymore free when we leave in

2012 than it is right now. >> these trees aren't the right height. >> stephanie: i think he's trying to counteras what you know as the republican criticism, taliban will wait us out if we say day certain that we're leaving. it is political season, as you know. >> i hope it is more than that. we've now committed ourselves to hamid karzai for the foreseeable future. while he does dress well and a number of fine-looking hats. not exactly sure he's a committed democrat if you know what i mean. small d. >> stephanie: i love your piece on voter i.d. this is one of the things we've been talking about. good on the obama people for taking on the campaign of voter suppression at the voter level. talk about that for a second. >> they're training people. this, i think, goes back to the techniques developed in mississippi where they're training people in the ins and outs and subtleties and various subparagraphs of the statewide voter i.d. laws so you would have a -- you know, a way to challenge them based on --

there's no way to shotgun this thing because there are differences in the voter i.d. laws from state to state. and they're apparently training people to deal with all of them which i think is a really good idea because i think there are going to be several really nasty scenes at local polling places in the next election. >> stephanie: yeah. >> ly guarantee you that the -- that there are thousands of people who haven't been following this very closely who will show up to vote and be told they can't. >> charlie, we've been talking about this. as pathetic as we think mittens is, the gallup daily has them tied. don't underestimate the obama derangement syndrome. >> not just that. the economy -- and i think -- he hasn't sold what he's trying to do on the economy very well. the republicans have been able to create a narrative. as long as the economy seems at best recovering slowly, they've got a shot. let's not even get into the fact that the number of states they control and the number of therefore local -- because we

refused to have a system of national voting. there's some real possibility for mischief. there's some real possibility that the mischief is now legal. >> stephanie: you particularly enjoy the latest flip-flop for romney who is going to mean pro gay rights than ted kennedy. >> i'm blogging about that as we speak. >> stephanie: he appointed a gay guy and he's bye-bye gone already. because he's gay. >> not just that. but he was twittering nasty things about calista gingrich and our friend, rachel madow. >> rachel doesn't wear enough pearls around her neck, i guess. >> certainly not as many as he does. >> stephanie: see what you did there, charlie pierce. we'll read it. >> i'll tell you one thing when romney says he loves hiring people, he's not kidding it. >> they fired him on his first day on the job. that takes some doing. >> stephanie: that was a flip-flop. i'm pro gay you're hired.

you're fired. >> can't you see the moving guy carrying the boxes into the office then turns right around and leaving? >> stephanie: i'm sorry the evangelicals don't like it. >> you're fired. >> the guy is a spokesman for john bolton and a spokesman for mitt romney and within five minutes, he's an npad worker. >> stephanie: charlie pierce talk to you next week, honey. yay! see you next tuesday. >> he did say see you next tuesday. >> he did. >> what does he mean by that? >> that's not an acronym or anything, is it? >> stephanie: not the first time i've been called that. 17 minutes after the hour. kids, big commerce. brand new sponsor. i'm telling you, i'm not making this up. chris can confirm this. i made him come and do computer tech work because i buy everything online. i hate driving parking, all of that stuff.

i didn't want to butter my bread >> stephanie: 1-800-steph-12. david in jersey, you're on "the stephanie miller show." >> caller: hi, stephanie. how you doing? >> stephanie: good. go ahead. >> caller: the righties are getting upset about the word forward in obama's slogan. they're saying it is communist. and nazi. but there is a 2004 george w. bush -- >> stephanie: yet, whenever you say anything about bush, why don't you just move forward stop looking backward. stop blaming. >> caller: his film, which you can see on youtube is called "moving america forward" and there is a bush number one book called looking forward that you can get on amazon. the best one is the wisconsin state motto. just forward. the state motto. we can all kind of recall what's going on there. right? [circus sounds] >> the slogan of the democrats who are not nazis or communists.

