RUSH: One of these many articles about the "flap," as they are calling it, over the Michael J. Fox ad, is one in which they asked some professor about my remarks from a communications point of view. It was either in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette today or the Baltimore Sun. Both of those papers have done "analysis pieces" here, and of course I'm just being who I am: a bomb thrower or what have you. It's amazing after all these years. This is a communications professor, and these guys still don't...

RUSH: A little audio to set up the monologue. Interesting from Matt Lauer today on the Today Show, commenting about me and the Michael J. Fox ad.LAUER: Rush Limbaugh started a lot of controversy when he said perhaps Michael J. Fox was exaggerating or faking these effects of Parkinson's disease in that ad promoting stem cell research. Didn't Rush Limbaugh just say what a lot of people were privately thinking? If Michael Fox goes out there politically and puts himself into the fray, he has to...

RUSH: I want to make an apology here. You have number seven from the audio sound bite roster ready to go? All right, let her rip.
FOX: The symptoms that I had in the ad that I did, that's called dyskinesia, and that's actually from too much medication.
RUSH: Okay, I need to apologize, I was wrong because I speculated either he didn't take his medication or he was acting. I never said the word faking. Now, if you people on the left want to equate acting with faking, I mean, go ahead,...

RUSH: All right, the flap over the Michael J. Fox commercial continues. It will not die down. The story is that I am out of control. The real story is and the fact is, the Drive-By Media, folks, has devolved into an hysterical mob. I'm going to explain why here in just a second, but before we go to the audio sound bites to set up the opening monologue in the program today, I want to get one thing straight. We had a call yesterday, and I dealt with it yesterday, and I will deal with it again...

RUSH: Okay, the story is that I'm "out of control." That's in the Drive-By Media. The fact is that they've devolved into what is an out-of-control, hysterical mob. Here's what's really happening with all this, ladies and gentlemen. The Drive-By Media in concert with the Democrat Party are now defending what is a false attack ad against Republican candidates. The Michael J. Fox ad is false. They are defending that ad. They are defending experiments on embryos. They are lying about candidates....

RUSH: Here is Gene in San Diego. Welcome to the EIB Network. Hi.
CALLER: Hello, Rush.
RUSH: Hey.
CALLER: How you doing?
RUSH: Fine, sir, thank you.
CALLER: Eighteen-year-listener. I'm watching you on the Dittocam smoking that stogie, and this is a call I hate to make. Rush, I'm so concerned, so concerned. You're a hundred percent right on this, but your reaction to Michael J. Fox commercial, I'm so concerned that it's going to be a call to action to get more Democrats off...
