RUSH: Henry in Indianapolis, hi. Welcome to the program, sir.
CALLER: Hey, Rush, Little League football coach dittos.
RUSH: Thank you.
CALLER: I am calling because I thought I was beyond being surprised by the liberal left media, and this morning on CNN Miles O'Brien just would not stop browbeating Haley Barbour. First, it's Haley's fault that it's the hurricane, I understand, but then he says, "How come the government, the federal government is not doing enough?" and Barbour said,...

RUSH: This is dicey. It's like I say: "law and order" in New Orleans is a code word for racism. You don't talk about law and order because you'll have people like Jesse Jackson on your case. So you don't talk about it. The idea that, for example, the gangs running around down there now just came to life because of the disaster is na?ve. I mean, there are gangs in major metro areas all over the country, and they surface whenever, and this is the exact type of circumstance they exploit. I mean,...

RUSH: I just checked the e-mail and I've got some people arguing with me about freezing gas prices. "Rush, we need those prices frozen. It's gotten way too expensive. You're wrong about this. Freezing gas prices would help!" I'm glad you wrote me, and I appreciate the opportunity here to explain something to you. I want you to listen very carefully. I've gotta put this in context. Forget the laws of economics -- which are always going to rule here, rule the day. The laws of economics will...

RUSH: Now, let me give you an example. Here in Florida, I just had this story sent to me. This is from today's Tallahassee Democrat. Is that what the name of the paper is? Yeah, the Tallahassee Democrat. The headline story: "Nelson Calls for Freeze on Gasoline Prices -- Senator Warns of New Bid for Drilling in Gulf." That's... Warns of new drilling in Gulf! This illustrates the point I wish to open with. Liberals have absolutely no answer to the gasoline issue. The Democrats and the Sierra...

RUSH: Nothing better illustrates the moral and intellectual bankruptcy of the left than their reaction to this disaster in the Gulf Coast region. The only thing they can do is finger point, blame President Bush, rather than directing their concerns and energies constructively toward solving the problem. Instead of being part of the solution, they compound the problem by politicizing everything about this. "Bush didn't adequately prepare for this by getting assets into place, and he isn't doing...
