RUSH: Judge Edith Clement, in New Orleans, Fifth Circuit, is the name that's being floated and has been all morning as the Supreme Court nominee that Bush will announce today. No word from the White House on when Bush would disclose. Actually, there has been. There has been some word from the White House. The White House told reporters in the press room today, (paraphrasing) "Keep your jackets on. Keep your coats on. It will be a long day, but we are expecting an announcement today." That...

RUSH: Now, ladies and gentlemen, I want to give you the details here on the Joe Wilson-Valerie Plame stuff I've been teasing for the last a 15-20 minutes. First off, this Washington Post piece, and this goes back to October 4th, of 2003. Now, this is really clever, by the way, the way the press is trying to do this. This is Walter Pincus and Mike Allen, in the Washington Post. The opening sentence is no better than what Terry Hunt tried to do yesterday by making it look like the president lowered...

RUSH: The first caller we had on this, a friendly lib, said he was talking about a June 10th presidential news conference. So we went back and we found what was said on June 10 -- and this is really, really lame. This is just typical of what is happening. The press is more concerned with their version of the story, and even if they have to change the president's meaning, they will do it -- because again, remember, their reputation is what is at stake. Their reputation to make a news story in...

RUSH: Tom in Chicago. We have our first liberal on the phone today ? it says you are - welcome to the program, sir.
CALLER: Hello. I'm just calling to let you know that earlier in the show you said something about how the media seems to be twisting that Bush changed his position on the leaker, that he would fire him. I saw them clearly ask, "Do you stand by your pledge to fire anyone in the administration found to be involved in this leak." [sic] He clearly heard it and he clearly said, "Yes."

RUSH: Bill in Sacramento, my adopted hometown. Welcome, sir.
CALLER: Hey, Rush.
RUSH: Hey.
CALLER: Okay. I could feel it. The Bushes are doing it to us again. I'm going to see a Souter II coming on and we are all going to be told, "She is a conservative," and, "Don't worry guys. She's going to be great. She is a conservative. You're going to love her," and she's going to be another Souter.
RUSH: Are you talking about Edith Clement?
CALLER: Exactly. I mean, I just... I just...

RUSH: I have just a fabulous e-mail from a soldier in Iraq that I want to share with you.
Dear Rush,

I just wanted to let you know that I enjoy listening to your show when I get a chance. Since I am currently stationed at Camp Anaconda in Iraq, I do not get a chance to hear you while I'm here.

I wanted to let you know about someone special. Her name is Darnel and she is my "Angel." In case you aren't familiar with "Angels," they are people that correspond, via e-mail or letters, with...
