RUSH: This is from the Washington Times today: "Sen. Barack Obama is striking a delicate balance to capture black voters but avoid becoming the stereotype that has sunk past black hopefuls for the White House." Well, now, let's see. How many of those have there been? How many past black hopefuls have there been for the White House? There has been the Reverend Jackson. There has been Carol Moseley Braun. She ran in the primaries once. There has been the Reverend Sharpton. There have been Alan...

RUSH: Remember the TIME Magazine cover story claiming that recent research concludes, men and women are different? Boys and girls are different? Remember that? It was a cover story in 1996. It was mind-boggling. What must they have thought in order to make that the cover story? Well, they're back. On the Today show cohost Matt Lauer today was speaking with TIME Magazine editor at large David Von Drehle. Matt Lauer says, "David, what's behind the apparent change?" The thing they're talking...

RUSH: The Drive-By Media last night was desperate, sniffing for a scandal in the seizure experienced yesterday by the Chief Justice of the United States, John Roberts. We have a montage of the Drive-By sniffs. David Shuster of PMSNBC, Pete Williams of NBC, Lou Dobbs, Wolf Blitzer, Jeanne Meserve of CNN, Jack Cafferty, and Jeffrey Toobin all discussing Roberts' health.SHUSTER: Did this come up with his confirmation hearings?WILLIAMS: No! It did not. He was asked on the questionnaire that he had...

RUSH: This is Brian in Kansas City. I'm glad you waited, Brian.CALLER: Hey, Rush.RUSH: Hey.CALLER: You probably don't remember me. I talked to you last summer. I was the Democrat who called in and said, when you had said that all Democrats are bad people, and I had an issue with that, so --RUSH: Okay, and I remember I said: just most of them.CALLER: Well, I appreciate the chance to talk to you. I just have a question. It seems to me that you're implying about all this Pollack-New York...

RUSH: Here's Todd in Ketchikan, Alaska. Welcome to the EIB Network. Nice to have you here, sir.CALLER: Thanks, Rush. Hey, dittos from the great state of Alaska.RUSH: Thank you, sir.CALLER: Hey, my question to you is, what do you think about this debacle with our great Senator Stevens?RUSH: You mean the raid on his home by IRS and other agents?CALLER: Yes, sir.RUSH: I don't know what they found. I know they're looking to see if he's accepted gratuities above and beyond what's legal and...

RUSH: Listen closely. First here is an editorial from yesterday's Washington Times. "Unsatisfied with thwarting a Republican effort to authorize $3 billion for a border fence, congressional Democrats are trying to enhance the incentive for illegal aliens to enter the United States by removing the citizenship requirement from the popular State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP)." We've talked about their attempts to update and revise this program. It comes up for renewal. This is the...

RUSH: "A top Democrat lawmaker today dismissed the findings of two long-time Iraq war critics who cited a dramatic improvement in the situation." This is the New York Times op-ed from yesterday. John Murtha, former Marine, congressional heavyweight on military matters, said, "I dismiss it as rhetoric. I don't know where they were staying. I don't know what they saw, but I know this, that it's not getting better." Murtha was on CNN saying this. "It's over-optimist. It's an illusion." There...

RUSH: Freda in Los Angeles. I'm glad you waited, Freda, welcome to the EIB Network. CALLER: Oh, yes.RUSH: Hi, Freda. How are you?CALLER: Fine. How are you?RUSH: Never better.CALLER: Listen, I'm a Middle Eastern, and American by choice, and an ex-feminist and a liberal. Anyway, I just want to second the caller that you had before regarding the American forces making a difference in the Middle East. It is true. The Middle East is not going to be the same again because of the American forces....

RUSH: All right, the spat between Mrs. Clinton and Barack Obama. The last time something like this happened, it was a spat between Elizabeth Edwards and Hillary, in which Elizabeth said, (paraphrasing) "My husband's more of a woman than you are, Mrs. Clinton, because he cares more about women's issues and does more about it than you do," and blah, blah, a little contretemps. Bill Clinton had to go on Good Morning America in sort of a demeaning appearance to defend his wife's femininity and didn't...

RUSH: To the phones we go, Jesse in Houston. This guy was in Afghanistan when I was there, and has a report. Hey, Jesse, how are you?CALLER: I'm doing fine, sir, how are you?RUSH: Never better, sir. Glad you called.CALLER: Thank you. I just got back. I've been home for two weeks now, and I'm going to tell you one thing. The base that you were at was in Kandahar, and that's where I was. You went to visit us there. I did not get a chance to see you because of security restrictions and everything....

RUSH: Moving on here, ladies and gentlemen. Little noticed story. I did the Morning Update today on this. A little noted story recently from Mrs. Clinton, presidential candidate and front-runner for the Democrat nomination. She was speaking to college students. She promised to create a new layer of government. She promised that if she were elected president, she would create a national academy to train future government workers. "I'm going to be asking a new generation to serve. I think...

RUSH: Rush Limbaugh firing on all cylinders and more, guided here by a working philosophy taught to me by George Toma, the official groundskeeper for the National Football League. He was groundskeeper for the Kansas City Royals, Kansas City Chiefs when I worked for the Royals in the late seventies through the early eighties. I saw George at the Super Bowl in Atlanta. During the pregame I'm upstairs in the press box. I look down and there's George Toma, the head honcho of the whole ground crew,...

RUSH: Just as I predicted yesterday, the Drive-Bys and the Democrats are in an utter state of denial. This column that came out yesterday in the New York Times by former Kerry campaign advisor and a former member of the Clinton administration, both now at the Brookings Institution, just had the cable news Drive-Bys fit to be tied. The Democrats are in total denial. Not all of them, though. It's interesting that James Clyburn, who is the House Democratic whip, he's from South Carolina, in an...

Story #1: House Dems Create Impeachment Investigation Panel; Ruth Marcus: Gonzales Did Not Commit Perjury RUSH: Well, isn't this just rich? "House Democrats are going to put together what is being called an impeachment investigation." They're going to move this forward. I predicted that this would be part of their battle plan back in 2004 if they lost the presidency. So they want to put together some panel to do an impeachment investigation, to see if it is warranted. They also want to try to file...
