RUSH: There's a new video commercial on YouTube that is a remake of the Apple Computer commercial launched in 1984 during the Super Bowl produced by great movie director Ridley Scott (he's done some good movies) and it just destroys Hillary Clinton. It literally destroys Hillary Clinton. The tagline at the end of the commercial makes it look like that it's from Barack Obama. He's out there denying that it's his handiwork. I have an idea whose idea and handiwork this is. It could be David Geffen....

RUSH: I just saw something on CNN, and I laughed about it, but it burns me. You know the phony polar bear picture that's out there with the polar bear supposedly on a melting glacier with nowhere to go? It's out there in the middle of the Arctic Ocean, where there's nowhere for them to go. It's a hoax picture. It's phony. It's an ice floe created by the waves. The bears are out there playing around. They can get off it. They can get on it. They're not "stranded." I just saw a fund-raising...

RUSH: We've been discussing today a column by a guy named DavidEhrenstein of the Los Angeles Times entitled, "Obama, the 'Magic Negro.'" It's all about how white people supporting Barack Obama can't possibly be doing it on the basis of substance, because there's nothing about him and he's an empty vessel. Nobody knows enough about him to support him on the basis of policy or substance. So the white people supporting Barack Obama, "the magic negro," are doing so precisely because he's "the magic...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPTRUSH: There's a fascinating story in the LA Times today. Get this headline. Who wrote this? David Ehrenstein is his name. He's LA-based, and "writes about Hollywood and politics." The headline of his column: "Obama, the 'Magic Negro.'"I kid you not!"As every carbon-based life form on this planet surely knows, Barack Obama, the junior Democratic senator from Illinois, is running for president. Since making his announcement, there has been no end of commentary about him in all...

The problem, Ehrenstein says, is he's not real. Al Sharpton's real, Snoop Dogg is real, but Barack Obama is not real. He's just there to assuage white guilt. In other words, the only reason Obama is anywhere is because whites are willing to support him because they feel so guilty over slavery. Now, before you reject this, Shelby Steele has written a great book about the whole concept of "White Guilt"and how it is allowing our society to become more and more passive about any number of transgressions...

RUSH: Here now the Reverend Sharpton in a press conference today responding to the three detectives who have been indicted in the Sean Bell shooting.Listen carefully.SHARPTON:As we listen to the announcement of the district attorney, it falls short of what we would want. Clearly in our judgment all five officers should have been shot -- should have been charged.(gasps, laughter)Let me be clear.All five officers shot.All five officers shot.We do not endorse their being shot.RUSH:Then why...

RUSH: As is always the case, we have a burgeoning and growing stack of global warming information, ladies and gentlemen. So it is time for a global warming update. Paul Shanklin portrays Algore. (Playing of Ball of Fire spoof song.) That's Algore, Ball of Fire, takeoff on Johnny Cash, Ring of Fire. Paul Shanklin, the vocal portrayal there of the ecowarrior Algore. Last week I made mention of the fact to you that the president of Czechoslovakia, Vclav Klaus, was saying this global warming thing...

RUSH: I was coming home from playing golf yesterday, and I was fit to be tied, by the way. I'm not going to bleed on you people about this, but I had a horrible round of golf. I am still depressed over it, because now I know what I'm doing wrong, and I can't fix it. I mean I'm fine out there on the range, get out to the golf course, and I lost the game back in November, and I went to somebody, here's what you're doing wrong, and I fix it on the range, can't fix it on the golf course. It's depressing....

RUSH:"Suspected members of extremist groups have signed up as school bus drivers in the United States, counterterror officials said Friday, in a cautionary bulletin to police.An FBI spokesman said, 'Parents and children have nothing to fear.'"Really?Then why issue the story that suspected members of extremist groups have signed up as school bus drivers in the US? How does that lead to parents and children having nothing to fear?Because they have no more room for fear, folks.They are full of...

RUSH: Robert in Herndon, Virginia,it's nice to have you with us, sir. Welcome.CALLER: Hello. How are you?RUSH: Fine, sir. Thank you.CALLER: Yes, yes.

So it was quite a show.RUSH: You know, there was a Gathering of Eagles...

RUSH: The president gavea five-minute address, a little speech in the White House this morning about 11:30 on the fourth anniversary of the commencement of hostilities in Iraq.(White House Page)He asked for patience and said this was going to continue to take time. There's far more to be optimistic and upbeat about than he cited. Let's go to the audio. We'll comment as it unfolds. Here's the president addressing the nation, a portion of his remarks. We have two sound bites.THE PRESIDENT:...

RUSH: As a setup to the story CNN did defending the Breck Girl against allegations that his looks are a factor in the election, a story here that I found Friday night. This is from LiveScience.com: “Man-Of-Steel Mentality Helps Guys Heal Faster.” Now, we've heard all the stories over the years about how men don't ask for directions, despite taking wrong turns all the time. Just being individual, “I'm going to do it on my own! I'm going to get there on my own! I'm not going to...

RUSH: The Drive-Bys continue to go nuts over the US attorney firings. A strange headline today in the Associated Press: "White House Hopes Gonzales Will Stay On."Hopes Gonzales will stay on? What is that?“White House Says It Hopes Attorney General Gonzales Survives Calls for His Resignation,” and remains in President Bush's cabinet. “When asked if Gonzales will serve for the rest of President Bush's term, White House press secretary Tony Snow said, 'Well, we hope so.'”...

RUSH: The president spoke for five minutes today about a little over a half hour ago on the fourth anniversary of the Iraq war. PMSNBC essentially doing another one of their telethons trying to drum up anti-war support and proclaim it a failure. The rest of the Drive-By Media pretty much in the same mode, and the president's speech, wehave some sound bites of it. I wish it were a little bit more upbeat tonally, attitudinally than it was, but I still say that all of these people on the left who...
