Do Your Show Prep: Everything Rush reads to prepare for the show.

Some of the topics we're loaded with today: Now Newt for Amnesty? || Obama Pardons Turkey || Russian-Obama Tensions Escalate

RUSH: Gloria Borger and these CNN people in the post-game said, "Newt actually cares about people," as though it shocked them! That ticked me off. It's like when Algore praised Kemp for not being a racist pig like all the other Republicans in 1996, and Kemp said, "Thank you, Mr. Vice President," thereby acknowledging that they're a bunch of racist pigs!

RUSH: To put this in perspective, Hillary wasn't even on the show, and they had the song, "Lyin' Assed B-i-itch!" ... Imagine that here comes Michelle out on stage, and they play "I Like Big Butts" by Sir Mix-A-Lot.

RUSH: Do you realize what we could do with our economy if we just opened up drilling everywhere there's oil in this country?  We wouldn't need to worry about what the Iranians are doing with theirs or what OPEC is doing.

CADDELL: I've never really seen a president who has been so unengaged -- and, you know, yesterday I had a piece with Doug Schoen urging him to step aside for Hillary Clinton for the very reason that somebody needs to do something and worry about reelection and the division between these two parties.

RUSH: Any discussion last night that involved spending money, my mouth fell open. I said, "We don't have any money to be giving people!  We spend, what, close to $1.8 trillion more than we take in every year.  We just had to raise the debt ceiling twice this year.  We're up to $17 trillion in debt, for real, on paper."

CALLER:  About eight and a half years ago my sister Erin got me involved in a game called EverQuest. ... I was getting really into politics at the time the Democrats took over Congress, and I got so mad that I created a character named RushIsRight.

RUSH: One of the great myths of Thanksgiving is that we swindled the Indians when we bought Manhattan Island from them for twenty-four bucks. It turns out, according to a book about Teddy Roosevelt, that that's not true. It turns out that the Indians are the ones that ran the real estate scam when they sold Manhattan.

RUSH: The myth of Thanksgiving is basically that a bunch of thieves from Europe arrived quite by accident at Plymouth Rock, and if it weren't for the Indians showing them how to grow corn and slaughter turkeys and how to swallow and stuff, they would have starved.

RUSH: We are getting tremendous feedback from those of you who have accessed the new gift set -- the two mugs and jelly beans -- that we have at TwoIfByTea.com.

Black Friday Barely as Obamaville Retailers Struggle ... CBO Confirms: The Stimulus Was a Slush Fund ... Rain Shuts Down LaGuardia ... MoveOn.org Puts Out Tips to Correct Rush's "Lies" at Thanksgiving Dinner ... Harrisburg Cannot Seek Bankruptcy, Judge Says ...

RUSH: This is my great fear, folks.  He doesn't dare tell anybody what his second term intends.

RUSH:  Why does that bother you?  I mean, they started serving school breakfast when I was in junior high.
