RUSH: Dan in Muskegon, Michigan, welcome to the EIB Network. Hello, sir.CALLER: Hey, Rush, what a total honor it is to talk to you, a foreman mailman dittos to you, sir.RUSH: Thank you very much. I appreciate that.CALLER: Our local Fox affiliate is quoting Obama as saying McCain has taken experience off the table by picking Sarah Palin and McCain has made experience his campaign issue.

RUSH: Dawn, are your liberal girlfriends listening to the program today, or are you just chatting with them? Dawn, who transcribes calls for me on a computer monitor here in case I have trouble hearing what people on the phone say, has been chatting, IMing with some of her liberal girlfriends -- and don't get on her for having liberal girlfriends.

RUSH: I want to go over this experience business another way. The libs are saying that Sarah Palin doesn't have any experience. Neither does Obama. I want to illustrate that.
