RUSH: The Associated Press: "Khalid Shaikh Mohammed confirmed his place in history as Al-Qaeda's most ambitious operational planner when he confessed in a US military tribunal..." and, by the way, the Drive-Bys are all over the place questioning this. “Was there torture used, Mr. Limbaugh? If there was torture used, we can't count on any of this. What would have happened had he been tried in a real US court, Mr. Limbaugh? What would have happened? What would have been the case there? This...

"Barack Obama slipped in a compliment of sorts about the Breck Girl. He said John Edwards is 'kind of cute.' You know, I am convinced that our use of the 'I am Woman' tune sung by the Breck Girl -- John Edwards -- has filtered down to the Obama campaign."
"'I...

RUSH: Mrs. Bill Clinton. This is not going to help her with the nutroots of the Democrat Party, the kook fringe, and it may indicate she's not concerned about it. I'd slap 'em down if I were a Democrat, rather than pander to them. They're a small bunch of people, a bunch of literal nuts. “Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton foresees a 'remaining military as well as political mission' in Iraq, and says that if elected president, she would keep a reduced military force there to fight Al Qaeda, deter...

RUSH: I had a great interview yesterday with Rick Santorum for the next issue of the Limbaugh Letter. He had an interesting point of view. His primary focus now is attempting to educate people on the dangers of Islamofascism. He says, "Look, the Europeans have lost their culture, and are in the process of losing it more and more every day." We had the story yesterday about the highest French court came out and said that gay marriage is illegal. Now, when you heard me report that, if you did, were...

RUSH: I've said this myself to the people trying to call here worried about media. Look, Ronald Reagan won two landslides. George W. Bush won twice. Republicans won the House in 1994 . George H. W. Bush won the White House 1988. There's all kind of evidence that the Drive-Bys can be overcome, although I think the Drive-Bys are at a more fevered pitch than ever before. They realize now that there's a divided media just like there's a divided country, and they're a business like anybody else, and...

RUSH: All right, more on this US attorney firing and the attempt here by the Democrats to equate this with Watergate. As is the usual case, there are lots of facts that the Democrats and the media are not telling us. I want to go back (and I'm not going to play the sound bite because it's not important) to the question that Wolf Blitzer asked Pat Leahy last night on the Situation Room on CNN. His question was: “Is there anything illegal in putting one of Karl Rove's associates in and making...

RUSH: These comparisons to Watergate arising from the so-called US attorney firing scandal are mystifying to me. As I say, I love being the one to pass this on to you, but I don't want to hear this, “Well, we can't get coverage.” Gonzales could have gone on TV the other day and mentioned this when he was on TV for other reasons, in his press conference or what have you. Why they don't defend their actions and instead make excuses, “Mistakes were made, yeah, we da-da-da-da-da,”...

RUSH: Up next is Howard Dean. "Democratic Party Chairman Howard Dean has been meeting with world leaders to repair 'the extraordinary damage' that the Bush administration has done to America's image and to prepare the way for a new Democratic president. 'I am trying to build relationships with other governments in preparation for a Democratic takeover,' Dean told me." This is from Roger Simon in The Politico. Dean: “I want to make clear that there is an opposition in America and that we are...

RUSH: There's no sense of unrest for me. Clearly times are troubling and so forth, but I maintain my cheerful optimism about things. Nothing's happened to cause me to change that. I know the Gonzales thing is still percolating out there, and it's becoming absurd. It's just absurd. The White House doesn't seem interested in doing anything about it, in a PR sense, other than trying to stop the resignation of Gonzales. But now you have John Sununu, a Republican (he's a back bencher from New Hampshire)...

RUSH: Tom DeLay has a new book coming out. It's called, “No Retreat, No Surrender: One American's Fight.” We will be talking to Tom DeLay tomorrow at this time, 24 hours from now. We'll be talking to Tom DeLay here on the Excellence in Broadcasting Network. The Washington Post has Robert Novak's column entitled: "The Wrath of Tom DeLay." There's some interesting tidbits from DeLay's book. I guess DeLay feels a little liberated here because he fires both barrels at Dick Armey and at Newt...

RUSH: Nick in Detroit. Welcome, sir, to the EIB Network.
CALLER: Hi, Rush. Thank you for taking my call.
RUSH: You bet.
CALLER: I wanted to start off by saying thank you for being the beacon of truth in some of the dark moments we get from our media. It's good to have a course correction on a daily basis. So thank you very much.
RUSH: Thank you, sir. You're more than welcome. I'm happy and honored to do it.
CALLER: Sounds great. Hey, I wanted to...not belabor this point,...

RUSH: This is Diana in Maryville, Tennessee. Hi, Diana. Welcome to the program.
CALLER: Thank you. Thank you for giving me a second chance. I'm calling because I owe you an apology. I called you on Monday and called you a name that you did not deserve.
RUSH: That's when you called me a...butt.
CALLER: Yes.
RUSH: You actually used the orifice's actual name.
CALLER: Yeah.
RUSH: I appreciate that.
CALLER: And for one thing that was out of my character. I don't ordinarily...

RUSH: Now to the Breck Girl and Barack Obama. I am convinced that Barack Obama has either heard about, or actually listens to this program. The reason I say this is because of a comment that Barack Obama made about the Breck Girl. We have this update theme when we have Breck Girl news, it's the Breck Girl singing "I am Woman" because he's been proclaimed by Kate Michelman as a candidate for the first female president. “Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) slipped in a compliment — of sorts —...

Story #5: Cute New Leopard Species Found in BorneoRUSH: They found a new species of leopard in Borneo, and it's a beautiful, beautiful cat. I happen to love cats, big and small, but in reading about this new leopard species, I say, "Wait. We're supposedly wiping out all these species." This leopard has two-inch fangs that are as large as a tiger's fangs, but the tiger is ten times as large as the leopard. The fact sheet accompanying the story in the UK Daily Mail, says the leopard is just barely...