>> stephanie: by the way, i love this. stephen king is a really good writer. who knew. i know him mostly as owning two of my radio stations in bangor. >> bangor? i just met her. >> i think he's a wonderful radio station owner. >> stephanie: he has the good taste to air "the stephanie miller show." >> thank you mr. king. >> we would like to bangor. >> stephanie: his headline, stephen king, tax me for [ bleep ] >> he's a filthy writer. >> stephanie: he writes the iconic writer stole the super rich for not getting back and warns of the apocalyptic scenario is not addressed in america. >> it will be the stand. totally. >> stephanie: how can you not love an article that starts chris christie may be fat but he ain't santa claus. he's unable to decide if he's jersey's governor or its regime.

it may be american discourse his brash rudeness is often taken for charm. christie was asked about warren buffett saying he should be paid less than his secretary. write a check and shut up. at a rally in florida i pointed out i was paying taxes of roughly 28% of my income. my question was how come i'm not paying 50%. the governor of new jersey did not respond possibly being too busy at the all you can eat choose buffet. >> i love stephen king. >> plenty of other people did. cut a check and shut up. if you want to pay more, pay more. they're tired of hearing it. tough [ bleep ] for you guys because i'm not tired of talking about it. the majority would rather douse their [ bleep ] in lighter fluid than pay one more cent in taxes to uncle sugar. >> chris christie is the crackle. >> stephanie: buy some more radio stations.

infrastructure. look into it! >> maybe. >> stephanie: because some other companies make business decisions like right wing shows in my slot that lose 90% of the ratings -- did i mention that again? >> oops. >> maybe stephen king could at least buy a hat. >> there you go. >> sexyliberal.com. colleen in michigan. >> caller: hi, i'm calling. i've been yelling at the radio. somebody just said what i said, if it would with have gone wrong on obama, it would have been all on him but because it went right, he can't talk about it. >> stephanie: every ad would have been about this. >> i could have done that. >> caller: up here in northern rural michigan, we need you. we love you! you are just -- can't imagine what a breath of fresh air and intelligence you are. you guys are the best ever! we love you. >> stephanie: thank you, colleen. >> caller: i ine love you more than howard stern. i love howard stern.

you're making more sense than him these days. love you. >> stephanie: thank you, love you, too. >> howard stern has mentioned he loves you. >> stephanie: i don't remember that. i love him. i love you howard. yes, i will take off my top. he loves it when -- >> he just wants to ask you about lesbian sex. >> when rachel was on his show, that's what he asked her about. >> that's the main thesis of her book. >> stephanie: i'm sure that's what she got a rhodes scholarship for. >> when you walk into howard stern studio, you have to expect that. >> stephanie: my book is about military -- okay, hot lesbian sex is hot. yes, it is, howard. [ applause ] >> stephanie: i went to stanford. by the way, i was talking about stephen king and taxes. i mention this alan grayson earlier. this is what exposes to the republicans to me. taking control of the house they offset the cost of everything right?

emergency disaster relief. for the first time in our country. unemployment benefits, they're willing to gut safety net programs including medicare, you gotta offset everything. the bush tax cuts, of course, they expire at the end of 2012. they're not offering anything -- you don't have to pay for those. those are free, i guess. it wipes out the entire -- [magical sounds] >> it wipes out the entire deficit reduction they could have ever claimed to have achieved. so they're -- >> they're being irresponsible. >> stephanie: it falls on its face, their arguments. >> plus they want to do what the world bank has been doing to europe with austerity. britain's economy is dead now thanks to the plan. >> stephanie: 29 minutes after the hour. right wing world next on "the stephanie miller show."

"meet the parents"? >> the wizard of oz.

