RUSH: Here is Mort Zuckerman from Tuesday night on the Kudlow Report. Mort Zuckerman is a liberal, and it's beginning to dawn on him that this Obama guy is not really about creating jobs.ZUCKERMAN: I don't think there is anything here that's going on that is deliberately going to help this, because I don't think that's the philosophy of this administration. I think we're heading in for a very, very difficult time. And what distresses me is that I don't get the sense that there's any planning...

RUSH: Yesterday I laid out the truth on the first pitch of Obama at Busch Stadium. Oh, speaking of that, there is a column in the Post-Dispatch today by Bernie Miklasz -- I'm not sure how he pronounces his name -- and this story in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch with 224 comments. The City of St. Louis is apparently livid that Stan Musial was dissed. The people in St. Louis think that Musial's greatness is overlooked and not commented on enough 'cause he's from the middle of the country. You get...

RUSH: This afternoon in Washington, DC -- you've gotta hear this -- during an Environmental Public Works committee hearing on "green" jobs, Senator Barbara Boxer had this exchange with the chairman of the National Black Chamber of Commerce. His name is Harry Alford. This is how it went.BOXER: John Grant, who is the CEO of 100 Black Men of Atlanta, quote: "Clean energy is the key that will unlock millions of jobs and the NAACP's support is vital to ensuring that those jobs help to rebuild urban...

RUSH: Folks, sometimes I get personal questions -- and most of the time I don't deal with them but some days I'm in the mood to. I'm wearing a new shirt today, and it's been also commented on by people watching the program on the Dittocam. "What is that shirt, Rush? I really like it." I got this shirt on the golf trip last week. The logo here says Stock Farm. Let me run through the trip again. We went to five cities and golf courses in five days. On Monday of the previous week, we went to...

RUSH: In talking about the travesty that was the Social Security Administration junket and relaxation tour with dancers and spas and hotel suites and so forth at the Biltmore in Phoenix, I said, "Seven hundred executives spent $700,000 in three days," and I said, "That's a hundred thousand dollars per executive." I said it three or four times. Now earlier today, I spent a number of moments illustrating how a Supreme Court nominee is butchering the English language. Go back and grab sound bites...

RUSH: Ronnie in Orlando, great to have you on the EIB Network. Hello.CALLER: (bad telephone connection) Greetings, Rush, from a transplanted Ohio State Buckeye to Orlando, Florida. God bless you for your love of the country. My comment is on the New York Post article graph that you referred to. It would be good, as you suggested, to go through and put it in all of the newspapers. But, sadly, with a decline in the circulation, you might want to shift priorities and try to get it on Entertainment...

RUSH: Investor's Business Daily, a great editorial today on the Obama health care plan passed by the House of Representatives. How many of you have heard President Obama say, "Hey, if you like your plan, if you like your doctor, you'll get to keep 'em"? "It didn't take long to run into an "uh-oh" moment when reading the House's 'health care for all Americans' bill. Right there on Page 16 is a provision making individual private medical insurance illegal. When we first saw the paragraph Tuesday,...

RUSH: It's Open Line Friday on Thursday today. We're going to start in North Hills, California. Suzanne, great to have you with us. Hello.CALLER: Good morning, Rush. I wanted to start by apologizing. I always thought you were a loud-mouthed blowhard, sadly, until I saw your national address on C-SPAN, and after that moment I was a convert. My mother and my brother have been trying to drag me to the dark side for the longest time, and all I kept thinking was, "What was wrong with this man?"...

RUSH: Jon Kyl. I'm given to understand here from my buddy Andy McCarthy at National Review, via Jennifer Rubin who's writing about this on Commentary at their Contentions blog, that Jon Kyl is just tying Sotomayor up in knots this morning. Did you watch a little bit of it, Snerdley? I didn't. As I said yesterday, the voice, the whole thing, I...

RUSH: Fascinating data here, folks, in the latest Gallup poll that's out today. The headline of the Gallup poll is somewhat misleading. "Romney Edges Palin and Huckabee in Early 2012 GOP Test." The subhead is the real story: "Palin's favorable rating stable after announcing her resignation." So the numbers are this: The candidate most likely to support for the 2012 Republican nomination for president today based on Republicans and Republican-leaning independents: Romney 26, Sarah Palin 21, Huckabee...

RUSH: You know, I've been watching the Sonia Sotomayor hearings and the Republicans, they've blown a couple things, but it's been pretty good. She's been exposed for what she is and we've got sound bites here proving something that I made mention of yesterday that the far left, legal community's very upset that she's lying about who she is, that she doesn't have the guts to be a wise Latina in public, that she doesn't have the guts to be smarter than everybody else, that she doesn't have the guts...
