RUSH: The Baltimore Sun has continued to add to their story about the hate crime committed against me and my Baltimore affiliate WCBM, the defacing of the billboard. You know what they did today? They published a map. They published a map to the billboard. So if you want to drive through Baltimore, it's somewhere off I-83. I didn't print the map out. I don't have it in front of me (laughing) but they printed a map to go look at the billboard. We've discussed all this with WCBM. We're going...

RUSH: My friends, I'm in a dilemma today. I saw a story. I was shocked to see this. The divorce rate is down. "Despite the common notion that America remains plagued by a divorce epidemic, the national per capita divorce rate has declined steadily since its peak in 1981 and is now at its lowest level since 1970. ... Even those who study marriage and work to make it more successful can't decide whether the trend is grounds for celebration or cynicism." I must say that I fall into that category....

RUSH: We're back, El Rushbo at EIB Network. Open Line Friday to Pelion, South Carolina. This is Marie. I'm glad you called. CALLER: Hi! Happy Friday!RUSH: Same to you. CALLER: I was asked to get right to it. I called you in 1994 as a recently divorced mother of a two-year-old. RUSH: Yeah?CALLER: I was in my second semester of college and some professors had convinced me to go on welfare because I had been falling asleep during class, and I called you to ask you, "Don't you think that...

RUSH: You gotta hear these two sound bites. They're from The Oprah. I want you to know what a professional and career risk I am taking by playing these bites. The Oprah is not to be criticized. When The Oprah is criticized, the Drive-Bys circle the wagons around The Oprah. So I just want you to know, this is a career risk. (Well, not a career risk. It's a professional risk. My career won't be threatened.) Nevertheless, I'm going to take this risk by playing for you these two sound bites, one...

RUSH: People think that the Democrat-led Congress is doing just as a dreary a job as President Bush. "Following four months of bitter political standoffs that have seen little progress on Iraq and a host of domestic..." Do you really think the low congressional approval is because they haven't done anything in Iraq? I think it's the exact opposite. I think the Drive-By are fooling themselves here. I think the low approval ratings are precisely because they're trying to lose the war. I have...

RUSH: Audrey in South Arizona, welcome to the EIB Network. Nice to have you with us. CALLER: Thank you. It's super getting through. I'm shocked. RUSH: Well, I'm glad you made it. CALLER: Me, too. I just want to say a comment about Hillary Clinton. RUSH: Yes? CALLER: I can't stand her. The woman that has a husband that disgraced the whole country, and she's running for president and she's mocking Italians and...

(Hillary Clinton Dialect School Parody Commerical)RUSH: Something in that parody talked about health care. "You have to no gottaa pay-a the health care bill." I was reading Ed Morris's blog today, Captain's Quarters. I came across something fascinating. "A new study by the Karolinska Institute in Sweden shows that the American health care system outperforms the socialized systems in Europe in getting new medicines to cancer patients. The difference saves lives, and the existing Western European...

RUSH: Philadelphia. Ryan, you're next on the edition of Open Line Friday today. Great to have you. CALLER: Great to talk to you. It's a pleasure. Couple of things. One thing, I just wanted to talk about the Democrats not repealing the tax cuts. The Democrats let the tax cuts expire. How does it affect what I think is their base? You've got five million extra people that are going to be put back on the tax rolls here. The 10% bracket goes to 15. It's a fifty percent increase....

RUSH: To the phones we go to. Beaufort, North Carolina. Angie, I'm glad you called. Welcome. You're up first. It's an awesome responsibility, by the way, because you -- as the first caller -- set the tone for everyone who will follow. Go ahead.CALLER: (silence)RUSH: (sigh) CALLER: Hello? RUSH: Hi, Angie.

RUSH: Here's Jack in Pompano Beach, Florida, on Open Line Friday. Welcome, sir. Great to have you with us. CALLER: Hi, Rush. Thanks for taking my call. You do a wonderful job. RUSH: Thank you. I appreciate that. That's because I'm a thinking, involved, engaged person. CALLER: I think I am too. What I called about is recently they decided to rate movies based on the amount of smoking in them as well as sex and violence. RUSH:...

RUSH: Listen to this audio sound bite. This was this morning on Washington Journal on C-Span. Brian Lamb is the host today, and he was talking to the chief White House correspondent for ABC News, Martha Raddatz. We talk about the Drive-Bys all over the place. One of the points I made to you about the Drive-Bys is they still carry this illusion, put forth this delusion, that as far as they're concerned, that they are objective. They are objective -- and, of course, that's one of the big problems,...

RUSH: The 1/2 Hour News Hour premiers Sunday night on the Fox News Channel. I think it's 10:00. It's after Hannity's show. I'm not going to be in this episode, but next weekend I'm going to be in LA. I'm going to shoot a couple of episodes as the president and one episode as me. I haven't seen the sketches yet. I'll get those, well, sometime in advance of getting there. I'll be in New York a lot of next week doing stuff and then to LA next weekend, but The 1/2 Hour News Hour premiers on Sunday....
