RUSH: I'm just checking the e-mail. "Rush, Obama, you're not even talking about him. He's lying in all of his ads. He's lying about McCain and Social Security, lying about McCain and stem cells." Hey, folks, he's lying about me. But why wouldn't Obama lie in his ads? First, he's a liberal. Second, he knows the Drive-Bys are never going to call him on it. Not en masse, not in a serious way, not in a way that hurts him. Folks, Barack Obama is down to one thing: All of the glitter and all...

RUSH: We're going to go to Kokomo, Indiana. This is Paul. Paul, thank you so much for waiting. I appreciate it.CALLER: I'm very honored to speak with you.RUSH: Thank you, sir.CALLER: I do believe that Democrats are shaking in their boots 'cause you get this random -- not really random -- story about how one-third of Americans are going to be voting early. That seems like an awfully high number. My question is, how many of these voters are going to be voting in Michigan, Virginia, Ohio, Pennsylvania,...

RUSH: Okay, more audio sound bites. And, ladies and gentlemen, we have four of them coming up with the esteemed Barney Frank (Democrat-Massachusetts). Barney used to be a regular fixture on this program with frequent utterances and scandals himself involving -- what was it that was going on in his basement with his boyfriend? Oh, yeah, the prostitution ring going on. The rumor is -- it was straight-up prostitution, but -- patrolling schools, right, and so forth. It was going on in Barney's basement,...

RUSH: We got here a little A-B, side-by-side comparison to show you the similarity in philosophy and beliefs of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of Iran and the Democrat presidential nominee, Barack Hussein Obama. Now, there's not much difference in these two guys except one of them speaks Iranian, and therefore needs a translator. So here's the first, this on Iraq, America was wrong, Iraq is now occupied six years later. Here's Ahmadinejad before the UN yesterday.AHMADINEJAD: Iraq was attacked under the...

RUSH: This is absurd. This is comical. I'm watching the Drive-Bys here during the break. Do you know what the big topic on MSNBC right now is? Bush's speech tonight on the economy, nine o'clock. I'm not going to tell you what he's going to say, but I know what he's going to say. They brought in the big gun anchors at two o'clock in the afternoon to do a seven-hour pregame show on the president's nine o'clock speech. And you know what the big topic is? Executive pay. "He better make sure...

RUSH: Carlos in Weston, Florida. Carlos, I'm glad you waited. Welcome to the EIB Network. Hello, sir. CALLER: Hey, Rush, thanks for taking that guy Joe to the woodshed earlier.RUSH: Thank you very much, sir.CALLER: Rush, that Tony Blankley piece that you read earlier is a perfect example of why John McCain needs to get ahead of this thing. He had a golden opportunity on 60 Minutes and he just pandered and now they're hitting them over the head with it on that New York Times piece. So I just...

RUSH: The fundamentals of the US economy are sound. Snerdley says, "You don't believe that," and so I have to 'splain. See, he thinks that you all are just teetering on the edge of collapse, disaster, bankruptcy, and all of that. And when I say the economy's fundamentals are sound it makes it sound like I am out of touch. So I'm going to tell you why you feel what you feel. It ain't the economy. It isn't. Hang on. But here's Max Boot in the Los Angeles Times today: "Don't Sell America's...

RUSH: Warren Buffett, his picture headlines the Drudge Report, and the headline is: "The Savior?" with a question mark. Now, I want to know something. Here's what Warren Buffett did. He just purchased $5 billion worth of Goldman Sachs stock. It's a publicly traded company. Anybody can buy shares on the open market, but not shares like these. Warren Buffett, who is a Democrat, gets 10% interest a year -- every year forever. You can't get that. He gets options to buy another $5 billion worth...

RUSH: Speaking of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, you know what really is at the root of this: high-risk loans. High-risk loans. People had no way of paying them backs. They weren't even asked about their ability in many cases, they weren't asked to fill out the income or anything like that. High-risk loans were made on not much more than hope that they would be paid back, and each of these dead-end mortgages were pooled and packaged and sold and resold and resold on the hope that they would be paid...

RUSH: The New York Times today... I want to get this done and over with. I've got a lot of other things I want to get here, too, today, since we started out on the media and they're in the tank for Obama and so forth with polls and everything. The New York Times today is just... I really don't know how to describe this. This is a paid campaign ad on the front page. This is as though Obama wrote the script for the New York Times, they put it under the names of Jackie Calmes and David Kilpatrick....

RUSH: I was on Fox News yesterday afternoon, Martha MacCallum's show at five in the afternoon, and she asked me a question, and I didn't quite hear everything she said, but the gist of the question was, "How come the McCain campaign is not letting Palin interact with the media?" And it had to do with the fact she's at the United Nations and she's meeting all these world leaders and so forth. So today I see the Politico has a story: "'Palin Press Relationship Gets Testy' -- Sarah Palin's relationship...

RUSH: Apparently our new Operation Chaos, Save Our Biden -- SOB -- is working. They sent him out in Cincinnati today for a major, major, major, major, big, big policy address. And what do you think was the subject of his policy address? It was Iraq, the vast majority of this speech -- he's still talking -- and the vast majority of the speech is devoted to Iraq with things like finally George Bush is implementing Barack's policy. The only guy not following Barack's policy is John McCain. Now,...
