RUSH: I went to a new restaurant in New York last night. I had dinner at a place called the Kobe Club, and it's one of Jeffrey Chodorow's restaurants, like China Grill. He did that TV show with Rocco DiSpirito. This is all Kobe and Wagyu beef. It's a steakhouse but it's not like any other steakhouse you've been to. You mix and match all the different cuts and the sauces. It was just indescribably good. I had a great, great time in there. I'd been in there about an hour, and this giant entourage...

RUSH: Hillary was also asked a question about Wal-Mart. When I was flying home last night last night, I'm channel surfed around up there and I'm watching MSNBC because they're the only one really talking about the debate aftermath because they carried it.

RUSH: By the way, it's a great day for the Democrats and the Drive-By Media. Here's the headline: "Economic growth has worst performance in four years, at 1.3% in first three months of 2007; experts blame housing slump." Oh, right after the Dow hits 13,000 and unemployment numbers were at a two-month low yesterday, it was down-in-the-dumps time for the Drive-Bys and the Democrats. But now, ladies and gentlemen, they can celebrate the economy. Economic growth can be reported as in the tank....
