RUSH: Ladies and gentlemen, as you know, General Motors has entrusted their product line to me and this program because they know that I am a huge American capitalist and that I have seen their operation. They're letting us drive some of their different cars, we're focusing on some of the advanced technologies that GM is using here to use less gasoline in their automobiles and they're working on some cars down the road they say will eventually use no gasoline whatsoever.

I was going to come in with one, and then I was just thinking about this second one.

RUSH: I got an idea for you Democrats. Maybe you could do this. Maybe the Democrats could count three-fifths of each vote in Florida and Michigan. Well, it beats not counting any of the votes at all. Do you realize what they're on the verge of doing here disenfranchising this many people? Exactly right, Snerdley, three-fifths. Well, I don't know where you've heard it before. I'm sure you've got a great historical context for this, but I chose this number not at random, I chose it on purpose....

RUSH:Well, the Obama campaign is conducting I guess their super-secret search for a vice presidential nominee. Now, you might be asking, "How can it be super-secret if everybody knows about it?" Well, because the Obama campaign leaked it. Now, he's not even a nominee yet, ladies and gentlemen. This is conceit on the part of the man who is destined to be the illegitimate nominee of the Democrat Party because millions of votes will have to be ignored and not counted, Florida and Michigan, in...

RUSH: Last night Charlie Rose, PBS, audio sound bite 14, the novelist and journalist Kurt Andersen was the guest. Charlie Rose said, "Can you make the argument about blogs are more liberal than conservative?"ANDERSON: There's a lot of conservative blogs.

It's true that no conservative blogger...

RUSH: The Queen Bee Syndrome has reared its head once again in our nation's capital where Nancy Pelosi, the speaker of the House, wants nothing to do with Mrs. Clinton leaving the Senate. She wants Mrs. Clinton not on the ticket; she doesn't want Mrs. Clinton as the nominee. Last night on the NewsHour with Jim Lehrer, the fill-in anchor Judy Woodruff spoke to the Queen Bee, Nancy Pelosi. Here's the question: "In fact, Senator Clinton said she's very much still in the fight. She's emphasizing...

RUSH: Let's go back to the Democrat Party nomination process here, shall we, ladies and gentlemen? As I said back on May 7th, it has become clear to me (and I think to all the Democrats, too) that the only way Obama can sail to victory here is by not counting votes, specifically the votes of Michigan and Florida. Now, what does that say, that the Democrat Party's nominee was only able to capture the prize because votes in two states were not counted? Now, after having listened to Mrs. Clinton...

RUSH: Ladies and gentlemen, here is Jonathan Chait at the New Republic blog. "Hillary Clinton's rhetoric today about counting the results in Florida and Michigan is simply incredible. Her speech compares discounting the Florida and Michigan primaries to vote suppression and slavery." It's worth repeating. They supported this disenfranchisement. Also at Politico.com, the Ben Smith blog: "Hillary Clinton compared her effort to seat Florida and Michigan delegates to epic American struggles, including...
