RUSH: I have the San Francisco Chronicle in my formerly nicotine-stained fingers here today. It's a story by their Washington bureauette reporter Carolyn Lochhead: "Even if Democrats Win White House, Troops Likely to Remain in Iraq." Now, where did you first hear that, and how long ago? You first heard it on this program back in March or April. The light bulbs are starting to go off there in the Drive-By Media and with the rest of the Democrats. They're slowly getting around to seeing the point...

RUSH: All right, time to go to the audio sound bites. We're back for more comparing Mahmoud to Democrats. Now, I understand it's probably going to irritate a lot of Democrats, because they're not going to want to hear this. But, remember, I'm not saying any of these things. It's Mahmoud Ahmadinejad saying them, followed by a Democrat who basically said the same thing. Now, what we don't know here is who's parroting who, although my guess is that Mahmoud is parroting Democrats. That's why he...

RUSH: Defense appropriations bill: Good old Teddy Kennedy has plugged an amendment in this bill, a hate crimes amendment, and the amendment includes "gender identity" as a protected class against hate crimes, and even "perceived gender-related characteristics." Now, the original Kennedy language didn't go that far, but it has been marked up to include that now.But the term "perceived" in the amendment makes it really difficult to say that there's any class of individuals affected. Anybody could...

RUSH: Now, Nancy Pelosi melted down on CNN yesterday with Wolf Blitzer, who took her to task here, because he told her that her kook base is really angry that the Democrats have lost to Bush.

RUSH: I had a story in the stack yesterday. I had it at the top of the stack for 45 minutes, and the program was evolving in such a way that we never get to it, but this, folks, is pretty huge. It's an editorial from Investors Business Daily from Monday, entitled: "The George Soros Threat to Democracy -- George Soros is known for funding groups such as MoveOn.org that seek to manipulate public opinion. So why is the billionaire's backing of what he believes in problematic? In a word: transparency....

RUSH: Have you seen the stories, all the backlash, now at Lee Bollinger because he was rude to Mahmoud Ahmadinejad? In the New York Sun today: "'Backlash Against Bollinger Hits Columbia.' A backlash against the president of Columbia University, Lee Bollinger, who on Monday delivered a harsh rebuke to President Ahmadinejad, is coming from faculty members and students who said he struck an 'insulting tone' and that his remarks amounted to 'schoolyard taunts.' The fierceness of Mr. Bollinger's critique...

Uh, that's not what they have to decide. What they have to decide is whether it constitutes a poll tax. That's the way the opponents of this are trying to persuade people, because you gotta go out and buy your ID. You have...
