RUSH: I need to correct something I said yesterday. Talking about the Gang of Ten, I got confused, and I mentioned that Senator Jim DeMint was a member of the Gang of Ten. He is not. Jim DeMint is opposed to the Gang of Ten and has publicly said that he would vote against the plan of the Gang of Ten, and I wanted to apologize to Senator DeMint. I understand his office was besieged with phone calls yesterday. It was just a slip of the tongue error. Jim DeMint is not a member of the Gang of Ten...

RUSH: We have been talking, ladies and gentlemen, about the situation in the Democrat convention where a lot of Democrats are sort of buzzing and whispering behind the scenes. They're nervous. They're nervous that Obama has caved and turned the whole convention over to the Clintons. They're wondering if he gave up too much. They're wondering. He's not leading in polls. He's not securing the votes of women, by the way. I had that in the stack yesterday. Women are not flocking to Obama as you would...

RUSH: A couple of weeks ago, some friends of mine came by and screened a movie for me called Henry Poole is Here. It stars Luke Wilson and some other people. I sat there and watched it, and it started out, and I thought, "This is going to be boring as hell. Why can't they bring me some shoot-'em-up action flick?" I couldn't take my attention away from it. I kept watching it and watching it and watching it, and finally it was over, and I had not looked at my watch once, and I said, "I don't think...

RUSH: Bill in Reading, Pennsylvania, you're up next. Open Line Friday. Hello.CALLER: Rush, hello, thanks for all that you do. I want to go back to the oil drilling legislation, and I have two points with regard to that. I agree, we're all glad the price has come down of oil on to where it is today, but it's still too high, and I think we've gotta keep the pressure on the Congress for when they come back to pass good domestic oil drilling legislation. Second point is, if somehow the Democrats...

RUSH: There's something going on with the McCain campaign here as the selection process dwindles down for the vice presidency, and it looks like McCain advisors are laying the groundwork for either picking a Democrat, Joe Lieberman, or a pro-choice Republican to further McCain's move to the center and the left to pick up disaffected Obama voters; 'cause they're just assuming that those of us in the base will show up and solidify -- in fact, they think that's already happened. But they think we're...

RUSH: We're going to go back, ladies and gentlemen, February 26th of this year, the program was one of the debates. It was a debate in Cleveland, and it was moderated by Tim Russert.

Story #1: See, I Told You So: Oil Price Drops, Market Works RUSH: I don't like to be a See, I Told You So. But have you seen the price of oil per barrel today? It's 112 bucks. It got down to as low as 111. The point is it's a three-month low, down from 150, 148 at one point; and one of the reasons is that the dollar is strengthening.
