RUSH: Snerdley and I had a conversation yesterday afternoon. It's going to become somewhat of a tradition for the big election issue of the Limbaugh Letter newsletter coming up in October. One of the things that he asked me about was do I ever see the end of dominance in the Drive-By Media? And I said, "I once asked Mr. Buckley if he ever envisioned the day where conservatism was the vastly dominant political ideology in the country, not just the way people live but the way they vote, and the...

RUSH: Here's Pamela Anderson in Trenton, Canada. This is six seconds long. This goes by real fast. Pamela Anderson standing out front a Kentucky Fried Chicken doing a paid appearance, was caught on camera. Well, she should have been in a Kentucky Fried Chicken doing a paid appearance. She really wasn't. An unidentified E-news Weekend Canada reporter asked her if she had seen a Newsweek article with Sarah Palin and the picture of the gigantic bear hide in her office.ANDERSON: I can't stand her....

RUSH: This is Seth in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Hello.CALLER: Hey, thanks for taking my call. I wanted to talk about the commercial you ran yesterday with the Iraqi soldier who lost part of his leg.RUSH: Yes. Joe Cook.CALLER: Yes. And from hearing people like Chris Matthews and those who talk about getting tingles going up their leg and spine, I'll tell you, that kind of put a tingle in my spine.RUSH: Yeah, it's amazing. It's a great thing to listen to, but to see it is what will give you...

RUSH: Now, here's Susan Sarandon, and we're going to keep it going: 12, 13, and 14 coming up here. This is Susan Sarandon. Last night on Entertainment Tonight, a reporter asked her what she thought of Sarah Palin.SARANDON: Jesus was a community organizer and Pontius Pilate was a governor. That's all I have to say!RUSH: (laughing) She can read her lines well, she can read what's on the Daily Kos blog. She can read what's on the Washington Post blog. She can listen to what all her other idiotic...

RUSH: There's a new Obama ad, ladies and gentlemen, that just started today, because remember, now, Obama, as the New York Times is reporting today that Obama "plans sharper tone as party frets." Story says that Obama's message was "disrupted" last week. Yeah? Disrupted by who? What message, by the way? You know, this is where they're really in trouble. He has no message. He has no message of change. Change isn't the message. He has no issue message. He's lost the rubric of change anyway....

RUSH: I thought about apologizing at the beginning of this hour for the first hour in this program, because we're trucking along really good, we're just having a grand old time and then I sucked all the oxygen out of the show by playing Obama and McCain sound bites. Both these guys at this forum last night sounded like they were asleep. I'm not being critical of them. I mean, they were at a very staid, respected institution. But it sort of sucked. You wouldn't believe the people on the other...

RUSH: Here's Eva Longoria Parker. This is a promo for tonight's 2008 La Raza awards airing on ABC.LONGORIA: After four years of sex and treachery in Desperate Housewives, I thought I was a perfect pick for vice president.RUSH: So they keep putting Sarah Palin down. "After four years of sex and treachery in Desperate Housewives I thought I was the perfect pick for vice president." Let 'em go, folks, let 'em go, we could not write a better script for these people for them to say these things if...

RUSH: I want to go to one Sarah Palin sound bite. This is perhaps one of the highlights of Sarah Palin's interview. It's number 23. It is one of the highlights of the whole interview last night. She's great in this. I just want to set up this. She would not allow Charlie Gibson to put different words in her mouth when she answers his question about Israel. Now, just listen to this. This is Gibson's question. "What if Israel decided it felt threatened and needed to take out the Iranian nuclear...

RUSH: Let's try Jesus, a community organizer in West Palm Beach. Great to have you on the phone, sir. Hello.CALLER: Mega dittos, Rush. It's been years I've been trying to get on your show.RUSH: Welcome aboard, sir!CALLER: Yes. I had been in the Marines for 27 years and I retired, and I've been a community organizer here in Palm Beach. My concern is, I'm a conservative like you, and I was leery about McCain, but being now that the Russians have landed Tu-160 in Venezuela, in our own hemisphere...

RUSH: Evelyn in Overland Park, Kansas. Hi. You're on Open Line Friday.CALLER: Yes, hi, Rush.RUSH: Hi.CALLER: I think maybe the person I talked to before I talked to you, my take is that people like Michael Moore and you and Hannity and Colmes and I have a list -- I don't have it in front of me, but -- I think you send your messages, you inflame people, and then we don't make up our own minds, and we take all these tidbits that you put out and think things are funny. Not just you. Like I say,...

RUSH: McCain appeared on The View today, and he was swarmed. He was ambushed, even by Baba Wawa. But of course Whoopi Goldberg was there, and Joy Behar. I have often articulated a philosophy, and I employ it often on this program: Never get into an argument with a fool, because when you do that the audience won't be able to tell the difference between you and the fool. The fool will drag you down if you don't know how to deal with them. So McCain goes in there. He answered all the questions. He...

RUSH: Here's our Obama bumper sticker. He's "going to make government cool again." This was Columbia University, the Service Nations Presidential Candidates Forum. Judy Woodruff was the moderator. She said to Obama, "So much is said that's critical about the people that are in Washington, the way Washington works, bureaucrats in Washington. How much responsibility do you think you and other presidential candidates this year have to change the rhetoric so that people who work in government, work...

RUSH: I'm sitting around, I'm minding my own business, I'm watching the Charlie Gibson excerpts there with Governor Palin. Here comes the fatalistic e-mails start rolling in from friends, I said, "Just calm down here. She's doing great. She's doing fine. There's nothing to worry about." One thing that people have to understand about all this, and I'll tell you who said this, Roger Simon said this on some cable network this morning. He was asked to review this. He said, (paraphrasing) "People...

Story #1: Consumer Confidence Hits Eight-Month HighRUSH: "Consumer confidence soared unexpectedly" -- gasp! -- "to an eight month high in September as lower fuel prices soothed inflation fears and made Americans more hopeful about the economy." Wait a minute, it was gas prices going down and not Obama that made people more hopeful? Hmm. This was according to a survey released Friday. "The Reuters/University of Michigan Surveys of Consumers said its preliminary index of confidence jumped to 73.1...
