Story #1: Suicide Watch for Dems: Stock Market Soars
RUSH: The stock market over 14,000 today -- despite the credit crunch stories coming out of UBS and Citibank. We need to put a suicide watch out on the Democrats, ladies and gentlemen. This is not supposed to happen. The stock market's not supposed to be doing this well.
 Story #2: Democrats Use 12-Year-Old for Radio Address
RUSH: Remember that 12-year-old boy that asked President Bush at a press conference not long ago, "I don't have any health insurance. Why don't I have any health insurance?" The Democrats had that 12-year-old boy do their Saturday radio address, and this is a pure stunt. We know a little bit about who this little boy is and his family, and they are not poor. Huh? Well, yes, I did hear it, Mr. Snerdley. It's nothing more than a typical Democrat stunt.
Story #3: Tax Hike in Michigan Is Liberalism in Action
RUSH: Hey, folks, also, if you want to see what the country would be like with today's liberals in charge, not the JFK liberals and Democrats, but today's liberals, take a look at Michigan. They had a government shutdown or close to it for a few hours over budget problems, and the governor up there came up with the last-minute solution to solve the problem. The last thing the state of Michigan needs is a tax increase, and they got one, a sizeable, healthy tax increase to, on paper, shut the budget deficit or close it. It's just going to continue to stifle economic activity throughout the state of Michigan. I feel for you people, I really do.
But you know something? You people in Michigan, you are great patriots, you are doing something very valuable and you need to take pride in your own suffering and pain, because what you are doing is demonstrating to the rest of the country, the other 49 states, what will happen to this country if people like Jennifer Granholm and the Democrats and your legislature up there get control of the United States government and the Department of Treasury. So while I know it's tough and I know you're irritated, I know you've got to be spitting, fuming, mad up there, understand that you are providing a visible laboratory; you are doing a great service. Please don't leave the state just yet, especially going into the election next year. Your suffering, your poverty will be a dynamic example for people like me to illustrate for the rest of the country just what will happen if today's modern liberals end up in total control of the US government.
Story #4: Reprehensible Duke Apology on a Saturday
RUSH: How about the president at Duke University? Is this not rich? Richard Brodhead apologized Saturday, when nobody was paying attention, "for not better supporting the men's lacrosse players falsely accused in last year's highly publicized rape scandal." Wrong. The AP wrote this. There was no rape. There was a highly publicized fraud scandal. I tell you who still hasn't apologized is the Drive-By Media, for whom the narrative fit. The facts just didn't work out. "Brodhead, speaking at the university's law school, said he regretted Duke's 'failure to reach out' in a 'time of extraordinary peril' after a woman accused three players of raping her at a team party in March 2006. 'Given the complexities of this case, getting the communication right would never have been easy,' Brodhead said. 'But the fact is that we did not get it right, causing the families to feel abandoned when they were most in need of support. This was a mistake. I take responsibility for it, and I apologize for it.'" Fine, it's all fixed now. This comes out at a time they are negotiating a settlement with these families.
This is about dollar signs. This was reprehensible. It wasn't, Mr. Brodhead, that you didn't better support them. You didn't support them at all. These were your customers. These were your students. The parents of these students or scholarships, or something found a way to get these people, these young men, into the university, and they were your students, and you didn't defend them. You bought the words hook, line, and sinker of somebody not from your university, because your mind and heart told you, "Hey, this is what happens with poor black women and rich white jocks." Still unheard from, the 88 members of the Duke faculty who also embarrassed themselves and discredited themselves, like so much of the left is doing today.
Story #5: Hsu Associate, Winkle Paw, Goes Missing
RUSH: Bad news, ladies and gentlemen, Winkle Paw has gone missing. Nobody knows where Winkle Paw is. You don't know who Winkle Paw is? Does the name Norman Hsu ring a bell, the Paw family, lots of pets, no money? "Winkle Paw seems to have vanished. Winkle Paw, as you may recall, is a close business associate of Norman Hsu and fellow big-bucks contributor to Democrats." I think this is Pa Paw, I think you're actually right, Mr. Snerdley. "Winkle Paw has served as everything from project analyst to CEO at a handful of Hsu's companies..." Well, no, couldn't be, because Pa Paw was a mailman. So this has got to be -- well, I don't know. "Paw has served as everything from project analyst to CEO at a handful of Hsu's companies, including Components, Ltd., Next Components, Next Electronics, and CoolPowers.
"We also don't know for sure that Winkle has deliberately vanished. It could simply be that the authorities aren't looking for him (he's not listed as wanted in California). But, if they're not hunting for him, maybe they ought to be. The Orange County investors haven't been able to reach him since the morning Hsu lit out for Denver. That was three weeks ago. If -- let's say -- Paw was on that train, too, keeping his cool a bit better than his pill-popping partner, and if he had access to even a small fraction of the millions in liquid assets at Hsu's disposal, Winkle just may have winked out of this story for good." This is Clarice Feldman at American Thinker. Of course, the coming mantra from the Drive-Bys, "Well, there was no evidence found of any wrongdoing here involving Winkle Paw." Oh, right, no. But anyway, Winkle Paw of the Paw family has gone missing.
