CALLER: I thought it was awesome, Rush. I'll tell you that just to hear him stand firm and not worry about the criticism, you know, to say, "We can't leave until the job is done," and I'm a veteran, and I can stand behind that, and (laughs) Kerry is just running around saying a lot of the same things that the president is saying about his plan, and to me none of these countries in the UN can fund the war, never have they put their troops and their money where their mouth is. I mean, didn't we...

All right, that's the lead. I mean, so that gives you an idea of how liberals look at this. We are terrorists. Our attacks in Iraq are terrorism just as are the acts of Zarqawi and Muqtada al-Sadr. Contained in this paragraph is pessimism, doom and gloom, and a hope for defeat, and sort of a praise and an agreement for Kofi Annan saying that the American war was illegal. Next paragraph.

No, there's nothing unusual at all, and there probably isn't. But we have friends everywhere, they call us, they ask us to do things, we do it.

This is just stunning....

Evan, you better get it into gear. You could use these 15 points about now, and Kerry could. So the bloom is off the rose here as far as this ruse and this illusion that there's some sort of pretense at objectivity. The pretense of objectivity is really gone now. I mean, now you have Joe Lockhart getting a phone call from Mary Mapes, the producer at CBS who did this story with Bill Burkett, and Lockhart wants to rely on, "I talked to him for three or four minutes, didn't say anything substantive."...
