RUSH: All right, let's go through a little timeline here. Jeremiah Wright, "America's chickenssss-ach are coming home to roost." "God-bleep America!" Barack Obama: "Well, I was in the church for 20 years; I never heard that." Bill Ayers blew up the Pentagon, blew up the Capitol, blew up some people in their house. Barack Obama: "He's just a guy in my neighborhood. I was a young boy when he was doing those despicable acts." Governor Rod Blagojevich, selling a Senate seat. "I had no idea...

*Please Note: As you will read in the transcript below, it appears that Rush's instincts on this story were right, but the staff forced him to read a hoax. Joseph Olson is a professor at Hamline University, but he has posted the following disclaimer on his website in reference to a version of the story that Rush read on-air."DISCLAIMER: There is an e-mail floating around the internet dealing with the 2000 Bush/Gore election, remarks of a Scotish philosopher named Alexander Tyler, etc. Part of it...

Hello.CALLER: Good morning, Rush.RUSH: Hi.CALLER: My first question when I turned on the television yesterday morning was, "What is the going rate to become a Senator to an appointed position?" I watch all these talking heads talking about, "Oh, they've never heard of such a thing! It's never happened before," and I said, "No. You know, there's nothing new under the sun." These people do this all the time. And then I started...

Greetings. Welcome back. Rush Limbaugh, the EIB Network and the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies. Your phone calls are coming up in this hour. Thank you for holding...

The Associated Press is piling on Obama today. After the first story, "Questionable Associations of Obama," they actually ran a story saying that he knows Blagojevich, he knows Tony Rezko, he knows Jeremiah Wright, he knows Bill Ayers, he knows Emil Jones, he knows Rashid Khalidi, and he knows Michael Pfleger. These people in AP, they're shameless, telling us all these things now. And then there's this from Liz Sidoti: "President-elect Barack Obama hasn't even stepped into office and already...

Yes, yes, we're going to get to the auto bailout. This really steams me, by the way. Well, you know, I'm getting so sick and tired...

An unidentified reporter said, "Did you have any contact with or were you aware at all of what was happening with your Senate seat?"OBAMA: I had no contact with the governor what -- or, uhhh -- or his office, uhhh, and...

RUSH: Breathe easy. Breathe easy, my friends. Relax out there. Calm down. The scandal in the Blagosphere involving Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich does not affect President-select Obama. I know this for a fact, and I will share with you how I know this for a fact in mere moments, but fear not, breathe easy. Your president-elect is not corrupt.
