RUSH: Mitt Romney on Hannity & Colmes last night has really, really upset Clinton, Inc. This is what he said about Hillary Clinton.ROMNEY: She's never run anything.

She hasn't run anything, and the government of the United States is not a place for a president to be an intern.RUSH: "The government is not a place for the president to be an intern."

You know, Charlie Rangel proposed this massive huge tax increase, $1 trillion, just is a trial balloon, and it's Mrs. Clinton's tax increase, and I don't care what anybody thinks, and she's trying to distance herself. Pelosi's trying to distance herself from it. But they floated this, and they have no intention of this being passed this year or next. This is for 2009 when they win. But there's this little glitch in there,...

RUSH: I mentioned that Dr. Spencer sent me a little note today that the lack of hurricane activity over the past two years could lead to super hurricanes down the road, because hurricanes have a natural cooling effect on the oceans of the world, because they churn it up. The churn factor will bring cold water that's deep up to the surface, thereby cooling surface temperatures and so forth, and this dissipates heat from the oceans, which is good. Then Dr. Spencer at the end threw in this fact that,...

RUSH: Snerdley brought in a little bird. He has pet birds, and this is a parrotlet, the tiniest parrot that there is, and he's named the bird Stumpy. It's the cutest little thing in there, and apparently he has two other birds, and he mated the two other birds, and Stumpy got caught in the nesting material, and the two other birds, to save Stumpy's life, they amputated his right leg, it looks like. So Stumpy's running around with one leg. Well, he's hopping around with one leg. Snerdley brought...

So this person asked him, "What's your take on this, because I know you are the expert on this and you can explain this." This...
