RUSH: A lot of people out there, ladies and gentlemen, playing in their minds, ding-dong, the wicked witch, the wicked witch is dead, speaking of Hillary. Too soon, ladies and gentlemen, because until we see those legs protruding from underneath the house, you cannot say that Hillary is dead. But I\u2019ll tell you, there are a couple of stories on Mrs. Clinton today. I just bashed Obama, so it\u2019s only fair here that we engage in some criticism of Mrs. Clinton. By the way, speaking of Obama, there\u2019s another fascinating story today, American Spectator. When his TelePromTer breaks down or when he doesn\u2019t even have a TelePromTer, all this flowery, vapid speech filled with hope, it vanishes, and he reverts into the typical liberal angry, full of rage, ripping Bush, ripping Rove, ripping ExxonMobil, every standard Democrat talking point he just starts railing. When he doesn\u2019t have a ‘PromTer, he\u2019s a different guy. Dean Barnett has the story. <\/p>\n

These two stories about Hillary, not ready to release tax returns, no possibility of future Bill scandals. Now, we\u2019ve got the bite. We\u2019re going to play the bite. She said nobody can predict the future. She was asked about future scandals involving her husband. (paraphrasing) ‘Well, nobody can predict the future, but I don\u2019t think there\u2019s any possibility of future scandals.\u2019 Let\u2019s go to the audio sound bites. Question: WJLA, Washington, last night. Anchor Leon Harris interviewing Hillary, he says, ‘This one comes from Politico reader Robert Kantor of Santa Monica, California, who writes, ‘How can we be sure that some new business or personal scandal involving Bill Clinton won\u2019t erupt which the Republicans will use to blow your agenda and your administration right out of the water?”<\/p>\n

HILLARY: Well, you know, I just can assure this reader that that is not going to happen. You know, none of us can predict the future no matter who we are and what we\u2019re running for, but I\u2019m very confident that that will not happen.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Whoa ho-ho-ho! And how, ladies and gentlemen, is she confident, when their whole lives is a scandal! It\u2019s one scandal after another. Doesn\u2019t matter. Norman Hsu, dishwashers in Chinatown, the Lippo Group, but she\u2019s sure it isn\u2019t going to happen. Now, what would make her say that? What in the world — I ask you — and, better yet, it might be better to ask those of you women out there who are wives. Imagine not that you\u2019re running for president, but that in your marriage, there\u2019s a history of your husband doing things in public that are not good, not wise, scandalous and it gets out, you\u2019re up for a promotion at your office, and your boss says to you, ‘I don\u2019t think we can handle another one of these scandals involving your husband.\u2019 ‘Don\u2019t worry, I\u2019ve got that handled.\u2019 I want to know, you wives, how you would have it handled. I am at a loss to explain this. This goes beyond the testicle lockbox. I\u2019m not going to presume that I understand how this could be enforced. Snerdley, if you can find some women who want to answer this — I\u2019m serious. I\u2019m not making a joke about this. We\u2019re not trying to have fun. This is one of these situations, circumstances, I actually need to learn. All of us men could learn from this answer and how this answer gets enforced. Next, John Harris from Politico, says, ‘Senator Clinton, you were offended by comments that were made on [DNCTV], and in the wake of that, I heard from some of the people on your staff who say to their surprise, they actually think that Fox News is giving you a better break than [DNCTV.] What\u2019s your perception?\u2019<\/p>\n

HILLARY: Well, there\u2019s some independent study that my staff sent me. We didn\u2019t do it. But it was some independent study which seems to suggest that. But in terms of, you know, the fairness of the coverage, you know, look I\u2019m a mom first, I\u2019m a candidate second. And, you know, I really am troubled by this pattern of behavior and comments that you hear. This is like the third time they\u2019ve had to apologize and there are a lot of things that they haven\u2019t had to apologize for that might have merited one, so I wish they would take a look at, you know, some of the pattern of demeaning comments that are made on their network.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I will say what I said yesterday. Has Mr. Clinton, has your husband apologized to Monica Lewinsky for real abuse of a woman? Has he apologized to Kathleen Willey? Come on, Mrs. Clinton, this is a big stretch. You\u2019re a mom first and a candidate second? By the way, Chelsea, she\u2019s old enough to run for Congress out there. She\u2019s 28 years old, and she\u2019s speaking now. She\u2019s calling up these super delegates. Let\u2019s just stay in order here on the audio sound bites. This is in Milwaukee at a Hillary campaign rally with Chelsea, unidentified guy says, ‘What makes Senator Clinton\u2019s health care plan the best plan?\u2019<\/p>\n

