RUSH: A little sound bite here of Barney Frank shutting down a Republican. Spencer Bachus, Republican from Alabama, was having a conversation with Geithner, and Bachus was about to nail Geithner on the use of the AIG bailout as a laundry for Goldman Sachs, et cetera, when Barney Frank slobbers and interrupts him. This is how it sounded.BACHUS: Was there any discussion over a haircut or 95%, taking 95% or 90% as full payment?GEITHNER: We explored at that time every possible means to reduce the...

RUSH: I mentioned this story right before the break. It's a Reuters story: "'Resistance Grows to Obama's Bigger Government' -- A public furor over big bonuses paid by firms bailed out with US taxpayer money is fueling resistance to President Barack Obama's ambitious plans to extend government intervention in the US private sector." I want to read that to you again, and I want to ask you if this makes any sense to you, because I saw the headline, "Resistance Grows to Obama's Bigger Government,"...

RUSH: Let me read a little to you here from this story on March 21st, three days ago, from the Connecticut Post. "Hollywood has its bus tours of celebrity homes. New York City has its bus tours of mob hits. So why not pack a bus with community activists, invite a representative from every media organization in the free world and see the Fairfield County mansions of the 'filthy rich and most recently infamous' -- American International Group executives. After all, these are the people who packed...

RUSH: You know, our friend Mark Levin, I was with him during the whole 18-month process of him writing his book Liberty and Tyranny. Liberty and Tyranny was released yesterday. He's going to be on the program in this hour tomorrow. Liberty and Tyranny is a conservative manifesto and it is brilliantly written, because while it is constitutional, it is easily understandable, it is a page-turner as a novel is, and you don't find books like this that can make that claim. It is now number one at...

RUSH: Larry Kudlow came over Friday. Larry Kudlow was in town to give a couple speeches and take a little time off, and he came over to the house Friday night after dinner with some friends of mine who were hosting him, and it was a good time. As they were leaving, my friend, my good friend came up to me and said, "It's the funniest thing, I ran into somebody today who just thinks you're pompous and arrogant as you can be." I said, "What did you tell 'em?" "Well, I just smiled and I said, 'He...

RUSH: The Drive-By Media, by the way, ladies and gentlemen, still in the business of covering up for Barack Obama. Last night on CNN, The Situation Room, remember when Obama had the Irish prime minister to the White House on St. Patrick's Day, a big party up there. The Irish prime minister went up to make a speech, and the wrong speech was in the prompter, the Irish prime minister goes and makes his speech, then Obama gets up to thank the Irish prime minister, and the same speech is still in...

RUSH: Let me try to explain the Geithner thing -- and it's very difficult to do. I am a layman when it comes to all this. But I'm going to try to set it up here in a general overview. After six months of benign neglect, false starts, and costly bad judgments, the Obama-Geithner-Summers-Pelosi administration has finally done what was obvious to all. Let the market establish market prices for these so-called toxic assets, and everybody's supposed to go, "Yip yip yip yip yahoo." Now, why did they...

RUSH: Looks like I was right, ladies and gentlemen. It looks like it's a little soon to say definitively, but it looks like some high-powered opinion leaders on the left are starting to come around now. Something's just not quite right with this Obama guy, and what he's trying to do here. Great to be back, great to be with you, Rush Limbaugh, behind the Golden EIB Microphone here at the distinguished and prestigious Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies. As I told you all along,...

Story #1: US Government to Buy Chicom CondomsRUSH: Did you people see this yesterday? I'm sure you did. The US government is going to buy Chinese condoms, and that will end jobs in Alabama. "In a move expected to cost 300 American jobs, the government is switching to cheaper, offshore condoms, including some made in China." Do you think these Chinese condoms will have lead in them? That could be interesting. So we're going to trust birth control, we're going to trust AIDS to the ChiComs? They...
