Newt's Iowa Bounce Over Before One Vote Cast?... Did Putin Lock Up His Wife?... Teacher Arrested for Pelting McDonald's Worker with Food at Drive-Thru...How 'Bout That Democracy in Egypt?... Newt Teams Up with Climate Babe Hayhoe for New Book....What a Joke: AP Stories of the Year...The Super-Expensive Obama Hawaii Vacation...

RUSH: Rick Perry, Michele Bachmann are "dumb" and "stupid," but Kim Jong-il was "mercurial," "enigmatic." That's how the AP described it.

RUSH: Joe Flacco was sacked five times. He threw a couple of picks and I just wanted to give him equal time here with Tebow so he wouldn't complain about being eclipsed.

RUSH: If the Republican Party weren't so afraid of conservatism and having a conservative nominee, Ron Paul wouldn't be anywhere near winning the Hawkeye Cauci.

RUSH: I have to tell you, Jeb Bush sounds like me.

RUSH: Apparently, there was a deal here between Obama and Senate Republicans, and Boehner has thwarted it. 

RUSH: Jeb Bush's piece in the Wall Street Journal today is very Reaganesque, it's very Limbaughesque, but it's not commensurate with what he said back in May of 2009.

CALLER: I just wanted to call and say thank you.  I used to be an angry, hateful, raging liberal just like the rest of them

RUSH: This whole thing is bogus. It can't be implemented as is. It's a train wreck.

RUSH:  "The Uninformed Are the Key Ingredient for a Working Democracy, Study Finds"

CALLER: Leukemia & Lymphoma Society sent check for $5,000 to hospital; covered 85%.

RUSH:  Everything's about his reelection, pure and simple.