CHELSEA: I\u2019m proud that she stood up for health care before it was fashionable and I\u2019m proud that what she\u2019s proposing now reflects the lessons that she\u2019s learned. But if you have health care and you\u2019re not happy with it, like me, who has employer provided health care, but I\u2019m not happy with it, and if you are one of the 100 million who are uninsured at some point throughout the year, because we talk a lot about the 47 million who are chronically uninsured —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Chronically?<\/p>\n

CHELSEA: — but there are more than twice that number who at some point don\u2019t have health insurance throughout a year, you\u2019ll be able to buy into the congressional health plan.<\/p>\n

RUSH: She\u2019s got health coverage, she\u2019s not happy with it. She works at a hedge fund or something, it\u2019s a hedge fund, right? Some Wall Street entity. And she admits here that she\u2019s got health care, but she\u2019s not happy with it. So now we\u2019re up to a hundred million who are uninsured at some point throughout the year, and now 47 million chronically uninsured, that\u2019s like a disease. We got the acute uninsured. We got the chronic uninsured. Chelsea now speaks. This is also quite telling. Have you noticed Clinton\u2019s nowhere around. He might have surfaced yesterday. But Clinton, you haven\u2019t been able to find him. All of a sudden Chelsea\u2019s now speaking, and Hillary\u2019s out there saying she\u2019s a mom first. Here\u2019s another portion of Chelsea\u2019s remarks, saying that her mother is more fiscally conservative than her father and Bush.<\/p>\n

CHELSEA: Well, I don\u2019t think that you should vote for my mom because of my father. I don\u2019t think you should vote against her because of my father. But how would she be different? On so many fronts. We\u2019re talking about fiscal responsibility and my mother is more fiscally conservative than my father, and certainly this president. And on health care, I think that she learned a lot through trying to achieve health care the first time that really has enabled her to articulate a plan that will be politically viable while covering everyone.<\/p>\n

RUSH: By the way, I slipped up here, folks. Mrs. Clinton, I want to apologize. I commented on what your daughter said, and I know she is off limits. I\u2019m sorry. I mean, everybody apologizes when they say something about Chelsea. We played Chelsea\u2019s comment there, and I sort of lampooned her characterization of the chronically uninsured, and the fact that she\u2019s not happy with her health care. Some people could construe that to be critical of Chelsea Clinton, which is not permitted. I wasn\u2019t even thinking about it. I just should have played the sound bites and not commented, and I officially apologize on behalf of the broadcast engineer, on behalf of Cookie, who gave me the sound bites. I want to apologize to Fast Eddie who had nothing to do with it, but he came in and laughed. We are terribly, terribly sorry, Mrs. Clinton, well I am. I will apologize for myself. I wouldn\u2019t call it a pattern of abuse here. (interruption) I know she\u2019s 28 years old, but you know the rules, and we violated the rules here, and I want to be thought of at least as fair and balanced as Fox, in Mrs. Clinton\u2019s eyes.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Shona, Endicott, New York, nice to have you on the EIB Network. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hello?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, Mr. Limbaugh, how nice it is to talk to you. I\u2019m going to get nervous now, but I was going to comment about Hillary\u2019s comment about controlling Bill. She said it a couple times and it\u2019s often made me think, the best thing we could come up with in our household was she\u2019s going to banish him or something, or divorce him, because there\u2019s no way you can control somebody.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Hmm. Hmm. The question, if you\u2019re just joining us, Mrs. Clinton promised people, she said, we can\u2019t predict the future, but I can assure you there will not be any more Bill scandals when I\u2019m in the White House. And I had to ask, I can\u2019t explain this. I asked the women in this audience to call. Shona happens to be the first one that got through on this. What in the world could somebody like Hillary do to assure us there will be no more Bill scandals, when Bill\u2019s whole life is a scandal? (interruption) I know it doesn\u2019t mean he\u2019s not going to do anything. What is she saying, that\u2019s he\u2019s not going to get caught, the press isn\u2019t going to report it? Is that what she\u2019s saying? They\u2019ll keep it quiet. They can\u2019t run that risk. She\u2019s assured us it won\u2019t happen. So what Shona is saying, the only way that you can assure people it isn\u2019t going to be a problem is if you divorce him and he gets into a scandal and she\u2019s got nothing to do with it because they\u2019re divorced. But I don\u2019t see that. I don\u2019t see that. But I\u2019d be appreciative if any of you other babes want to take a stab at this when we get back tomorrow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