>> stephanie: jeff in massachusetts. hi, jeff welcome. >> caller: how you doing steph. long time watcher, first time caller. >> stephanie: thank you. you mean on tv. you're not stalking me right? >> caller: perhaps i am by default. anyways -- >> stephanie: creepy. >> caller: all of these people say mitt has such a great personality and such. >> stephanie: who says that? >> caller: his wife. a few other misguided souls. but it reminds me of my days when i was in high school and i was going to go on a blind date. they told me what a great personality the girl had. i knew i was in trouble. >> stephanie: he's wild and crazy, jim, on the inside. >> i'm whack. >> whatever the kids are saying. the kids were saying that in 1989. >> stephanie: who let those dogs out woof. let's dive into the right wing world. oh, gosh. rush limbaugh is going to say something bad about the president. does this happen ever? >> to give the go ahead to take

out an unsuspecting terrorist with the best navy seal team america has, what's that obama wants the credit for. wasn't in charge of the operation. we had the details of that story yesterday. obama can't help it. he's narcissist. world revolves around him as you know. so he has to put the spotlight on himself. which is wrong. a guy who gives money to charity only for the press release and maybe gets his name on the medical building that they name after him for giving them money. >> stephanie: he's narcissist because he thinks he's what? commander in chief so he gave the order. who do you think you are? >> wow. >> stephanie: there he is riding in the big planes. gotta have a big plane because he's a narcissist. okay. sean hannity.

>> if president obama had his way by opposing rendition and black outer ops and enhanced interrogation, if he had his way on these things, we wouldn't have gotten the intelligence. >> come on. ♪ you're a lying sack of crap ♪ >> stephanie: senator feinstein and schumer said that yesterday that this is a complete lie to imply that they got bin laden because of torture. >> imagine that, sean hannity lied to his audience. ♪ la, la, la, la, la, la liar ♪ >> stephanie: bill o'reilly on the president. >> so the question becomes is mr. obama exploiting the death of bin laden for political purposes. only you can make that call. but i can say -- i think what the president has done is a huge campaign mistake. last night on the factor, senator john mccain was

furious over the way mr. obama attacked mr. romney. supporters of the president will see it differently, of course. independents might think what the president has done falls into the cheap shot category. >> stephanie: john mccain is furious over dryer lint. john mccain is an angry old man. john mccain is -- >> i put in a dryer sheet and there's still lint. ugh! >> my angry crotchety grandpa. >> sir, this card is expired. >> it is good for a lifetime. >> well, yours expired. >> john mccain is upset we went from corded phones to cordless phone. >> i'm angry about air. >> stephanie: by the way, i mentioned this earlier a former george bush speechwriter david fromme made the same point. if the raid had gone badly, president obama would with have had to wear the blame. because it went well, he gets to -- i don't think they should deny him any smidgen of credit. he also said what do you call when he was asked about the

remark about president carter, he said he needs better writers. petty. unnecessary. all right. dana, your friend from the dana show. >> it has nothing to do with rights. i've never seen people care less for gay rights than progressives. if so, tell me why their president, our president their candidate entertained the muslim brotherhood in the white house. >> what? >> the muslim brotherhood because they're such best friends with the gays. such best friends that they kill them on site. >> what is she talking about? the muslim brotherhood? >> when did he have a dinner for the muslim brotherhood? >> stephanie: i'm guessing that he didn't. that whole thing was based on -- >> lies. >> crap. >> her husband likes to use the "n" word in jokes so what do you expect? >> stephanie: what a lucky guy he must be. that voice 24/7. [ laughter ] all right.

sean harris, anti-gay pastor in south carolina. speaking of the gay. >> this pastor has been speaking out for that amendment to the north carolina constitution that would make illegal for gays to marry. >> michelle reiner sent this to me. she also said i have excellent posture. thank you. from catholic school. >> this guy has been speaking out. this was in his sermon. you part of the muslim brotherhood? >> no, she's sean harris. >> dads, the second you see your son dropping the limp wrist you walk over there and crack that wrist. man up! give him a good punch. okay. you're not going to act like that. you were made by god to be a male and you're going to be a male and when your daughter starts acting too butch you reign her in. >> shoot her in the head. >> you say oh, no!

