RUSH: It appears to me, ladies and gentlemen, that waaaaay too many Republicans in the House are preparing for 40 more years in the minority. "At a recent meeting of the House Republican leadership, members of the new minority party looked around and realized they were entering unfamiliar territory: Only one of them -- Rep. John A. Boehner of Ohio -- had ever served as a member of the minority party on Capitol Hill. 'We're all still finding our way,' said Rep. Kay Granger of Texas, the Republican...

RUSH: A lot of people complained yesterday that in all the discussion of "24" we didn't talk football. So let's talk a little football. I'm going to make my Super Bowl prediction for you today, folks. The game will be between the New Orleans Saints and the Horses, the Indianapolis Horses. This scenario is just storybook stuff. For Peyton Manning, this is probably his last chance -- maybe not his last, but he's gotta get off the schneid here. Last chance here to beat the New England Patriots...

RUSH: Snerdley during the break said, "You know, I'm thinking about this first hundred hours of the Democrats and I don't see any excitement about it out there. During the Republicans, '95, when they took over Congress, they had the Contract with America, there was all kinds of excitement about it out there. The media was chronicling it and what they were doing and every vote and every debate the Republicans had was huge, big news," and I said, "Well, you've got Iraq, that's overshadowing everything,"...

As you know, the Al Gore movie, an Inconvenient... Well, lie, truth, they're trying to show it in as many schools across the country as possible. In Seattle, some parents have finally said, "Wait a minute! This is propaganda! If you're going to show this, show the alternative point of view on this. This is by no means concluded science." It's "scientific consensus," which is not science. Again, I say, folks: if there is consensus in science, there's no science.

RUSH: More audio sound bites. Martin Luther King Day offered an opportunity for civil rights leaders to engage in hate speech. The "FreeSpeech" segment last night on the increasingly little watched CBS Evening News with Katie Couric featured John Lewis, and this is part of what Lewis had to say in his exciting commentary.
LEWIS: If Dr. King could speak today, he would tell us to stop this madness and bring our young people home. He would say that war is an obsolete, ineffective tool of our...

RUSH: Bill in Port Charlotte, Florida. Welcome to the EIB Network.
CALLER: Hey, Rush.
RUSH: Hey.
CALLER: It's a pleasure. It's a pleasure.
RUSH: Thank you, sir.
CALLER: Limitless -- jeez -- conservative poor guy that used to be red haired and freckled dittos. You were talking about women choosing to stay single. I personally think it's the other way around.
RUSH: No, it's actually not.
CALLER: No? Well, I think that's what they're trying to sell us, but I think there's...

RUSH: Well, this is hilarious. I'm sitting here monitoring PMSNBC during the break, and you know what they're doing right now? They are doing a serious hand-wringing segment on the nuke explosion last night on "24" and whether or not it will help Bush. They've got some yin-yang Democrat guest and some former assistant press secretary for Bush, debating whether the nuke explosion on a television show will help Bush. Help Bush? They're going on and on and on about how this show is watched (interruption)....

RUSH: "Ailing Cuban leader Fidel Castro is in 'very grave' condition after three failed operations and complications from an intestinal infection known as diverticulitis, a Spanish newspaper said Tuesday. The newspaper El Pais cited two unnamed sources from the Gregorio Mara?on hospital in the Spanish capital of Madrid. The facility employs a surgeon ... who flew to Cuba in December to treat ... Castro." Apparently what happened there is Castro had diverticulitis. Diverticulitis is not life-threatening....

Interesting news here, ladies and gentlemen. "New research showing a strong link between Parkinson's disease and low levels of 'bad' cholesterol are so worrying that U.S. researchers are launching a study to look into it. The team at the University of North Carolina is planning clinical trials involving thousands of people to see whether statin drugs, which lower low density lipoprotein, or LDL, might actually cause Parkinson's in some people." Do you understand the importance of this? Do you...

RUSH: John in San Diego. John, thanks for your patience here.
CALLER: I just wanted to say that back in '91 when Bush 41, when they bamboozled him over the whole no new taxes thing, I remember on your TV show that you had showed that, and I never really got over that. I thought that that was really despicable, and now here it is in modern times, and we have Democrats that will do anything to get back into power -- and at the expense of our troops and the expense of, really in the future,...

I didn't waste any time watching the Golden Globes last night. We have some pretty amazing sound bites from some of the intros, like Tom Hanks giving an award to Warren Beatty. I'm not sure we can play this, even though it aired on NBC! I'm going to go ahead and play it, but it's pretty ribald. We had Sasha Baron Cohen, a/k/a Borat accepting his award, which was just as smutty.
I didn't watch the awards themselves, but I did check out a bit of the pre-show. I've wondered about this for the...

RUSH: All right, from Landstuhl, Germany: "US Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton..." By the way, she canceled the two o'clock press event today, two o'clock Eastern Time because of the announcement by Barack Obama that he's going to form his presidential exploratory committee for the purposes of deciding by February 10th whether he's going to seek the office of dictator -- president! -- of the United States of America. She canceled the press conference, but she said yesterday... Now, get this. "U.S....

RUSH: Let's move on to Barack Obama. The media today, the Drive-Bys, are having their Obama orgasms. He announced on his website he's going to be deciding to run for president by February 10th. It's actually a video announcement. Here is a portion of it.
OBAMA: I believe in you, and that's why I wanted to tell you first that I'll be filing papers today to create a presidential exploratory committee. For the next several weeks I'm gonna talk with people from around the country, listening...

RUSH: Here is Paula in Durham, North Carolina. Welcome, Paula, nice to have you with us.
CALLER: Hi. Hey, Rush. Thanks for taking my call.
