RUSH: Just a couple more things about Iraq. New York Times on their blog: "Poll: Americans Weigh in on Iraq." One of the points that the polls make is this level of negative public opinion has been relatively constant since January. Well, I want to remake a point that I made in the last riff on this. If the public opinion, the negative public opinion has been relatively constant since January, it means that despite the New York Times and the Drive-By Media's best efforts, and an increase in...

RUSH: I have some Breck Girl stories here about the poverty tour. First off, this was from four days ago. Chapel Hill is the dateline here. "Thursday marked the second postal scare in four months at John Edwards’ campaign headquarters in Chapel Hill." I think Edwards just needs to clue his staff in when the Avon products are arriving and they'll get rid of half of these incidents, if not all of them. "Both incidents proved to be harmless, but for businesses in Southern Village, Edwards'...

The tune is from 1968, is called Get Ready. The Temptations did this song, and this is a Motown group, one of their sub-labels. I...

RUSH: Jerry in Milwaukee. You're next on the EIB Network, sir. Nice to have you with us, too.CALLER: Hi. Thanks for taking my call, Rush.RUSH: Yes.CALLER: The consistent message I hear among conservatives is that, uh, liberals, even if you strongly disagree with the war, no matter how your objections to the war are, say in Iraq, you should support the troops, don't undermine the president. The problem -- and supporting the troops is the ideal. It's more important than one's objections. But...

RUSH: Dick in DuBois, Pennsylvania, you're next on the EIB Network. Hello.CALLER: Rush, how are you?RUSH: I'm great. Thank you.CALLER: It is an honor to speak to you, sir.RUSH: Well, I appreciate that.CALLER: My comment today is I understand how people can hate you, because years ago I was one of those people, before I listened to you.

RUSH: I'm going to play you some audio sound bites because these warmed my heart when I heard these today. Yesterday on C-SPAN's Washington Journal, Steve Scully, the host, the topic is: Return to Fairness Doctrine? They were bouncing off the latest National Review cover story on the Fairness Doctrine. I gave an interview to Byron York for it, and they put a funny picture of me with duct tape on my mouth on the cover of National Review. Scully takes a caller from Port St. Lucie, Florida.VOICE:...

RUSH: Yesterday on Meet the Press, Jim Webb got into a huge dust-up with Lindsey Graham, and it's all about Iraq and getting out now versus waiting for September, even in the midst of what people now claim, and the interim report we got last week confirmed, that there is tremendous security and military progress being made. I think that is one of the reasons for panic on the part of the Democrats, and even some of these Republicans. The Republicans worried, they think that the '06 elections were...

RUSH: Here's today's iPhone winner. We have two more to go. Well, this one is one of the two. The last iPhone tomorrow will be given away. Today's iPhone winner is Pam E.

This is from the Raleigh News and Observer. "Four Killed as SUV Hits Disabled Car."
