RUSH: Last Wednesday, CNN, The Situation Room, Suzanne Malveaux was talking to James Carville. ClimateGate. "Obviously it's a political issue. This is up to Congress. What can President Obama do on this issue?"CARVILLE: Well, uh-uh-uh-unfortunately I hope I'm wrong, but not very much. And I hope that talk radio and the "Pollution Lobby" are right that global warming is not a problem and 940 peer-reviewed, scientific articles are wrong. That's about all we can hope for, because right now I...

RUSH: Now, you will remember, I was in Los Angeles this past summer. I forget when it was. But I did many, many things on that trip out there. I was there for four days, I did The Family Guy, and I also taped a two-hour interview, or what turned out to be two hours with William Shatner for a show he has on the Biography Channel called Shatner's Raw Nerve. It is going to be the premiere episode, the debut episode of the season, a personal conversation with me, and I think the show is a half hour....

RUSH: Howard Dean, April the 5th, 2009, this just surfaced. He was in Paris and said this.DEAN: Capitalism is always going to be with us because capitalism represents part of human nature. But the other part of human nature is communitarianism. The debate for the new generation is instead of capitalism or socialism, is we're going to have both and then which proportion of each should we have in order to make this all work.RUSH: So he's essentially saying here that the argument between capitalism...

RUSH: PBS Charlie Rose Show: Some interesting sound bites from last night. First up he interviewed John Podesta, the former Clinton chief of staff who now runs some liberal, far-left radical think tank. And Charlie Rose said, "Some say the president cannot afford to lose on this one: Health care reform."PODESTA: Politically, the stakes are enormous for the president. I think if he does lose -- uh, you know, if -- if the Senate cannot complete action -- I think there will be tremendous disappointment,...

RUSH: Okay, I'm looking for ways here to illustrate and dramatize the Porkulus, just how much money $800 billion really is. And, of course, we're told we've got a couple hundred billion in TARP money that hasn't been spent, so we've got basically a $1 Trillion slush fund for the executive branch, for Obama to use. Now, even the liberals in Congress and even some in the State-Controlled Media were shocked when they learned that Mary Landrieu was bribed with $300 million for her "yes" vote on Obamacare....

I've been conservative my whole life. I have a 21-year-old lance corporal son in the Marine Corps. I am very, very distressed about our commander-in-chief.

RUSH: Now the Politico today: "Ever since Watergate hero Bob Woodward revealed a 66-page secret Pentagon report Sept. 22 in The Washington Post that revealed US Gen. Stanley McChrystal was seeking an additional 40,000 American troops for Afghanistan, the White House has deftly controlled the message, shaped the narrative, crafted the president’s wartime image and kept the news media eating out of its hand as it made its way toward a final decision. On the surface, it might appear that publication...

RUSH: Fouad Ajami in the Wall Street Journal today: "A foreign policy of penance has won America no friends." Our poll numbers are all the same. Barack Obama hasn't done jack to change anyone's opinion of America, except they think we are weaker. The Iranians are discarding any pretense now at letting inspectors in, any pretense of participating in a nonproliferation treaty because they're not frightened. The thing that Obama doesn't understand is they hate us regardless who the president is....

RUSH: Folks, let me give you the benefit of my logical thinking and wisdom here on a couple things that seem to have people all tied up in knots, and there's no reason to be tied up in knots about any of these things. First Tiger Woods. This is not hard to understand. On Wednesday, the National Enquirer publishes a story saying he's having an affair with a woman named Uchitel, who is apparently well known for flagging down sports celebrities and having relationships with them. On Friday with...

RUSH: Okay, so we got the big speech tonight up at West Point. You know, normally these speeches take 15 minutes in the Oval Office and there's no applause because there's nobody there to applaud. We got probably 30 minutes tonight, maybe longer, in front of a bunch of cadets at the US Military Academy. I don't know if they're going to be given applause signs or whatever, but I don't know, folks. Rush Limbaugh, let's get that out of the way, although you know it. Telephone number, 800-282-2882,...
