Bill Richardson endorsed, surprisingly, Barack Obama for the presidency. And James Carville called Richardson a 'Judas' for doing that. Now, it's been a few weeks. How do you feel?"CARVILLE: Well, I said it. I was quoted accurately. I was quoted in context. I thought it was an appropriate metaphor, and,...

RUSH: Do you remember, ladies and gentlemen, way back last year, during the heat of the Democrat primaries, or the run-up to the primaries, I said the dirty little secret is, "If they win the White House, they're not getting out of Iraq. They have no intention of getting out of Iraq and saddling themselves with defeat. It ain't going to happen." Libs are starting to figure this out. There's a story in the New Republic by Michael Crowley. '[S]ome Washington foreign policy mandarins insist this...

RUSH: Okay, which of you in there are going to be the first to drive it? (interruption) Dawn's going to be the first to drive it. How come Dawn always gets to be the first to drive the new car?

To begin with, I've been listening to you for 19 years and my wife and I strongly admire what you do.RUSH: Thank you, sir.CALLER: However, I'm one of those so-called thugs that you referred to. A Chicago policeman from '68 that was one of Daley's so-called henchmen -- which we weren't, by the way, Rush. The media then was no different than it is today. They didn't show everything that these rabble-rousers were doing under...

RUSH: So, the North Carolina Republican Party is running an ad. Everybody seems to be missing the point of the ad. John McCain came out, and without having seen the ad, denounced it and said that it doesn't represent the kind of campaign he wants to run. He told the people in North Carolina to cancel it. The North Carolina people said (paraphrased), "Screw you! You couldn't run what we do. We're going to go ahead and do this." Bottom line... This ad is not really hard to figure out. This ad...
