RUSH: Why are you frowning? What are you frowning about? Well, because I\u2019m reading some stuff here. Show prep never stops. By the way, I need to know something. Starting with the Spring Fling, yeah, when my buddies were here. I had ten guests for the weekend starting Wednesday night last week and they all arrived and said, “Are you okay?” <\/p>\n

And I said, “Yeah, yeah, never better.”<\/p>\n

“Are you sure? You\u2019re okay?” <\/p>\n

I got a note from Joe Scarborough this morning, “Are you okay?” <\/p>\n

I\u2019m getting e-mails, too, “Are you okay?” <\/p>\n

What\u2019s going on out there that I don\u2019t know about? I haven\u2019t had the TV on in a couple days. Is there some new assault on me that I don\u2019t know about? There isn\u2019t? Why is everybody asking me if I\u2019m okay? “Are you okay?” It\u2019s like they think I\u2019m about to wilt, crumble, and like the wicked witch, melt away. What is it? (interruption) Because Romney won? People are asking if I\u2019m okay because Romney won? Well, you know, that\u2019s a whole ‘nother thing. I guess I should get into that<\/a> at some point. I gotta be very careful about this. I\u2019m just not panicked about that. <\/p>\n

I think this election\u2019s gonna be about Obama and Obama and Obama. And at least on this program, this election\u2019s gonna be about Obama. In a sane world, the Democrats would have gotten rid of this guy and put Hillary in there with her new Spanx. Have you never heard of Spanx? I hadn\u2019t heard of Spanx either until today. There\u2019s a story in the New York Post about Hillary wanting to meet the manufacturer of Spanx. It was at the TIME Magazine 100 Most Influential People. Well, 99 or whatever, because I wasn\u2019t there. (interruption) No, it\u2019s not spanking anybody, it\u2019s Spanx, S-p-a-n-x. Hillary and Huma were at the TIME 100 Most Influential People bash. (interruption) No, no, no, no, not getting spanked. Hillary and Huma were — (interruption) look, I know where my sentences are going, if you\u2019d let me say \u2019em. <\/line><\/p>\n

Hillary and Huma are at the TIME bash, the 100 Most Influential People, and there\u2019s all kinds of really influential people there. That\u2019s right, Weiner\u2019s Huma was there. Weiner wasn\u2019t there, but Huma was. Huma was not one of the 100 Most Influential, she was just Hillary\u2019s, oh, I don\u2019t know, guest, escort, I don\u2019t know. Anyway, Weiner\u2019s Huma and Hillary are at the TIME 100 Most Influential People bash. And there\u2019s a lot of influential people there. Bin Laden would have been there if he weren\u2019t dead. And Hillary had a chance to meet all these people, anybody, and she wanted to meet the woman who invented Spanx. And I\u2019m reading this today, I never heard of Spanx. Let me read you the story. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

“Hillary Clinton aide Huma Abedin asked for a meeting with Spanx creator Sara Blakely after the secretary of state spoke at the Time 100 Gala.” Hillary was the keynote Speaker, by the way, at the TIME 100 thing. The event “to celebrate Time Magazine\u00c2\u2019s ‘100 Most Influential People in the World\u2019 issue was packed with moguls, leaders and newsmakers including Jeremy Lin, Timothy Cardinal Dolan, Twitter\u00c2\u2019s Jack Dorsey, Harvey Weinstein, and Rihanna.” I mean, Rihanna. Even Jeremy Lin, great basketball player for three or four weeks there, but I\u2019m telling you, this is a party list. That\u2019s how they put this list together. <\/p>\n

At any rate, all these influential people were there, Jeremy Lin, Timothy Cardinal Dolan, Jack Dorsey, Harvey Weinstein, and Rihanna, but it was Blakely whom Abedin most wanted to meet before she and Hillary left the Time Warner Center. So an event organizer was dispatched to Blakely\u00c2\u2019s table — (interruption) The inventor of Spanx was one of the 100 Most Influential. Hang on a minute, just a second. I\u2019m gonna send a text to Kathryn here, “Katie, have you ever heard of Spanx?” Okay, dictated, send it out there. I should have asked her first. I asked Dawn. Dawn said that she knew what it was. It\u2019s a new girdle, Snerdley. It\u2019s a new girdle. It\u2019s interesting to note that Hillary didn\u2019t go over to the inventor, Hillary sent Huma. <\/line><\/p>\n

Now, Huma doesn\u2019t need a Spanx. I wouldn\u2019t think. So they sent somebody over to Blakely\u2019s table to get her and come back over to Huma and Hillary\u2019s table, and the New York Post says that the event organizer was dispatched, Blakely came over and “the Spanx sensation was soon seen in deep conversation with Clinton. A discreet Blakely, 41, the world\u00c2\u2019s youngest female self-made billionaire after founding Spanx in 2000, didn\u00c2\u2019t tell us if Clinton admitted to wearing Spanx, but said, ‘She told me she read my story in the issue and liked it.'”<\/p>\n

Now, the Blakely story is a great story. I think it is. Very American. She invents a product. People wanted to buy it. There were no government handouts or no slush funds. There were no subsidies. Hillary actually could learn a lot from Sara Blakely. I\u2019ll tell you what I was just told. Even women who don\u2019t need a girdle-like thing like the Spanx wear them anyway because of why? Okay. It\u2019s more professional. It makes a woman look more professional because there\u2019s no sexy jiggle. The Spanx keeps everything firm and taut and there\u2019s no jiggle. Okay, well, I\u2019ve just lost interest in it, then. Professional or not.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: If what Dawn told us is right, that Spanx stops the jiggles and therefore you have a more professional, well, I\u2019ll tell you what: It isn\u2019t old El Rushbo that\u2019s killing the women\u2019s movement; it\u2019s Spanx. It ain\u2019t me.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: What is Hillary doing at the TIME 100 Most Influential bash? Exactly how influential is Hillary Clinton? What has she ever accomplished as secretary of state? You look back on Condoleezza Rice and other Secretaries of State. I mean, the Middle East is falling apart. The United States is weakening itself. We are apparently gonna give away a whole lot of nuclear weapons. What in the world is this? It\u2019s like the rest of the administration: What about this is great? Where is the greatness? Where is the influence? Where is the standing up for America? Where is the defending America as a superpower? It doesn\u2019t exist. So this was just a bash by libs by libs, for libs, with libs.<\/p>\n

With a couple of conservative circus act guests thrown in to give it balance.<\/p>\n

I mean, you could almost say, folks, Mrs. Clinton worked very hard throughout her whole life, and she stuck by her husband while he did what we all know he did. He humiliated her, embarrassed her. Affair after affair after affair. And now Hillary has reached the pinnacle, and all she is is a secretary. She\u2019s the secretary of defense. (laughing) State! State! Whatever. But still a secretary. I don\u2019t know. The left has the strangest definitions of success. (interruption) No, don\u2019t say that. Don\u2019t say that. They\u2019re still trying to get me to keep talking about Spanx. I don\u2019t know. I know people that might be better served if there was a product called “Spankles,” but that is just me. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
