Rush 24/7 Morning Update: Delicious Irony
RUSH: Ben & Jerry’s built their brand on ice cream and activism. Even though they’re a corporation, they’re the darlings of the left. Or, at least they used to be.

RUSH: The media's been waiting like a bunch of dogs for dog treats. They've been sitting there next to the water bowl, their tongues are hanging out just waiting for Trump to throw them a bone. They've been hoping there are tapes. You know why? If there are tapes, it's Nixon! If there are tapes, it's Watergate!
RUSH: There is no relationship between the patient's ability to pay and what it costs. And it's because interference began in the 1960s with the politicization of health care, which really intensified in the 1980s, with the Democrats essentially proposing that health care was a right, much like having a lawyer was a right if you couldn't afford it.
RUSH: I'm thinking that Mueller and Comey got what they wanted. They're hiring all these Democratic lawyers and Clinton Foundation lawyers and everything to protect Obama and Hillary, not to worry about Trump. They're not worried about finding out anything about Trump.
RUSH: The Democrats are convinced they're gonna take the House back in 2018. You know what this reminds me of? This reminds me of the Pittsburgh Steelers and New England Patriots way back the first year Tom Brady played, when Drew Bledsoe got hurt. There's a great analogy here.
RUSH: There isn't anybody in American politics who can do what Donald Trump does, and I mean maybe in all of American politics. And that's because Trump is not a politician.
RUSH: It's a perfect crime. You can't get charged with leaking intelligence if it's not intelligence. You can do all the damage with none of the risk.
RUSH: Seven months after her failed bid for dictator, she remains as unpopular now as she was before she ran for dictator. Typically, losing candidates’ favorable ratings improve because political independents and supporters of the opposing political party grow to view the candidate more positively after the election because their attitudes about them soften.
RUSH: Folks, let me tell you what's going on with this Obamacare repeal and replace stuff. This is before we get a final result. It may be something that we're not crazy about, we don't know.
RUSH: After the special election in Georgia, the Democrats think that losing is winning. They're out there saying this as often as they can. … But there were two or three prominent Never Trumpers out there who actually wrote pieces that winning was the equivalent of losing!
RUSH: I remember at the time that one of my rejoinders to this was that, in the pursuit of fairness and equality, the left is not gonna be happy until somebody invents a male womb. Well, as always, we start cracking jokes about these people, and here it's taken 20 years to manifest, but here it is.
RUSH: The Democrats are starting to turn on each other. Just a trickle. A couple of Democrats are openly beginning to suggest that this focus on whatever did not happen between Trump and Russia is sidetracking the Democrat Party from its great, great mission of sustainability, equality, and transparency. And there's especially a big duke-out coming between Debbie "Blabbermouth" Schultz and Jeh Johnson.
RUSH: No longer is this just gonna be a long list of stories that I might mention on the program. Now, you will get specifically the stories that I talk about on the program and a select list of a few others that I intended to get to but ran out of time. It's going to be more of a real-time base feature rather than just a generic list of places that I go to prep the show.