you can play sports. play them until the glory of god. sometimes you can act like a girl and walk like a girl and talk like a girl and smell like a girl. that means you're going to be beautiful, you're going to be attractive and dress yourself up. >> if you don't, i'll kill you! >> stephanie: that part was jim ward. >> unbelievable. >> stephanie: oh, my god! >> stephanie: wow, what does a girl smell like? >> i'm guessing he doesn't know. >> based on his tirade. >> stephanie: wow! i just got -- >> limp wrist, break it. >> stephanie: i just got winded like when i got hit by a dodgeball in fourth grade. i'm winded. >> punch your son if he starts acting feminine. >> stephanie: yikes. this is depressing news. 55% of north carolina voters support the amendment to ban gay marriage. 41% oppose it. polls show opponents have done a

poor job of show hing what's in it. the poll -- people who knew it bans it bans it by 30% to 68%. i have feared the same thing is happening there that happened in california where it was confusing and there was a lot of mormon money coming in here and a lot of different factors than -- i think -- what was the -- our, a lot of people thought that the null meant -- it meant the opposite. exactly. >> there is only one solution. my 89-year-old republican mother needs to get off her bridge playing duff and get out there and start talking about this in north carolina. stand up for your nonsweet smelling daughter! >> your butch daughter. >> your butch sports playing daughter. >> stephanie: i would give anything to have -- mom stand up and say oh dear, i love my butch daughter. she was always a little dike. >> were you? >> stephanie: she was always a little junior dike tomboy. >> were you? >> stephanie: yes!

oh, dear god. we'll find some pictures. >> you're of the lipstick variety now. >> stephanie: i don't know how many times dad would take me and my brother to breakfast and they would say is it you and your two sons. i never took my jacket off. i wore it for years. >> soft wall? really? >> stephanie: they were still shocked when i told them? [ laughter ] >> stephanie: all right. dick on hannity. >> the president of the united states to single out individuals who contributed to his opponent's campaign with the clear implication that they could be audited by the i.r.s. they could be cut off from federal funds all kinds of things the president can do. the more this president campaigns on divisiveness, the more he reminds me of richard nixon. >> stephanie: oh, i see. okay. that was one of the nicest analogies all week about barack obama. usually, he's hitler or satan so

nixon? eh. all right, thank you dick. >> wow, they're desperate. >> stephanie: james in boston, welcome to "the stephanie miller show." >> caller: thank you very much. after the last four or five sound bytes, my head is exploding. bizarre! very fast. evidently, mitt romney, rush limbaugh and all of those people that have very strange seem to have amnesia about barack obama. 's so-called exploiting the bin laden capture. at least he wasn't flown on to the deck of a carrier with a flight suit standing in front of mission accomplished. >> stephanie: after accomplishing nothing, james. >> caller: yeah, i know. it is ridiculous. these people have am near sha. if you go on the web sites and take a look at the posting boards, all of these little zombies repeat the same thing. they have am amnesia. they don't remember anything

more than two years ago. >> stephanie: hi james. >> caller: i'm glad there are so many james on today. such a good name. >> stephanie: yes. >> caller: i wanted to say you guys were talking yesterday, i think about romney saying he would have done the same thing in detroit that the president did. >> stephanie: apparently the bailout was his idea. >> caller: he would have done exactly what another politician did. that's an endorsement so it is very nice of mitt romney to endorse the president. >> stephanie: very nice. 45 minutes after the hour. back with celebrity stack and the remaining moments of "the stephanie miller show." >> announcer: there is a tea party in her pants and you're invited. call 1-800-steph-12.

[ whistle ] >> wow, there is a blast from the past. i haven't played that one in awhile. >> stephanie: mittens talking about how rude it is to take credit for your success. >> i acknowledged a year ago when this was announced that the president deserved credit for the decision he made. i continue to believe that and would with have taken that action myself. >> i would have done that. big deal! >> stephanie: whatever. okay. mittens. >> i thought it was a mistake of him as a candidate for the president of the united states to announce he would go in. as i did, we reserve the right to go where we feel it is appropriate to secure the interest of the united states of

america. >> he should have tied bin laden to the top of his station wagon. >> stephanie: bad form. we don't do that at the country club. josh in bellingham, washington. welcome. >> caller: hey, there. this is your multifighting pastry chef. yeah. it is okay now. >> stephanie: okay. >> caller: i don't know what all girls smell like. my wife smells like vanilla. i'm betting that stephanie miller smells like salt and vinegar potato chips. >> she kind of does. >> stephanie: i do not! >> balsamic vinegar. >> stephanie: i smell like disappointment and broken dreams. [wawa] >> stephanie: it is a musty smell. >> vanilla?

