Transcript:

Mark: Phil Gramm...Prairie earthquake! You know, kids, there just doesn't seem to be any end to the excitement surrounding the presidential aspirations of Senator Phil Gramm! Who is this hopeful from the heart of Texas? To his colleagues, he's just plain Phil - the soft-spoken country boy with the crooked grin and dancing eyes! And yet there is a darker side! Ask him about his clandestine support of the Aryan Nation, and you're met with a stony silence! Bring up the rumors of campaign payoffs, and he's out the door! And then there are his positions: For private ownership of automatic weapons; for abolishing social security; for repealing the first amendment; for the death penalty for abortionists! And there's more! Back after this! Assistant: Um...Mark? Mark: Yo. Assistant: I'm almost positive none of that's true. Mark: Who cares? Rush has freed up this business!
