RUSH: Yes, yes, of course we are going to review Live Earth, but not for a whole lot of time, folks, because it was a bomb. It was an absolute disaster. I think the whole Live Earth thing ended up being a joke. It didn't move anyone. They had a whole bunch of sixties relics showing up.

RUSH: I have a fascinating story here by Melinda Henneberger. Now, Melinda Henneberger used to write for Newsweek. She's now at Slate.com, does columns and so forth. She has a story in the Dallas Morning News from Sunday, a column, actually: "More women feeling skeptical about Clinton's authenticity - though they wish they weren't."
