RUSH: Let me give you the speech that Clinton really wanted to give, folks. You know I'm right. This is not what he wanted to say. Here's what he wanted to do. This is what he wanted to go out and say: (doing Clinton impression) "My fellow Democrats, I have never been so ticked off in my life as I am tonight addressing you. Look at what's happening out there, gas prices are through the roof, food prices are through the roof. We have successfully demonized a war in Iraq. We successfully demonized...

Hi.CALLER: With utmost respect, Rush, from a very blessed third-time caller.RUSH: Thank you, sir.CALLER: Thank you for watching the convention for us so I don't have to.RUSH: (chuckles) Yeah.CALLER: Rush, this country has come a long way. I mean, it used to be a bright talented young man might be passed over a position just because he was black, and now we have a bumbling inexperienced young man whose only qualification is that he is...

RUSH: This show tonight at Invesco Field at Mile High, and everybody's been trying to figure out what the set is that they've built. It's either a Greek temple or they're trying to replicate the surroundings of Martin Luther King's "I Have a Dream" speech. Whatever it is, I read something at the American Thinker website today. After reading it, I happened to see the best shot of this set that I have seen yet. Apparently, The Messiah, after leaving the convention last night, went over to Invesco...

RUSH: Dave in Stevensville, Maryland. Welcome to the EIB Network.CALLER: Hey, mega salutes to my commander-in-chief.RUSH: Thanks very much, sir.CALLER: Before I get to the Weathermen faction of the SDS, I'd like to say something about that Joe Biden, that little person that lives across from us in Delaware.

RUSH: Hey, folks, do you want to have a little fun tonight? I mean... Yeah, it might be a little fun. We used to suggest this when I hosted my television show. Whenever Clinton press conference or State of the Union speech or something was coming up, we'd tell people to make little signs that you could tape to the TV screen to remind you what you're watching so as to keep focused rather than being lulled by what you were hearing. So with Obama speaking tonight, if you want to have some fun,...

RUSH: Switching gears, let's go to the convention. You know, next week the Republican convention kicks off on Monday and out there is Hurricane Gustav, also known as Katrina 2. Now, I'm watching it last night, told you, I'm a student of these things, those of us who live in south Florida are. Snerdley hasn't gotten into it 'cause he knows that he can rely on me to tell him everything so he doesn't have to waste his time on the computer. But I watched it last night, maybe late yesterday afternoon,...

RUSH: I want to describe for you exactly how it is that the Obama campaign operates behind the scenes, the brutal ruthlessness, the smear tactics of this campaign. This situation I'm going to tell you about, something the Drive-Bys will not tell you about, and it is an insight, it is a clear insight into how Obama would govern. Before I get to the big story, you probably heard about the ABC reporter on their investigative unit that was arrested on a public sidewalk in Denver taking pictures of...

RUSH: I almost couldn't take it last night. I almost could not take it. I knew Bill Clinton was going to do what he always does, and that's go out and lie through his teeth. But then Biden comes on, and some of the stuff that came out of Biden's mouth, a noted plagiarizer, Clinton a noted perjurer, both these guys on full display, and the slobbering media swallowed it all. I had to hear these two speeches, and then I listened and I read analysts talking about how effective both speeches were,...

Story #1: Rasmussen Finds One-Point Bump for Obama RUSH: I mentioned that Scott Rasmussen says he's seeing the beginnings of a bounce for Obama, and the Democrats of course talking about, "We're in a recession." They want everybody to believe we're in soup line America. The latest quarter growth rate is 3.3%. If there's any recession, it's in the Obama campaign!
