RUSH: This Libby trial, when this is all over and when people are free to speak about this, I hope the country is made aware -- I'll do my part -- of what a total travesty this whole thing is. This has never been about Valerie Plame.

RUSH: Last night on CNN's Paula Zahn Now they were talking about hip-hop, the music, the culture, and the lyrics. Somehow my name came up in this discussion. The guest was somebody named Cliff Schecter, an expert. Never heard of him. He's from AmericaBlog.com, and this is what he said.

RUSH: The Washington Post is going gaga today. Well, actually, in a way, going gaga, but not all the way. I printed this story out on my computer. Seven pages when you print this story out!

The story says that in six years, Bill Clinton has raked in nearly $40 million in speech fees. ?Former president Bill Clinton, who came to the White House with modest means and left deeply...

CALLER: Yeah, yeah, I called you on Wednesday, and first I have to say, mega dittos, Rush! It's so exciting to say that. I used to think you were this huge windbag until my neighbor influenced me to listen to you, and I was converted September 2004 to hard-core conservatism.
RUSH: Well, thank you. Welcome home. I have to ask, though.
CALLER:...

RUSH: Those of you who shop at IKEA, this is unbelievable. Swedish retailer IKEA has targeted you consumers in America because you are stupid. You need to be reeducated. IKEA provides 70 million plastic bags every year to its US shoppers for free. In other words, you go into an IKEA store, you buy what you buy, and they put 'em in these plastic bags. You don't take the bags in there. They're in there when you go, and they put the stuff you buy in the bags that they provide. But now IKEA is...

I don't mean this to be critical of anything. I did my award-winning -- well, it should have won an award,...
