Basically you want them to adopt the Democrat strategy of blaming...

RUSH: This is Blagojevich Friday at his press conference after the House had voted to impeach him. Here is a portion of his remarks.BLAGOJEVICH: We're joined here today by several families who benefited by some of the programs and some of the initiatives because I wouldn't take no for an answer, from a House that was designed to block everything that could help people for whatever their motivations. I understand the House's actions. I'm not at all surprised by it, but I took actions with the...

RUSH: I want to talk for a moment to those of you who are out of work. Can I have your attention please? Those of you that have been fired, those of you who have been laid off, not just recently, either, but maybe in the past six months or so, but particularly to those of you laid off in the past couple or three months. I want to speak brazenly honestly with you, extremely openly with you. As you know, I'm an optimist, and I have a philosophy that guides me most of the time, even I, strong and...

Hello.CALLER: Allen Brothers and Boston Legal mega dittos, Rush.RUSH: Thank you, sir, very much.CALLER: I was over at my in-laws' house last night watching the two-hour season seven of "24," and what a great show last night.

RUSH: Here's A.J. in Houston, as we go to the phones. A.J., great to have you here. Hello.CALLER: How you doing, Rush? Happy birthday to you.RUSH: Thank you very much, sir.CALLER: Happy New Year and all that. But, Rush, let me tell you something, as a black man, I feel we've been bamboozled by the media and by Obama. There's no way in the world -- black folks are never going to wake up and smell the coffee. Come on. You don't know nothing about the man. I did polls of my own and asked...

RUSH: It's not pretty out there. On Friday -- and I had a sneaking suspicion of this -- the seating in the United States Senate of Roland Burris from Illinois, the Senate doesn't want any part of him. Dick Durbin says that the Burris decision is likely before the end of the month, he was on Slay the Nation yesterday, Bob Schieffer said, "Does it at this point have the political will to do that, meaning the Senate, to seat Burris? You think somebody appointed by Blago should be seated in the US...

RUSH: I'm being interrupted. Staff is violating a 20-year-old rule. (singing along) Happy birthday to meee. You know, I'm softening on this stuff. Normally I woulda shut the microphone off and I'd have been cursing. (singing candle) What is that? DAWN: That's the song, a singing candle.RUSH: Oh, it's a singing candle. Okay. It's doing the happy birthday melody? Is it going to keep doing that 'til I blow it out? Okay, supposed to make a wish (blowing) missed it by two. What kind of cake...

RUSH: Let's go to This Week with Stephanopoulos, whose question was, "Which of your ambitions, which of your campaign promises will you have to scale back on because of the economic downturn?"OBAMA: I want to be realistic here. Uh, not everything that we talked about during the campaign are we going to be able to do on the pace that we had hoped.RUSH: Reeeeeeeeally? Not everything we promised, not everything we talked about we're going to be able to do. But remember, my friends: it's not what...

RUSH: There's a story in the Stack today, I think it's Business Week. It's entitled: "Why Banks Still Won't Lend." And they're not lending because they still don't have the reserves necessary to back up the loans, doing it the right way. Gone are the days of 30-to-one leverage where you lent 30 dollars for every dollar you had. Can't do that anymore, not going to do that anymore, isn't going to happen, and so they're hoarding what they've got from the $350 billion they got from the first TARP...

Story #1: Brut Poll on Chicago Democrats and Shower Sex RUSH: Dawn, have you heard of the men's cologne by the name of Brut? I don't know who uses Brut anymore. High school guys use Brut.
