RUSH: The Reverend Jeremiah Wright is back. He was in Washington, DC, yesterday morning at Howard University, gave the sermon there. Here's a portion of what he said.WRIGHT: He can't do that. Can't -- can't no black man win in Iowa. That's the whitest state in the nation. The Lord stepped into a scrawny black kid's story and gave him new ability. Michelle Obama is the first African-American sleeping in the White House legally, and she is sleeping there not as a kept woman like Sally Hemings,...

RUSH: I've got a little heads-up for you on Obama's immaculation tomorrow. The Obama immaculation address is 17 minutes long, and he wrote it himself, as opposed to David Axelrod. That's the PR, that Obama wrote the speech himself. I can't believe it's only going to be 17 minutes. That's barely two inhales for Obama. John Kennedy said, "Keep it short" so he's going to follow? Soaring and brilliant? Okay, so he's going to do Kennedy now in addition to Lincoln and FDR. Anyway, personal responsibility,...

RUSH: I want you to sit down, folks, if you can, while I share with you the details of the latest story from CNN. The headline: "Monumental Expectations for Obama's Inauguration Address -- President-elect Barack Obama's inaugural address is one of the most anticipated speeches in decades, with many expecting his words to be chiseled into marble some day." (laughing) This is just comical. To watch what was a once-great major institution descend into pure groupie-ism. "Obama has said he has been...

RUSH: On Friday, ladies and gentlemen, I was minding my own business. It was 6:30 in the evening. I was in the process of vegging, enjoying a quiet Friday night at home, to indulge my own desires. And Kathryn, the beautiful, incomparable Kathryn Rogers walked in, "What did you do today? I didn't have a chance to listen to you." I said, "What are you talking about?" "They can't stop talking about you on CNN." And I started thinking, what did I do today that would have upset people at CNN?...

RUSH: A programming note for those of you who are affiliates on the EIB Network, just as a reminder we are going to carry the immaculation tomorrow. We're going to carry the Immaculate Inauguration, the swearing in and the speech, the inaugural address by Barack Obama. There will be live commentary as we are known for here on the EIB Network during the immaculation address itself. However, ladies and gentlemen, I don't think at this point in time that we are going to stick with coverage of the...

RUSH: Ladies and gentlemen: The Messiah, Lord Barack Obama, the Most Merciful, was painting a wall today at a homeless shelter in the outer sectors of the nation's capital. While painting the wall he took time-out to talk to the assembled multitudes.OBAMA: Given the crisis that we're in and hardships that so many people are goin' through, we can't allow any idle hands. Everybody's gotta be involved. Everybody's going to have to -- everybody's going to have to pitch in. And I think [the] American...

Story #1: Steelers-Ravens More Brutal Than AdvertisedRUSH: As I mentioned earlier, I was in Pittsburgh for the AFC championship game last night between the Steelers and the Baltimore Ravens, and I tell you, whatever you've read about it -- and it's been descriptive, brutal, and so forth -- you don't know the half of it. It was quite a game, and it was a great bit of fun. The casual football fan I don't think really appreciates all of the elements of football. Last night, Willis McGahee... I mean,...
