RUSH: I have a funny little audio sound bite here as the liberals try to figure out why they love Bill Clinton. It happened last night on Hardball with Chris Matthews. Guests are Elisabeth Bumiller of the New York Times and Houston Chronicle\u2019s Julie Mason. Matthews says, ‘Elisabeth, Bill Clinton says that Hillary did not follow him to Arkansas because he looked like a political winner. He had nothing to do with her calculation.\u2019 This is where he said — in fact, grab number nine, because then he\u2019s talking about me here when he says ‘somebody.\u2019 Grab number nine even though we\u2019ll go to number ten. This is what Clinton said that they\u2019re reacting to.<\/p>\n

CLINTON: When she came down here and we got married, I was a defeated candidate for Congress with a $26,000 salary and a $42,000 campaign debt. Now, if she were half as calculating as somebody says, that\u2019s a really great way to run for presidency, isn\u2019t it? I\u2019ll go to a state I\u2019ve barely seen and marry some failed politician with a $26,000 salary and $42,000 debt.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Had he been a failed politician yet when they moved to Arkansas? That\u2019s not a big deal, but he\u2019s talking about me there. Matthews asks his guests here, ‘Bill Clinton says Hillary didn\u2019t follow him to Arkansas because he looked like a political winner. It had nothing to do with her calculation. Why does he say things like that?\u2019 Chris, the answer is because he\u2019s got me on the brain, because I\u2019m out there saying this whole relationship is a calculation on her part to take over when he gets where he\u2019s going, and she\u2019s admitted it, and you are in the media and you don\u2019t even know it. The only reason he brought this up is because he\u2019s getting bugged that I keep saying it. Of course these clowns don\u2019t know that, so now they gotta get a little discussion about why they love Bill Clinton.<\/p>\n

BUMILLER: What do you expect him to say?<\/p>\n

MATTHEWS: Nothing. If you can\u2019t tell the truth, shut up. How is that for a concept? Why does he keep saying stuff that\u2019s so transparently ridiculous? Of course she loves the guy. Nobody\u2019s questioning that. But she thought he was a winner. She told everybody he\u2019s a winner. <\/p>\n

BUMILLER: He\u2019s also a charming person. He\u2019s a charming man. <\/p>\n

MATTHEWS: But that\u2019s not the point. <\/p>\n

BUMILLER: She talks about how he looked like a Viking when she first met him. <\/p>\n

MATTHEWS: Why does she say that she thought he was this loser making, as if 45 wasn\u2019t a good salary back then? It\u2019s always a good salary. Why is he out there Julie, help me here. You\u2019re laughing. Why does Bill Clinton keep saying the incredible: ‘I did not have sexual relations with that woman.\u2019 ‘I was against the war in Iraq from the beginning.\u2019 Why does he keep laying on this malarkey? This Southern bull.<\/p>\n

MASON: Because he keeps getting away with it.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Because he\u2019s getting away with it. Amen, bro, western Massachusetts, Pam, nice to have you on the EIB Network. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Lonely Republican greetings from Kennedy-Kerry country.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah, I can imagine. Thank you.<\/p>\n

CALLER: While we\u2019re on the subject of Massachusetts, I just want to say that Romney is everything that he appears to be. He took our state, which was in debt with our Democratic Congress and he put it into the black in three years, not in four years, but in three years. He did it by eliminating bureaucracy, by combining administrations, and he reduced the size of our state government. He reduced our taxes. He did everything he said he would do, and he brought some of the representation, the taxation closer to the town —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Whoa, whoa, I don\u2019t mean to interrupt here, but I thought you were going to talk about Obama.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Oh, I have something to say about that, too, but I just wanted to say that Romney is everything that he appears to be. He\u2019s wonderful. But Obama —<\/p>\n

RUSH: (kissing sound)<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah. I\u2019ll tell you. Obama\u2019s appeal, unfortunately, to the masses is that he says absolutely nothing, and that\u2019s what the masses understand. His campaign, his domestic policy is, ‘together we can,\u2019 and his foreign policy is, ‘we are better.\u2019 He has said absolutely nothing. It\u2019s sort of like you fill in the blanks with whatever it is you want to hear, and that\u2019s his policy.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, they are saying some specific things on health care, but even that\u2019s somewhere vague. You\u2019re right. I agree with you about this. Obama is running almost a messianic campaign. He is the messiah. He has been brought forth in the midst of the partisan rancor, and with the power of his appealing, charismatic personality, he is going to heal the wounds of a broken nation. With what? Nobody cares, because The Oprah doesn\u2019t care. It just matters that he\u2019s charismatic. So empty suits, they\u2019re all empty suits.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
