RUSH: Appreciate that.CALLER: All right, my question is this.

RUSH: Get this. This is in the New York Times today. "As struggling newspapers across the country cut back on investigative reporting, a new kind of journalism venture is hoping to fill the gap. Paul E. Steiger, who was the top editor of The Wall Street Journal for 16 years, and a pair of wealthy Californians are assembling a group of investigative journalists who will give away their work to media outlets. The nonprofit group, called Pro Publica, will pitch each project to a newspaper or magazine...

RUSH: I want to go to the audio sound bites. Over the weekend, I saw the screaming red headline on the Drudge Report that General Sanchez had dropped this huge bomb, and the bomb was that the war in Iraq was hopeless -- we have no chance; it's been honorably run -- and the Drive-Bys seized on it, and the Democrats seized on it. It was a big deal. The only problem with this is that if you read everything that General Sanchez said or listened to everything he said, he really criticized the Drive-By...

RUSH: All right: this business with the Turks and the Kurds in northern Iraq and the United States Congress, the Democrats in particular. Speaking of the Democrats, by the way, they have now admitted they do not have the votes and will not have the votes to override the S-CHIP veto of President Bush. They do have the votes to override in the Senate, but they don't have the votes to override in the House, and there are two stories on this. The first story is how the Democrats don't have it and...

RUSH: Folks, you know I always like to share some of these things going on in my life with you. I'm in a real dilemma here. You know, my fashionable, Upper East Side penthouse here in New York? I moved into it in 1995, and I have done nothing to it since. I've not upgraded any of the electronics. I've not redecorated, because I'm not here that much. I'm probably here a total of 20 working days every year. There are specific reasons for that, involving New York tax authorities. But the electronics...

RUSH: Hillary Clinton was on The View today. By the way, she's now playing the Woman Card, ladies and gentlemen. The "campaign Monday made its most overt bid yet to highlight her historic potential as the possible first US woman president, suggesting female voters could vault her to victory. The front-running Democrat kicked off a week of events highlighting her perceived appeal to women, as her campaign released a memo implying she could best exploit the 'pivotal' voting bloc in 2008." Let's...

RUSH: Ladies and gentlemen, a programming note: Mr. Snerdley has been suspended for the day. He is, as you know, our call screener. Snerdley was sent home for the day earlier this morning. He will be back tomorrow if everything goes according to plan. There were two problems. He presented a call to me on the program last Friday involving human waste movements, clearly beneath the quality and decorum of this program. Snerdley thought it would be funny because it was about a South Park incident...