>> stephanie: from grubber norquist endorse richard more dock over dick luger because he didn't sign a stupid pledge. this is what happened to the republican party. >> they're being held hostage. >> orrin hatch with a 99% conservative rating is not conservative enough. he's getting tea bagged. norquist and a handful of other profiles including sarah palin will back him. this is -- it is just provable how far right these people have gone. bristol palin, did you see this? she defends her mom as v.p. pick. she's tired -- y'all, i'm tired of people saying john mccain was wrong. >> you guys! >> stephanie: guys, quit it! palin says it is ridiculous to say that mitt romney should avoid making a similar mistake. i agree. i think he should choose someone just as dopey and unqualified.

mittens, yes! she wrote on the blog, mom answered the call to serve her country, energize the base and plus she did it with good humor and grace. i don't know what else she could have been expected to do. >> i don't know, not be a dope that wasn't qualified. >> do a little research? >> she could not work mayor miracles. >> guys and gals! >> i can only do so much. >> i hope he does. >> quit being mean to my mom. >> stephanie: i love that they're going with the karl rove strategy again. so they're criticizing -- they're seeking to undermine killing bin laden and obama's high-level support among students. yes, i would highlight that as much as possible. absolutely. robert gibbs meanwhile, i think said it best. sometimes you listen to the romney campaign. they think a lot of people in the country are stupid. the message is you didn't clean up our mess fast enough. the last six months of the bush administration we lost three and a half million jobs. we know this about mitt romney, he's not a job creator. they were 47th out of 50 in

job creation. his experience is in downsizing, outsourcing jobs bankrupting companies and walking away with a lot of money. >> so, what's your point? that's what we do. >> stephanie: voters will become familiar with his economic policy which he calls backward looking and what got us into this mess in the first place. [ applause ] >> stephanie: oh speaking of people saying attention. the supreme court's favorability rating has plummeted to a 25-year low with americans on both sides of the aisle demonstrating negative views of the court. everyone thought citizens united sucked. >> the supreme court should not be designed to have an approval rating. >> stephanie: exactly. my god. five of doing frank lund's talking points. you know there's something wrong. as you know, the president has a plan to take all of our guns in the second term. >> we know that because he has not tried to take guns away yet. >> but mitt romney clearly did. >> gun stores cannot get guns

fast enough to keep up with the demand from anti-obama paranoia apparently. last year, the head of the nra claimed that president obama -- ooh, that's right. he intentionally avoided gun regs during his entire first term as a massive obama conspiracy to hide his true intentions to destroy the second amendment in our country. while pierce claimed that obama is waiting for a second term to get busy dismantling and destroying our firearms freedom it is little more than implausible. it proved to be a bonanza for the government. [ applause ] >> do they understand that mitt romney has passed more anti-gun legislation than barack obama? >> stephanie: the president has passed exactly zero. mitt romney, assault weapons ban in massachusetts. can't wait for that ad. coming to get our guns. all right. oh and i love this. national review. not a chris christie fan. he lacks the moral compass to

serve as president. >> he had a moral compass but he ate it. >> stephanie: governor of embracing some american muslims as they identify as having a checkered history. there's nothing worse than a checkered muslim. >> you know what else chris christie embraced? the buffet. >> stephanie: oh, stop it. they say -- they close whatever the reasons, we can prove he lacks the moral compass to serve as vice president of the united states. >> did muslims invent checks? >> stephanie: all right, tomorrow is thursday. what happens tomorrow on the big show? >> representative adam schiff of burbank is going to be in studio with us tomorrow. >> stephanie: awesome. jim ward and rebecca taylor and courtney, see you tomorrow, everybody!
