RUSH: Susan in Alamo, California. I have been wondering how long it was going to be before I heard from you.CALLER: Well, Rush, it's been very hard for me to bring myself to this point, and I can best summarize this in a poem. "Roses are red. Sometimes they're white. I was wrong about governor Benedict Arnold Schwartzenkennedy, and you Rush, like Jack Bauer, were right." He's a big phony. He's a liberal. I am a hundred thousand times more angry at Arnold than I ever was when I called up at you...

RUSH: Look at this headline: "House Democrats' New Strategy: Force Slow End to War." Now, much is being made about this resolution that is coming up. The president talked about this in his press conference today and this is one of the things that is mystifying to people like me and a number of others. He had numerous questions from the press, "What do you think about the Democrats?" He said (summarized), "I respect 'em. They're patriotic people. You can certainly disagree with my policy and...

RUSH: Steve in Minneapolis, you're next. Great to have you on the EIB Network. Hello, sir.
CALLER: Hello. Hey, mega ditto, alternate universe dittos here, Rush.
RUSH: Thank you, sir. (Gurgling words).
CALLER: Yeah, I just wanted to point out that this kid, this Muslim kid who did this killing, they don't want to talk about his religion, and when Ellison ran for office up here, they certainly didn't want to talk about his religion, but they're just beating Mitt Romney left and right...

"We abstain from Valentine's Day here. Well, I'm speaking for myself. Dawn, did you abstain? What about you, Brian? Well, you're freshly married; you don't have any choice. Snerdley, you're engaging in perfunctory Valentine's Day duties? Whoa, whoa! There must be somebody new in Snerdley's life!"

RUSH: My buddy Andy McCarthy at National Review Online wrote a great, great piece today. We told you about this earlier today, and we played you the sound bites. In fact, let's go back. Before we get to number nine and ten on Obama, Mike, let's go back to number one and number three to set this up, from the president's press conference today. There is a story in the Boston Globe today quoting a guy from the Institute for Peace and predictably a member of the Iraq Surrender Group. His name is...

RUSH: Did you see this story up on Drudge? An SUV plowed into a movie theater! Yeah, they got a picture of it and everything. It was in Torrington, Connecticut. "Some moviegoers ... got to see some real-life action unfold as they were watching the movie 'Dreamgirls' on Monday night. During the 7:00pm showing ... a white sport utility vehicle smashed through a wall of the theater... [N]obody was hurt, even though the SUV came inches from some moviegoer heads."
What do we take from this?...

RUSH: Ramesh in Houston. You're next on the EIB Network. Hello.
CALLER: Mega dittos, Rush. As a former member of the blame-the-right-wing-conspiracy crowd, when my skull was still full of mush, I'm proud to say I'm recovering and have been put on the right path thanks to the EIB Network.
RUSH: Well, great. I appreciate that. Welcome home.
CALLER: Sir, I'm calling in regard to something I saw last night on CNN.com. Even before I got into the EIB Network, I found myself disenchanted with...

RUSH: Let's get to this adoption story from yesterday, just to remind you of this -- and the AP was breathless in reporting this thing. They couldn't wait to report the fact that a couple of groups, gay and lesbian groups, were just ecstatic over research involving 161 families, quote, unquote, that adopted parents were better for children than their natural parents. There was no skepticism. This was just a puff piece from front to back. So last night at ABCnews.com, Gary Langer, the director...

RUSH: This story has to do with vasectomies, which I think is a story that has a place here on Valentine's Day: "U.S. scientists say they have determined vasectomies might place some men at risk for an unusual form of dementia. Northwestern University researchers discovered men with primary progressive aphasia -- a neurological disease in which people have trouble recalling and understanding words..."
For the longest time women have been waiting for scientific proof that men think with a part...

Let me find a story in the stack here on the budget. This is going to shock you. It may not because so many of these things, so many of these stories have come down the pike in recent years. It's basically a story on just how much of the budget is actually left over after it all goes out. Ah, yes! It's a Bob Samuelson column in the Washington Post who I quote feverishly, regularly. He's on a roll lately. He says, (paraphrased) "When are we going to finally admit in the United States that we...

RUSH: Let's go to the phones and see what's percolating there. Bruce in Alexandria, Virginia, welcome, sir. It's nice to have you with us.
CALLER: Yes, sir. Thank you for taking my call.
RUSH: You bet.
CALLER: My first question, sir, is, to my understanding there are 130 to 140,000 troops on the ground in Iraq, and with the president's surge of 21,000 additional, what difference does 21,000 more troops on the ground going to make? And my second question is, today on his speech, he...

RUSH: Does anybody have any idea who it is that shovels away the snow at Algore's house? This is a fascinating thing to me. It remains fascinating, even though I know that nothing is going to be said about it. Here we are in the middle of a genuine blizzard, a record snowfall in Chicago -- and there's plenty of news coverage about it, but there is not one reference by the Drive-By Media to global warming, and, "Hey, wait a minute. Maybe there isn't any global warming." Record snowfall in Chicago,...
