RUSH LIMBAUGH: Cookie sends me this email, do you want to bleep what Trump said? So I said, did he use it -- was he calling Cruz a coward or was he using it in the physiological sense? She said no, no he was calling him a coward, I said don't bleep it. Don't bleep it. So then she sends the transcript, I said whoa. And I looked at it and knew immediately what had happened. This woman is in the audience, she calls Cruz a name, and Trump desperately wants that out there. He wants whoever didn't hear it, to hear it. He can't dare say it. He might have planted it but who knows. But the point is, he couldn't say it but he wanted it said, so how do you do it? Only a performer's instinct, only a performer's ego, could cause somebody to react this quickly, this smoothly and make all this happen the way it did. You might think it's horrible, you might want to condemn it, you might think its representative of the rot and decay of our culture, and I wouldn't disagree with you on that. But I'm simply talking about how do you make this happen? Who else could get away with this?
