Story #1: McCain's Mission: Remake GOP in His Image
 RUSH: And there are other things happening. For example, from The Politico today: "Fresh from a humbling loss in last year's presidential election, John McCain is working behind the scenes to reshape the Republican Party in his own center-right image." No! No! But it's true. McCain is trying to remake the Republican Party. He's already done that, which is why the Republican Party is losing big time! This is horrible, folks. If people get wind of this -- and of course you have because I just told you -- it's going to accelerate the third party movement. People are going to want no part of the Republican Party. Why would the loser...? I mean, this is like John Kerry remaking the Democrat Party, or Michael Dukakis.
Story #2: Short Response to Steve Schmidt
RUSH: Does the name Steve Schmidt ring a bell to anybody out there? Steve Schmidt was the campaign manager for John McCrazy -- McCain! -- in the presidential campaign in 2008. Steve Schmidt has told the Huffington Post that Sarah Palin in 2012 would be a "catastrophe for the GOP." This is one of the things that I was asked to comment on by a member of the State-Controlled Media today, and here's what I wrote back: "I think it's time for the McCain crowd to acknowledge that they're losers and pack it in. They've done enough damage to the Republican Party already. Move aside. Let a brighter, more principled, and more competent generation of people clean up the mess that the McCain people helped create," and that is exactly where we are right now. And now McCain, it is reported today, is trying to work behind the scenes to find candidates like himself to remake the Republican Party in a moderate, center sort of way. I guess Schmidt talking to the Huffing and Puffington Post is part of that mix, saying that Palin in 2012 would be a catastrophe for the GOP. Why would anybody listen to McCain? It would be like the Democrats taking advice from Dukakis. What in the world...? This is just more and more of the left trying to pick our candidates like they picked McCain, and it's time to stop that garbage. So there! That's my answer to it.
Story #3: Record Low Cold in Daytona Beach, Florida
RUSH: Hey, Axelrod, hey, Rahm, hey, you people in the White House, you better get moving fast on cap and tax. Listen to this: "Michigan, record low temperatures breaks 1935 cold." "Record low tide at Daytona Beach, Florida." "Cold snap fills up homeless shelters in Idaho." And we're worried whether Obama is going to go to the global warming conference back in Copenhagen. It all depends on whether there is a Denmark left.
Story #4: Will Bam Return to Denmark for Climate Conference?
RUSH: Now, the New York Times also has a blog. This is the Dot Earth blog, the environmentalist wacko blog of the New York Times. This was posted within minutes of the Olympic announcement cutting Chicago out of the picture, by Andrew Revkin: "President Obama’s fruitless effort in Copenhagen to promote Chicago for the Olympics has provoked discussion over whether he will return for the global climate treaty talks there in December. Greenpeace campaigners hung a banner from a church near the Olympics meeting reading, 'Obama, Right City, Wrong Date.' There are political risks whether Mr. Obama decides to go or stay home. He almost certainly will not go if strategists foresee little chance of last-minute compromises replacing the hardened positions" -- should have thought of that before heading off to this meeting! So now they're already speculating in the Drive-By Media, "Will he go back to Copenhagen?" It was such a humiliating defeat.
Story #5: Democrat Senator Will Not Read Health Care Bill
RUSH: Senator Thomas Carper, Democrat, Delaware, member of the Senate Finance Committee, told the Cybercast News Service that he does not expect to read the actual legislative language of the Senate Finance Committee's health care bill 'cause it's confusing and anybody who claims that they're going to read it and understand it is fooling people. "I don't expect to actually read the legislative language 'cause reading the legislative language is among the more confusing things I've ever done in my life," he said. A Democrat member of the committee says that he won't read the text of the bill, says anybody who claims they'll understand it is trying to pull the wool over our eyes.
