RUSH: Ladies and gentlemen, I need to address something here. I meant to do this at the beginning of the program and I was so excited to get back and had so many things to talk about that it slipped my mind until just now. Last Thursday I was out on the golf course with the reprobate golf buddies, and I get this panicked e-mail from the IT people for the website that apparently there was a crash. The whole site just crashed. And even though I was taking the day off, they thought that I should...

RUSH: Mike in Atlanta, you're next on the EIB Network. Hello, sir. Nice to have you with us.CALLER: How you doing?RUSH: Just fine, sir.CALLER: Now, listen.

And I thought, hot damn. You remember when this all was going on, and Paulson was, "We're going to bail out Wall Street," and remember, "We're going to buy...

RUSH: Let's talk about Hillary and secretary of state. Very, very brilliant move. You know the old adage keep your friends close, your enemies closer? This is a textbook case of keeping your enemies closer. He's also going to appoint Clinton as an envoy to the world or the Middle East or somewhere. I don't know, gets him out of the country. You know, gets him over there. But Hillary as secretary of state, people are asking, "What are her qualifications for secretary of state?" Doesn't matter,...

RUSH: I have to tell you a little story. I had a great weekend. A bunch of my golf buddies were in town for the weekend, and we had on Saturday night some other people show up for dinner at casa El Rushbo.
