RUSH: This "epic," as AP calls it, "epic war powers struggle," is a pork bill. It was 218-212 vote. The liberals voted, essentially here, to fund spinach and not the soldiers!"No, Rush, no! There's funding in this bill."Yeah, funding through March of 2008. Yip yip yip yip yahoo! This is a pullout date. This is not funding the troops -- and note, it's an election year in 2008. This is pure election year politics, which is what everything the Democrats are trying to drum up these days is all...

RUSH: This is Uriah in Jacksonville, North Carolina. Greetings, sir. Nice to have you with us.CALLER: Hey, Mr. Rush, how are you, sir? I just want to say, I really appreciate what you do as far as conservatives. It'sthe right thing for our country. But there's one thing that I have a question about. The other day you played a song with Al Sharpton, Sharpton portraying -- actually singing in the studio against Barack Obama. My point is that the term "negro" that was used in that song, I found...

RUSH: You gotta hear these next four sound bites. President George W. Bush fired up. It sounds like he's finally gotten mad and he's calling Democrats by name. He's not saying my opponents, my respected good friend opponents. He's calling the Democrats. He's calling them on the carpet. This happened about a half hour ago. He had a bunch of military personnel standing behind him. This is the president, first of four bites, responding to the House Democrats passing their pork bill.THE PRESIDENT:...

RUSH: Rick in Elkhart, Indiana. Thank you, sir, for waiting.CALLER: Not a problem. Mega dittos from fly-over country.RUSH: Thank you, sir.CALLER: Hey, I was just kind of curious what you think about the Iranians "detaining" those British sailors and their Marines?RUSH: It's no big deal. The Iranians are no threat to anybody. It's just a little skirmish out there. The Iranians are just trying to protect their sovereignty out there. The whole world is aligned against them and is trying to...

RUSH: Now, moving on to the John Edwards and Elizabeth Edwards situation. Remember yesterday, I mentioned to you that so many of my trusted and loyal but cowering-in-fear (at least yesterday) staff, were concerned that I was going to get in all kinds of trouble? My trusted executive producer, Cookie, was sending constant instant messages, "Did you have to add that? You know you're going to get in trouble over this." Some friends were sending me e-mails in the course of yesterday's program, "You...

RUSH: Barack Obama. Have you heard about this? "Obama's Heritage Traced to Ireland." Can Al Sharpton say that? Can the Reverend Jackson say that? Can Calypso Louie Farrakhan say that? "US Presidential hopeful Barack Obama can now count himself as one of the millions of Americans with Irish heritage. Research by the genealogy website Ancestry.co.uk reveals that Mr Obama's great-great-great-grandfather was born in Ireland, although it is not yet known where." You know, by the time they finish...

RUSH: Jeff in Pleasant Hill, Missouri, you are next on Open Line Friday. Hello.CALLER: Hi.RUSH: Hi.CALLER: Mega dittos. I wanted to give you an award first of all, if you've got time for that.RUSH: Yeah.CALLER: It's the first time I've heard the First Commandment ["Do not have any gods before Me."] explained properly in any media. When you talked about global warming, you did some quotes that were very similar to a large catechism of the Lutheran Church. I'm a Lutheran pastor, and it's the...

RUSH: This is about Bill Clinton and a fund-raiser at a gym. He went to a workout place and women had to cover up their skimpy clothes at the Clinton fund-raiser. "But it was all T-shirts, Lycra and sneakers streaming into the SoulCycle spinning studio on the Upper West Side in Manhattan last evening, as about 35 women and 5 men paid $2,300 apiece (or per stationary bike) to hear former President Bill Clinton speak and take questions for half an hour on behalf of the Democratic presidential campaign...

RUSH: I am getting e-mail questions, "Why all of a sudden, Rush, during the program...?" this from people that listen to the program on our web stream and those of you who are watching on the Dittocam. "How come you're playing these parodies during the breaks rather than all the music that used to play?" I explained this. I explained this in great detail last week. The Copyright Review Board that determines the price, royalty price that you have to pay for playing tunes on the Internet has just...

RUSH: I went out to dinner last night. This is fun, too. I'm on a diet. I've not made a big deal about this because I've done it so many times, but I'm down 30 pounds in 40 days and have takenfive notches off the belt. I've been hibernating for the most part this month. You've gotta do that. You don't have to, but I choose to. I haven't gone to any restaurants but I've gone to people's homes for dinner. Last night, I did another one. What's really tough is everybody else gets sauced and...

RUSH: Democrats are indisarray in the House. Before I went out to dinner last night, I'm reading the websites, doing a little show prep for the program today --and the news is they're going nowhere. Pelosi can't keep the place in order. The DC vote bill (Eleanor Holmes Norton, this is her baby) isgoing down the tubes. Steny Hoyer was yelling at staff. The Democrat House just can't get anything done on this Iraq war bill. They want a definite withdrawal date of March of 2008. This is the...

You're Missing Out on Thousands of Rush Quotes! Join Rush 24/7 NOW!"My life is mental exercise." "So I guess there's no public consensus on global warming. I would have to say that I am having a profound effect on this. Well, you can sit in there and smirk, Dawn, but I don't know of anybody else who has been sounding the warning clarion about this as often and as loudly as have I."

A Republican Congressman from Michigan-- Tim Walberg-- recently told an interviewer that many parts of Iraq aren't any more dangerous than Detroit. Returning troops told him that 80 to 85 percent of the country is "reasonably under control," Walberg said; that's as "least as well as Detroit or Chicago or any of our other big cities."State Democratic Party chairman Mark Brewer said, "[That's u]nconscionable!"He says Detroit bears no resemblance to Iraq and is demanding an apology out there.
