Heather Wilson, Republican congress-babe from New Mexico, was a guest on Chris Matthews' show and the other guest was Robert Wexler, the representative from Congress from down in Boca, although he doesn't have a house there. We just learned this. He lives in Maryland. His official residence is his mother's house where they don't allow kids. He's got three kids. Nevertheless that's not the story. They were on discussing the Obama speech...

OBAMA: The American people greatly appreciate, uh, President Sarkozy's, uh, uh, approach to, uh, the relationship between our two countries. When he came as president now, to speak, uh, he was treated like a rock star. Everybody loved him, uh, and, uh, I think it was after that that, uh, everybody decided to call French fries "French fries" again. RUSH:...

RUSH: The Wall Street Journal: You find out that the thing that's most on people's minds is not Baghdad, it's not Iraq, it isn't Afghanistan, it isn't Germany, it's not the Victory Column, it's not Obama. It's the economy. "Congress will likely break for the summer without passing legislation to curb high gasoline prices, but Americans are fashioning their own energy policy founded on conservation and support for more production." Once again, a huge opportunity for all Republicans. The American...

RUSH: It's fascinating out there, ladies and gentlemen, to watch the Drive-By Media continue to run the risk of dying from anal poisoning. They continue to salivate as disciples over Obama. By the way, if you've checked your newspaper today, I guarantee you there's probably a large picture of Obama taken from behind him showing the massive throng in front of the Victory Column. This is what will be remembered. Nobody's going to remember the speech, the words of this speech. They probably don't...

RUSH: Before getting started, here at our EIB Southern Command we are being overrun with gardenia-scented candles. This goes back, it's got to be six weeks ago now, maybe a month ago, that I was expressing frustration that I could not find a large gardenia-scented candle made by Jo Malone. That complaint has resulted in our having a candle farm here. I think these things are multiplying. All sizes, all shapes, they are all gardenia-scented and they don't all smell the same. It's gotten to the...
