RUSH: Bill Moyers is just one of the latest to launch a Drive-By attack on Karl Rove. In and of itself, that's no big deal. But something has seriously happened to Bill Moyers. The train's off the tracks here, and somebody must have stood in front of him, made him take a dirt road here, because he's heading into the wilderness. This is last Friday on PBS' Bill Moyers Journal. We have a lot of sound bites. Here's the first one, a portion of his monologue about the president and Karl Rove.MOYERS:...

RUSH: Let's go back to the archives. You know we recently updated "In a Yugo" for "In a Hybrid," and little did I know how quickly we would need to go back and play "In a Yugo."(Playing "In a Yugo") RUSH: But that time has come. (Song continues) RUSH: They saved a lot of gas, but they didn't get far. (Song continues) RUSH: Ah, yes and I have here in my formerly nicotine-stained fingers, ladies and gentlemen, just a classic illustration of the tendency of Drive-Bys to really arrive late at...

RUSH: A couple of programming notes, ladies and gentlemen. I am returning to Sacramento, California, Friday, September 21st. I'm appearing in an annual program that the Sacramento Metro Chamber of Commerce puts on every year. It's entitled "Perspectives," and they bring in four or five people to speak for a time, and they sell tickets to the thing. I've received an invitation from my buddy Tom Sullivan this year, who emcees, and I have decided to go. Also on the speaker's roster is General John...

Thank you.CALLER: I've been thinking, and with Hillary -- she's pressing 60 now, and if she doesn't win the nomination or the election, isn't she pretty much finished in presidential politics?RUSH: Depends on who wins. In the case of a nomination, if another Democrat wins it, probably so. If a Republican wins, maybe not. But I think on balance...

RUSH: Stephanopoulos says, "This is basically a yes-no question. We've seen all this turmoil in the markets over the last couple of weeks caused by the credit crunch and the crisis in the mortgage markets. We saw on Friday the Federal Reserve lowered the discount rate for banks. Should they lower rates or everybody else, yes or no?"DODD: Yes, I think it will happen in September.

RUSH: The International Herald Tribune isowned by The New York Times, but this story has not appeared in the New York Times. In fact, the story hasn't appeared. We haven't found it anywhere. Los Angeles Times, Washington Post, none of the major newspapers. You remember many, many moons ago, ladies and gentlemen, I told you the dirty little secret of the Democrat Party is if they win the White House, they are not pulling troops out of Iraq. Headline, International Herald Tribune: "Clinton Sees...

RUSH: I don't do this very much. I'm going to make an exception. I got the cutest e-mail today from a woman named Maura La Piana. She's a subscriber to Rush 24/7 and her subject line was: "I lost my husband to you." I said, "Whoa, I better read this and call the lawyers." As I read it, it turns out I think they've been married for 17 years, and it's his birthday today. She wanted me to wish him a happy birthday. He used to be a big Democrat. She introduced him to me. Now that's all he'll...

RUSH: I love this story. "'Family Ties Key to Youth Happiness' -- So you're between the ages of 13 and 24. What makes you happy? A worried, weary parent might imagine the answer to sound something like this: Sex, drugs, a little rock 'n' roll. Maybe some cash, or at least the car keys. Turns out the real answer is quite different. Spending time with family was the top answer to that open-ended question, according to an extensive survey-- more than 100 questions asked of 1,280 people ages 13-24...

Story #1: Norwegian Criminals Don't Show Up for PrisonRUSH: This story is intriguing: "One out of five Norwegian criminals fail to show up to serve their sentence." This is from the Aftenposten newspaper in Norway. "Twenty percent of convicted criminals do not show up for their prison terms, according to the Norwegian Correctional Services. Prison authorities can do little but hope that the criminals will eventually come knocking on the prison door." Honest to gosh that's what it says! In fact,...
