RUSH: I saw something a couple days ago in the Sacramento Bee that's just amazing. If I showed you the map on the Dittocam, it wouldn't do any good. You're going to have to go to our website, we'll link to this story. It's Tony Pugh, McClatchy Newspapers, in the Sacramento Bee: "It'll Be Years Before Jobs Return to Much of US." There is a map of the United States, and it says the year this area will return to pre-recession employment peak, and then color-coded regions of the country. I am certain...

RUSH: Let's see. I talked about this yesterday, the four Uighur terrorists that were in Guantanamo Bay, Chinese version of Al-Qaeda, we released 'em to Bermuda, which, this time of year, is a tropical vacation island and they're swimming around in the ocean. There are pictures of them out there just having a grand old time. They're going to be put on work-related jobs, projects. And those Uighurs are out saying, oh, man, the human rights at Guantanamo are much better than in China. And of course...

RUSH: Palm Coast, Florida. Emmett, you're next on the EIB Network. Hello.CALLER: How you doing, Rush?RUSH: Never better, sir. Thank you.CALLER: Yeah. I recently wrote you the letter called Middle American, and one of the things I didn't get quite to get to on that was, everyone's so concerned about this bailout and all -- and these companies made bad decisions and poor decisions that we bailed 'em out on. What would have happened if we just let it go? I mean, there's a doomsday theory that...

RUSH: Yesterday I posted on the website three pictures of our new little puppy, an old English sheepdog by the name of Abbey, 12 weeks old. They were cute little pictures, cute little dog. Everybody who has dogs understands. This is an exuberant little puppy, curious about everything, already loyal, already devoted. But I got a lot of questions from people: "What about Punkin? Have you just thrown Punkin away? Have you thrown Punkin overboard? What about Punkin?" No. Punkin is fine and...

RUSH: President Obama just finished a brief joint appearance and miniature press conference with the Republic of Korea, South Korean, leader Lee Myung-bak. And during the press conference Obama had this to say about Iran.OBAMA: You've seen in Iran some initial reaction from the supreme leader that, uh, indicates, uh, he understands the Iranian people have deep concerns about the election. Uh, it's not productive given the history of US-Iranian relations to be seen as meddling --RUSH: Whoa! OBAMA:...

RUSH: Our Morning Update today dealt with an Obama promise that he has broken to the gay community of the United States. And today the New York Times has editorialized on this -- as usual, a day after we are on the cutting edge of the story. Here are the details: A filing by the Obama Justice Department last week surprised hardcore supporters. Now, as a candidate Obama had promised the gay community that he would work to overturn the Defense of Marriage Act. His lawyers urged dismissal of the...

RUSH: Over on another State-Run Media network, the David Letterman show last night, Letterman apologized to Sarah Palin. It was a real apology, but it was also couched in this continuing excuse that he thought he was talking about an 18-year-old, not a 14-year-old. The bottom line here is the joke's inappropriate whether the age of the woman is 14, 18, or 40. But he goes on, we've got tape of the apology and I think everybody is missing what happened here. I gave the Drive-Bys, I gave State-Run...

Story #1:Hope and Change: Industrial Production TumblesRUSH: Well, we hit the brink, right? We've turned the corner on the economy, or whatever Obama said out there in California. But I got more bad news for you out here after all of this bailout stuff and after all of the stimulus, "Industrial production tumbled a larger-than-expected 1.1 percent in May as the recession crimped demand for a wide range of manufactured goods including cars, machinery and household appliances." Duh! How is that...
