RUSH: Amazingly, ladies and gentlemen, some of the brightest, most informed and effective conservatism is now found on CNBC. Larry Kudlow has a program called The Kudlow Report. It's at 7 p.m. on CNBC. He's talking with Democrat Senator Bob Casey of Pennsylvania last night. Kudlow says, "Are the Democrats, your party, in danger right now? Are they on the edge of relapsing back to a 1967, 1907 style of Big Government spending, welfare entitlement? Is that a danger? Has your party relapsed...

RUSH: Barney Frank: this is hilarious. Audio sound bite number one. The House Financial Services Committee hearing today, and this is a montage. Barney Frank was just irritated as hell because people's pagers kept going off and he kept feeling like he was interrupted, and he sort of loses his composure, and he's telling everybody to shut up and be quiet and somebody's trying to conduct a hearing, and then it's Ron Paul's turn. And Barney effectively shuts him down, keeps throwing fits and chastising...

RUSH: As you know, one of my big bugaboos -- and it's related to the whole Bobby Jindal reaction -- is the fraying and fractious nature of what was once a vibrant conservative media. Many in the so-called conservative media have cashed out. They've checked out. They're trying to be the smartest people in the room. These are the people saying, "Reaganism is dead. The era of Reagan is over," while they watch the Democrats co-opt it! One of these people is David Brooks of the New York Times. David...

RUSH: Ladies and gentlemen, we are going to do the Female Summit today, by the way. We will do the Female Summit in the third hour of the program today, and the reason we're going to do the Female Summit is Public Policy Polling in North Carolina published a national poll on your beloved host, El Rushbo. They found I've got 46% approval, 43% disapproval, but I got a huge gender gap. My gender gap between men and women is 31%. Thirty-one percent is the differential between male approval and female...

RUSH: Now, a couple words here about Bobby Jindal. There's a great disconnect, ladies and gentlemen, between the Beltway pundits in the Drive-By Media -- and I, sadly, have to include the Fox News All Stars in this. We live in a world obviously where style counts for more than anything else, and that's not good. Obama's a great stylist, a great orator, who gave great speech last night. But if you listen to it, it was meaningless. It had all kinds of lies. Those of us who studied Obama know exactly...

RUSH: Let's go to the audio sound bites. This is great. The CBS Early Show today, co-host Maggie Rodriguez interviewing Joe Biden. Nobody's gonna mess with Joe. (laughing) Nobody's gonna mess with Joe. (laughing) "Mr. Vice President, we watched the speech last night with a cross section of Americans, and we asked them if they had any questions for you, and I'd like to share one of them with you from a viewer who had to lay off the most ever staff last year, Hendrickson is his name, and he...

RUSH: Say, folks, how did you like that speech by Jon Favreau last night? Did you see the speech by Jon Favreau, Mr. Snerdley? Jon Favreau wrote the speech that Obama read off of the teleprompter. Now, Favreau, he's not nearly as telegenic. He doesn't have Obama's smile, he doesn't have Obama's cool, but he can sure write a speech. He can write a speech that promises socialism while sounding conservative. Do you realize what a tough challenge that was? Even the guys at The Politico admit...

Story #1: Obama was Wrong on Invention of Automobile RUSH: Now, a quick pop quiz, ladies and gentlemen. Who actually invented the automobile? I'm sorry, the Americans didn't do it. The internal combustion engine in the first automobile was invented by a German by the name of Karl Benz, which led to Mercedes Benz, which then begot Wilhelm Maybach, which has led to the Maybach automobile. Henry Ford invented the assembly line for manufacturing automobiles, and he did invent the Model T, but the...
