The reason I called was to talk about education, not health care, because I'm a public educator. And today was the only day I had to call. Yesterday I was at a curriculum-planning meeting, and they were talking about changing the curriculum so much for kids starting...

RUSH: Can we JIP this? I don't even know he was there. It's Tom "Dung Heap" Harkin speaking. I just want to hear a little bit of this. It's gotta be good. We're going to JIP it.HARKIN: "I'm writing to voice my concern regarding my family's rapidly escalating health care costs. On Saturday..."RUSH: Here we go. Stop the tape. Here it is. It's sob story after sob story after sob story. Remember Louise Slaughter with the sob story today and the dentures that some woman in her district has to...

RUSH: Here's Louise Slaughter with the sob story of the day. She's a congresswoman from Nueva Orc.SLAUGHTER: Think about what's absolutely important here. Not nitpick but think about all of the people out there every single day, the number of people with excess deaths because they have no health insurance. I even had one constituent -- you will not believe this and you know you won't but it's true -- her sister died. This poor woman had no dentures! She wore her dead sister's teeth, which...

RUSH: Ladies and gentlemen, I am required to do this so rarely that whenever I do do it, I always call great attention to it, precisely because it is such a rare occurrence. But I must say that I was wrong, and this is going to detract from my opinion audit. At present I am documented to be almost always right 99.5% of the time. But I rendered an opinion on this health care summit -- that is the Republicans should not go -- and I was wrong. I want to announce this, not only to the Republicans....

RUSH: Go back and play audio sound bite 19. This is the sound bite of the week. This is John Avlon, who's a columnist at The Daily Beast out there with Jessica Yellin who was sitting in last night for Anderson Cooper on his show, and they're having a discussion about politics in Washington, and what the hell has gone so wrong. YELLIN: We've isolated some of the key culprits who some say have done more to bring the business of the nation to a standstill than any others. Rush Limbaugh.AVLON:...

RUSH: Now, here's another reason, ladies and gentlemen, why this is especially helpful today for our cause. And our cause, basically, is the failure of Barack Obama. Which reminds me, I need to find something very quickly here in the audio sound bites. Yeah, grab number 19. Okay. Here we go. The Limbaugh AP Tweak of the Day. Headline: "Initial Jobless Claims Rise Unexpectedly." Now, just yesterday we had news that there was an increase in mass layoffs, which is 50 or more, and that was not...

RUSH: You know, folks, this is actually better than I thought it was going to be. The reason it's better than I thought it was going to be is because it is illustrating what a bunch of mean, arrogant, petulant, just lousy people the Democrats are at this summit. Republicans are up there knocking this out of the park.
