If hot air could power the world, Yoko, Sir Paul, Lady Gaga, and the gang would be the biggest energy producers on the planet. Instead, they’re proving to be the biggest know-nothings!

RUSH: There was great leadership on display last night, a great illustration of the depth of the conservative bench. Man, it was a Reaganesque night last night, folks. It's really an upper. It was fabulous. 

RUSH: Folks, I can't tell you how much fun this is to call these winners because we luck out; they're all great people.

RUSH: Where is Kanye West? Where's Sean Penn? You let this happen in Haiti, and they can't get there fast enough. Where are all the FEMA trailers? Where are all the Hollywood actors and actresses?

RUSH: Believe it or not, there are some Hollywood people wondering, "I don't know how Eastwood's gonna go over. You know, Republicans don't like Hollywood people." I'm thinking, "What?" (laughing) They really think...? If they're that idiotic or that far out of it...

RUSH: If I didn't know better, I would say that Chris Matthews is having a nervous breakdown -- and I don't know better, actually. Seriously. He could very well be having a nervous breakdown.

RUSH: She was an unknown before last night, and now she becomes a highly respected member of a Republican bench that's stocked well for the future.

RUSH: How in the world does anybody ever get away with characterizing these people as racists, sexists, bigots, homophobes, thieves and thugs?

RUSH: This is a story written for the media so the media doesn't start jumping out of windows.

RUSH:  Nikki Haley was one of the stars of Tuesday night.  She went early, before the primetime cameras were turned on.  But she had some amazingly great things to say.
