RUSH: Remember I said yesterday that I was noticing some of the early obituaries and columns about Mr. Buckley were missing so much of who he was, what he was, and what he meant to the country, not just the conservative movement. Since the program ended, there have been other entries, and they are frankly absurd. I can give you an example of one here that was posted on Katie Couric's blog yesterday afternoon.

I have details on that coming up. For those of you who think I have a problem with Senator McCain, wait 'til you hear George Will's column on Senator McCain today. The Drive-By Media continued to misreport, either by design or by accident, this whole controversy over Obama's middle name and me. Twice now in...

RUSH: This Howard Dean comment that their team, that their field, Hillary and Obama looks like America, and our field looks like the 1950s and sounds like the 1850s, I kind of skirted past that, but this deserves some comment, because there have been countless conservative black candidates, conservative high officials, and they have never been treated with respect that is demanded of Obama supporters in and out of the media. We can start with Clarence Thomas, Dr. Thomas Sowell, Michael Steele in...

Thank you for honoring the father of modern-day conservatism, William F. Buckley today. That was a fitting tribute.

Former mailman dittos to you, Rush.RUSH: Appreciate that, sir.CALLER: I got a comment and then a question after that, if I could. My comment is that any one of these people running for president is going to change our daily life simply because nationalized health care is going to be on the forefront of their agenda.

RUSH: Dan in Pompano Beach, Florida, as we go back to the phones, I'm glad you waited, sir, welcome to the program.CALLER: Hi, Rush.

Hello.CALLER: It's a pleasure, Rush.RUSH: Yeah.CALLER: With regard to what you were saying earlier, the same criticism of the conservatives by the left which you've outlined today is the same rationale the Democrats are using to reject the Clintons.

RUSH: To the audio sound bites, Tuesday night, CNN Live, this is the debate. Barack Obama said this about being president.OBAMA: As commander-in-chief, I will always reserve the right to make sure that we are looking out for American interests, and if Al-Qaeda is forming a base in Iraq, then we will have to act in a way that secures the American homeland and our interests abroad.RUSH: Yeah, this is after Obama had said he'd pull everybody out of there. He'd pull all of the troops out of there,...

Story #1: Howard Dean: Republicans are Old, White, CorruptRUSH: Howard Dean showed up to talk about Black History Month at Georgetown and ended up talking politics. It was Tuesday night and he ended up basically saying that, with a woman and an African-American as the two front-runners, the Democrat field looks like America, while the all-white-male Republican field looks like the 1950s and talks like the 1850s. Anyway, I think this is just Howard Dean trying to talk about how young and energetic...
