GRETCHEN CARLSON: (in studio) This is what Rush had to say about where he thinks health care will be one year from now. (roll taped interview)RUSH: I hope nowhere. I don't trust all this news that they're going to shelve it. I hear Axelrod and Pelosi talk about having to parachute in behind enemy lines to get it done.

RUSH: Here's Noah, Shreveport, Louisiana. You're next on the program, sir. Hello.CALLER: Major dittos, Rush. It's a great pleasure to talk to you. I wanted to talk to you a little bit about Rahm Emanuel's sad excuse of an apology and the people that accepted that. From a father who has a special needs kid, I just can't imagine that they're not calling for his resignation. Can you imagine if a Republican made this comment?RUSH: I'm told that they did ultimately accept the apology. At first...

RUSH: This is A.J. in Houston. A.J., I'm glad you waited. Great to have you here.CALLER: Rush Limbaugh, mega big-time dittos! And happy belated birthday. I remember the last time I talked to you on that birthday, I think it was '07, when I believe Obama was running, and couple things, Rush. Educate us.

RUSH: Ladies and gentlemen, let's go to the sound bites for the prayer breakfast this morning. We have three and he makes this whole thing about him. The prayer breakfast was all about him and his little political problems.OBAMA: There is a sense that something is different now, that something's broken, that those of us in Washington are not serving the people as well as we should. At times it seems like we're unable to listen to one another, to have at once a serious and civil debate. And...

You sound like Peter Orszag.CALLER: (laughing) Is that a compliment?RUSH: Uh, no comment.CALLER: Okay. All right. I'm a member of the NYU College Republicans up here, and on Monday there was panel of lefties -- what else is up here? -- and it was for the author of The Death of Conservatism, that new book...

RUSH: It was yesterday morning, this Obama quote for the ages. Senator Blanche Lincoln (Democrat-Arkansas) says, "Are we willing as Democrats to also push back on our own party and look for that common ground that we need to work with Republicans and to get the answers and it's really the results that are going to count to our constituents?" Does anybody know what that question means? She's asking this of Obama. Her question is irrelevant. Here, listen to this. This is her answer.OBAMA: Part...

Um, whose seat is this? "Little-known Scott Brown --" they refer to him as in this story "--taking over the late Senator Kennedy's seat."...

RUSH: Rahm Emanuel's apology apparently has been accepted. The early news was that it was not accepted, right? But The Politico has a story from Ben Smith and an update: "Emanuel met yesterday with six disability advocates. He sincerely apologized again for using the R-word, promising to sign an online pledge to end the use of the word." Now, get this. "Emanuel also promised to examine congressional legislation that would remove the word from federal law." Now, what kind of F-ing nonsense...

RUSH: Man. We're about to go down through the 10,000 level on the Dow Jones Industrial Average. We are down almost 200 points today, and we have been trickling down ever since what, Snerdley? Ever since Obama attacked the banks and promised to tax them for repaying with interest. (imitating Obama) "We want our money back, we want to get our money back." Now these guys are going after Toyota, thug politics. The government is going after Toyota and they're even accusing the Prius, the Prius --...
