You know what a Drive-By shooting is.
CALLER: Sure.
RUSH: You got a bunch of renegades in a car and they drive into a crowd and they start spraying bullets around and they head on down the highway and make a total mess of things. They ruin some people. They kill some people in the case of Drive-By shootings. Then they head on down the highway and they do it again. Meanwhile, other people have to clean up the mess. The Drive-By Media is the same way. They come in with their cameras and their microphones and their news reporting, and they create an absolute mess. They scare the hell out of people. They literally cause carnage. Their actions sometimes are destructive and ruinous to individuals. They kill the reputations of people, or try to. And then they get in the convertible, they head on down the highway and they find the next group of people to do the same thing to while there are those of us who have to go in and clean up the mess.

I am so sick of the media mindgames where they tell me the front runner who has won so many primaries is really out of touch with America! If he is out of touch then why is he winning.

John Stewart did a great spoof on the swine media last night on the Daily Show. After showing some clips as examples, he mentioned that he's secretly working on a cure for "raccoon flu" in his basement lab. He says there's more money in developing cures for diseases before they exist! Brilliant!
The swine media will probably take that seriously, and run with it.

Donut Media is hilarious. I love it when James Pumphrey does his flamboyant Southerner voice. Nolan definitely gets paid the least. It is probably because he is Canadian. That other dude looks like James Franco. His parents wished he went to med school. How much can the black dude bench? Three Zach Jobes for sure. The Legal Beagle is not an attorney. What happened to the boring science guy?
