RUSH: Let me share with you an editorial today in the Wall Street Journal. This editorial warms my heart. It has practically everything in it that I said the first couple, three days of the port deal story. "Dubai Ports World finally threw in the kaffiyah on its American operations yesterday, agreeing to sell them 'to a U.S. entity.' We hope that entity turns out to be Halliburton, if only for the torment that would cause certain eminences on Capitol Hill." I've got a sound bite. In fact grab...

Did you say that I'm being called an elitist now? I'm being called an elitist? Wonderful. Well, at least it's not profane. I'm an elitist because I'm in the 10% that doesn't like what happened yesterday. "Ninety percent of the people have spoken.

THE PERKY ONE: Do they look feckless and misdirected by obsessing so much on this issue and not perhaps looking at the big picture?
RUSSERT: Well, the commission on September 11th said exactly that, and in the grading that they gave Congress and the administration very recently, they said this is still the one area that is so woefully insecure.

Let me tell you what this is leading up to, because I will guarantee you that there are some members of Congress that know this thing was okay but they didn't think they had the time and they didn't have the guts to try to properly inform the American people on this. One of the things about that -- and now the Democrats in a story today that's in the San Francisco...

RUSH: We go to Chicago. Hello, Paul, nice to have you with us.
CALLER: Hi, Rush. How are you?
RUSH: Fine, thank you.
CALLER: Rush, I have to say that I'm a little disappointed with your take on the Dubai port deal or the lack thereof at this point, and the reason that I say that --

RUSH: Yes.
CALLER: It's not --
RUSH: Transcripts? Wait, wait, wait. Transcripts?...

RUSH: I told everybody, I told you people yesterday on this program that the ports deal wasn't over. You will not believe -- (laughing) -- you will not believe where this is headed now in the media.
