Well, let me put it this way. The president has said what he wanted to say about it, and I think what he did was very reasonable in trying to diffuse the situation. I did comment that... I would say that to the extent that part of the problem was that people thought that Professor Gates was being...

RUSH: Do you know what cankles are? We've discussed this. Somebody tell me you know what they are. What...? (interruption) Cankles are calf ankles.

RUSH: No! Tell me it isn't true! Tell me I'm not seeing what I'm watching. Oh, no! Oh. Oh, no. (big sigh) Greetings, my friends, and welcome. Yip yip yip -- we're about to witness the snatching of victory from the jaws of defeat. Senator McCain is in Sun City, Arizona, doing a town hall meeting.

People still don't get what this health care is." I firmly believe that all of you do get it, and I think more and more Americans are getting it, as to what is actually going down with Obama health care. But let's substitute food for health care in this analogy. Let's say that people think food is too expensive. And of...
