Mark Halperin has the audio from Rush, as well as the transcript for a Mitt Romney ad that ran during the show. If you can listen to Rush’s bit on McCain stabbing the party in the back, here’s the transcript:

John McCain has stabbed his own party in the back, I can’t tell you how many times. He stabbed his own President in the bac on legislation a number of times. He doesn’t support his party or his President when the chips are down, uh, he called people that want to protect the border racists, nativists, uh, protectionists, uh, and worse. And what kind of character is it that tries to slide all that through under cover of darkness, in a back room, who, I think it was McCain who said “We gotta get the politics outta this issue to get it passed. Well, what does that mean? It means we can’t let the American people know what’s going on in this amnesty bill, we can’t have the usual debates, we can’t have any committee hearings.

(Imitating McCain’s Voice)

This is too important. We’ve got to get it through. Before they know what’s happening!

(Back to his own voice)

A lot of character in that, isn’t there?

It’s a rough rush transcript. If you find an error, please let me know in the comment section.

Update: Rush is going after Huckabee now, talking about Huckabee’s apparent allusion to Bane Capitol, Clear Channel, and Sean Hannity. Rush points out that Bane’s purchase has now yet been approved, and Sean Hannity is not a contractual partner of Clear Channel anyway.
