Okay.CALLER: I was just calling about this issue with the execs at AIG, and I think this is another one of the numerous plays that the Obama administration is making, because it really is absolutely pointless.

RUSH: You remember the call last week from the woman in Texas who was distraught over the treatment of the US military by President Obama and was just begging me to continue to stand up for the men and women of the armed forces in this country? And, of course, I said I would. It's in my blood to do so. This next story is an absolute shocker. Actually, it's a two-parter and it's all over the place. It's McClatchy, it's AP, the veterans groups have even put out a press release. "The Obama administration...

RUSH: I keep trying to move on now from the bonus business, but, for crying out loud, folks, I can't! I want to ask all of you in this audience and those of you who are new to this program a question: Way back last fall when all this bailout stuff started, I warned you. "This isn't gonna work. This is not the way to do it. This is the government asserting control." We see now what a total mess all of this has become! Guess where we are now? We've got the administration, led by President...

RUSH: Barney Frank -- Elmer Fudd, Sylvester the Cat -- hard to tell the difference in the three, back in the news, ladies and gentlemen, all upset over the bonuses at AIG. To set this up, I want to go back to a Barney Frank greatest hit from January 11th, 2007, on the House floor. This is right after the Democrats had retaken the house for the first time since 1994. This is after the 2006 elections. Barney Frank is acting as Speaker. The Speaker never goes to the Speaker's chair. She always...

RUSH: Don't you just love the new tone, the new civility that has been brought to Washington via Obama's teleprompter and the new administration, folks? Yes, AIG employees are now getting death threats from outraged Americans over these retention bonuses. I have to warn you people, we're going to spend some more time on these bonuses today 'cause there's some things that you don't know about all this that you need to know. Sit tight, Rush Limbaugh, the Excellence in Broadcasting Network. Three...

We have death threats being phoned in to the AIG headquarters in New York! And all this time we've been told that it's talk radio that 'incites this kind of hatred'.""Chris Dodd's own amendment...

Story #1: Bestiality, Animal Husbands, and BullardRUSH: A story I had in the Stack of Stuff when I was out last week during the charity golf outing, from a blog at TampaBay.com, some newspaper over there. The headline: "Bestiality, Animal Husbands and Bullard." Yes, I'll give you the details here just a second, but I think I have to probably define bestiality. People in Rio Linda know what it is, and probably some in Port St. Lucie know what it is, but outside of those two areas, some people may...
