RUSH: Joey in Hope Mills, North Carolina, welcome to the EIB Network. Hello. CALLER: Thank you very much, Rush. Thanks for having me on. I wanted to let you know that I think the primary reason that Mike Huckabee is rising in the polls is the implementation of the FairTax and the abolition of the IRS. It's not being talked about by a lot of folks, predominantly in the bureaucracies and people that are dependent on that business for their income, but it's a grassroots effort for a lot of people...

RUSH: Let's do a little analysis here and get started on all this. The liberals constantly complain about the politics of personal destruction, do they not? While doing so, they want us to ignore the Clinton marriage, they want to us ignore Chelsea, but they're digging up all they can on Rudy's marriages, the Drive-Bys are, and the liberals, who want that kind of thing off the table when they are the focus, but can't wait to dig up all this stuff on Rudy. Romney is going to give a speech about...

RUSH: From The Politico, this was from the 30th. Was that Friday? Yeah, Friday was the 30th. This came in after the program was over on Friday. "'Democrats: Voters Shifting Focus From Iraq.' -- Congressional Democrats are reporting a striking change in districts across the country: Voters are shifting their attention away from the Iraq war." Ahem. Ahem. Who, ladies and gentlemen, mere months ago predicted to you that this would be the case, that the Iraq war would not be an issue in the...

RUSH: Grab number 19 out there, Ed. Mrs. Clinton got booed on the phone. She was appearing in an Iowa event by phone Saturday, couldn't get there because of weather. The Immigrant and Refugee Rights member Billy Lawless has asked her a question. He's not happy with her response. He asked her, "Will you in the first hundred days, will you come up with comprehensive immigration reform?" Well, she did the usual Hillary dance around it, didn't mention the first hundred days, so he fired back with...

RUSH: I mentioned at the top of the program that Mrs. Clinton got all this fawning, loving coverage over the weekend about how presidential she was in dealing with the hostage crisis at her campaign headquarters in New Hampshire, but it didn't last. The Drive-Bys have forgotten that. She's bearing the claws. You know, we really owe Barack Obama a little bit of an attaboy, and I think we need to sort of be somewhat supportive of Barack Obama in this latest quest, because he's getting ready here...

RUSH: I played the best round of golf in my life on Saturday. It was such a hoot. I was hitting the ball farther than I've ever hit it in my life. I was hitting the ball more accurately than I have ever hit it in my life. I was putting better than I have ever put it in my life, on a very challenging and difficult golf course, and I played with people who have seen me play before, and they were stunned. Frankly, they were stunned. They just couldn't believe it. I was playing with a good friend...

RUSH: We've added a fourth song to our global warming update rotation. Paul Shanklin, a well-known white comedian and song stylist and impressionist. Here is Algore, I Started a Joke. (Playing I Started a Joke) RUSH: That's such a great song, I Started a Joke by the Bee Gees. It's a great song for the mentally disturbed, but nevertheless a great song, and that's Algore's cover. All right, the Global Warming Stack today. Try this headline: "Drought Makes Amazon Rainforest Greener." Drought would...

RUSH: "When the hostages had been released and their alleged captor arrested, a regal-looking Hillary Rodham Clinton strolled out of her Washington home, the picture of calm in the face of crisis." This made me want to puke. This is an AP story, and it's from December 1st. "The image, broadcast just as the network news began..." I wonder how that happened? She just happened to walk out of the house there looking regal right as the nightly newscast began. "The image, broadcast just as the network...

RUSH: If there was somebody in the world that had more inevitability about his election future than Mrs. Clinton, it was Hugo Chavez, who, interestingly, also has the same initials as Hillary Clinton, H. C. Hugo Chavez was even more inevitable than Hillary Clinton. He had even more control of the media in Venezuela than she does here. He has even more power to kneecap opponents than she does. And yet he lost! Venezuela won! He had a reform package, quote, unquote, reform package that would...
