RUSH: I mentioned this earlier in the program, my friends. Last night, minding my own business, as I always do, working feverishly on show prep for this program, became aware of a blog posting at ABC News. In fact, let me go over here and get this. "Limbaugh begins second phase of Operation Chaos," is the headline. I read this piece, and I forget the blogger at ABC who posted it, but it was panic filled. Well, not panic filled, but there was an element of fright in this, that I had initiated...

RUSH: All right, let me see if I can make this point. I normally communicate very well. A 55-mile-an-hour speed limit, the express purpose here is to save oil and to conserve gasoline and all that. We do not have a shortage. We don't have a shortage, I don't care what anybody's telling you. Whenever you go to the pump, it's there, is it not? Okay. We don't have a shortage. So cutting back to 55 is simply another gimmick, and it will bollix everything up. There's a reason that it was repealed....

RUSH: Senator Phil Gramm. You may have heard about this, ladies and gentlemen. Phil Gramm did an interview with the Washington Times, and he is a top economic advisor to Senator McCain. Finally we got some hard-hitting truth from the McCain campaign. Phil Gramm referred to the economic slowdown as a "mental recession" and called the United States a nation of whiners. Mike Allen writing this at Politico.com says that these comments by Phil Gramm "could hurt the campaign's efforts to convince...

RUSH: I'm going to ask you a question. I was thinking about this driving in today. I keep hearing about this 55-mile-an-hour speed limit. In fact, I gotta take a break. John Warner, Republicans pushing this, a lot of people, 'cause we're hearing about how many hundreds of thousands of barrels a day of oil that we can save by cutting the speed limit back to 55. And, of course, this is bogus. I have a question about that when we come back. Don't go away.BREAK TRANSCRIPTRUSH: The 55-mile-an-hour...

RUSH: Great illustration from the media monopoly known as the Associated Press here on the kid-glove coverage for the Lord Messiah Barack Obama by David Espo. This is a story about the Lord Messiah Obama's shift in voting for telecom immunity in the FISA bill. Reading this story is the Twilight Zone, begins this way: "Sen. Barack Obama's vote in favor of anti-terrorist surveillance legislation on Wednesday marked an about-face on the issue that left him comfortably in the bipartisan middle,...

RUSH: Amazing story in the Los Angeles Times today by Michael Finnegan and Mark Z. Barabak: "Democrats Take Obama Shift in Stride," by grabbing their ankles. Now, they didn't put that in the headline; I added that. But a lib gets it in this story. "As Barack Obama moves to broaden his appeal beyond loyal Democrats, a chorus of anger and disappointment has arisen from the left. But those voices are a distinct minority because the party has a more pressing concern: winning in November. On Wednesday,...

RUSH: Before we go to the break, ladies and gentlemen, the Democrat National Committee got wind yesterday of my ordering Phase II of Operation Chaos. They are ecstatic. You know, Phase II of Operation Chaos, they're going to have these nationwide platform meetings where they want you, the members of the voting class, to show up at these various meetings around the country, while they pretend that what they hear from you will affect what their platform's going to be. So this is the next phase....
