RUSH: Jerry in Wheeling, West Virginia, great to have you with us today, sir, hello.CALLER: So nice to speak with you, Rush. It's quite a pleasure.RUSH: Thank you.CALLER: I've got a question, and then I'm going to hang up and I'll listen to your answer. I understand how economics works somewhat and the price of oil today is anywhere between 90 to a hundred dollars, it's been up and down. My question is, being that it's an election year, and someone like George Soros, or even the people that's...

RUSH: We had a drive-by caller here recently, Mr. Snerdley advised me of this during the break here at the top of the hour, and this is an excellent point. By the way, a drive-by caller is somebody who calls and they can't stay on the line. But the caller said, "You know, I'm really puzzled here. Last year, for much of the year, all we heard from the Democrats and the Drive-By Media was the necessary implementation, reimplementation of the Fairness Doctrine," because these talk radio guys, they've...

RUSH: Vice President Cheney was on the Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer, who had to sneak in under the guise of a group of critics, a question about the vice president's daughter. Blitzer said, ?Your daughter, she's going to have a baby. A statement from someone representing Focus on the Family: ?Mary Cheney's pregnancy raises the question of what's best for [churrin.] Just because it's possible to conceive a child outside of the relationship of a married mother and father doesn't mean it's best...

RUSH: If you haven't been paying attention to the news coverage of the trial of Scooter Libby, it's serious, but it's hilarious. You know, Libby claims, ?I didn't lie about anything. I just don't remember who I said what to when. I wasn't lying to you about it, Mr. Fitzfong. I just couldn't remember. There's all kinds of national security stuff going on out there.? So Fitzfong calls his three first witnesses, and his first three witnesses can't remember who they told what, when. And one of...

RUSH: John Kerry, after "droning" on for half an hour yesterday on the Senate floor -- and that is a great way to describe Senator Kerry's speech pattern. He drones. Sounds like he's practically meditating out loud. He ended up tearing up over his lost dream of being president. Now, contrast this vain, self-centered Brahman -- you know, he's the exact opposite of most men. He got where he is by hitching his wagon to a wealthy divorcee. Most men get there on their own. But that's another story....

RUSH: Dadelut dadelut dadelut dadelut dadelut dadelut dadelut! Yes, the trumpet fanfare means it's time for an update. Obama, in trouble with the black vote.
(Playing of Ted Kennedy Calling Obama "Osama" parody song.)
Well, the news on Barack Obama is not good today. There's a big poll, TIME Magazine, and Hillary Clinton is 19 points ahead of Obama, despite all of this fawning media he has received since last fall, 19 points ahead of Obama. But it gets even worse. I have two stories...

RUSH: We go to Raleigh, North Carolina, this is Lori. Thank you for calling, Lori.
CALLER: Hey, how are you?
RUSH: Fine, thank you.
CALLER: I need your help here. I wanted to know why you believe that the liberals truly want us to lose rather than just being misguided by their idealism, and if they are that way, how did they get there from beginning idealists?
RUSH: From beginning idealists. Now, wait. I need to know what you disagree with. Do you disagree with my assertion...

RUSH: This is amazing. They had a conference in London on climate change very recently, and scientists came up with one of the root causes of terrorism, and that's global warming. I kid you not. Global warming is said to be a cause of terrorism. (story) The chief scientist in the UK on this issue is a guy named John Mitchell, and he actually cited studies that have been made by Osama bin Laden. ?John Mitchell, chief scientist at Britain's Met Office, noted al Qaeda had already listed environmental...

RUSH: Peggy in Aquebogue, New York, welcome to the EIB Network. Hello.
CALLER: Hi, Rush. Listen, I believe in you, I trust you, and I have a question. You've got us out here frantic. What can we do to punish these Republicans who are not true Republicans? How can we get rid of them, how can we either get rid of them or yank their chain and put them back where they belong.
RUSH: Oh, the age-old question. I could be -- and I don't mean this directed at you personally, but you have...

RUSH: We'll go to Long Beach, California. This is Robin. I'm glad you waited. Welcome to the program.
CALLER: Thank you, Rush. I love your show.
RUSH: Thank you.
CALLER: I am what I refer to seriously as a recovered liberal, and I want the audience to know that you're just too nice to liberals. They are pernicious; they are diabolical; they are liars; they hate America; they will do anything to destroy America; they need to be stopped.
RUSH: Well, now, most Americans hearing...

RUSH: I mentioned earlier at the beginning of the program, ladies and gentlemen, that many in the Drive-By Media are orgasmic over the arrival of Jim Webb to the Democrat Party, based on his response to the State of the Union on Wednesday night. One of the examples is a piece from Salon.com. When I printed this out, it omitted the first paragraph and the authorette's name. It's Joan Walsh. They're just all excited here that finally there's a real man on the scene. They gave it a shot with...

RUSH: Just one day after President Bush implored Congress to give his Iraq strategy a second chance to succeed, the Senate Foreign Relations Committee approved a resolution on Wednesday denouncing the plan to send more troops to Baghdad, setting up the most direct confrontation over the war since it began nearly four years ago,? breathlessly writes the New York Times. Senator Joseph Biden (plagiarist), Delaware Democrat, chairman of the committee, said: "'This is not designed to say, ?Mr. President,...

RUSH: Connie in Utica, Indianapolis, welcome to the program. Thank you for waiting.
CALLER: Hi, Rush. It's a pleasure.
RUSH: Thank you.
CALLER: This is regarding the resolution from the liberals and Democrats.
RUSH: There was a Republican on there, Chuck Hagel.
CALLER: I know. I'm trying to forget about that, as best I can. Of course I won't forget it, believe me.
RUSH: Yeah, don't forget it.
CALLER: I have two sons. One is proudly serving, my older son is in the...
