Last night on Hardball with Chris Matthews, the guest was Howard Kurtz of the Washington Post, who we like here. We\u2019ve always liked Howie. He does his best to get it right and to be fair. Matthews says, &#8216;Is it better to be noticed and whacked at, or ignored, Howard\u2019 when you\u2019re one of these candidates?<\/p>\n<p>KURTZ: A couple months ago Hillary, you remember, did all five Sunday morning shows, and whenever anyone asked her a reasonably tough question &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>MATTHEWS (interruption): That was called &#8216;the full Ginsburg,\u2019 right?<\/p>\n<p>KURTZ: Yeah. It\u2019s the &#8212; after &#8212; aft &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>MATTHEWS (interruption): He was the guy who was the lawyer for &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>KURTZ: Monica Lewinsky\u2019s lawyer. <\/p>\n<p>MATTHEWS (interruption): Lewinsky.<\/p>\n<p>KURTZ: And after any reasonably tough question, she would go, &#8216;Ha-ha-ha-ha!\u2019 So Jon Stewart spliced all that laughter together and &#8212; and made a bit out of it, and that ended up being played on the CBS Evening News! They\u2019re all now adopting The Daily Show technique of using videotape to illustrate the absurdity of politics.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Come on, Howard! We started that on the Rush television show in 1992! That\u2019s what the show was. The famous Ron Brown memorial video of Bill Clinton walking along with Tony Campolo, I think it was his name, the minister &#8212; and he\u2019s laughing it up and yukking it up, just having the grandest time walking into church at the Ron Brown memorial, spots an NBC camera and in less than half a step, starts faking crying; and Campolo doesn\u2019t get it, keeps laughing. <\/p>\n<p><BR\/><a href=\"\/\/home\/best\/clinton_laugh_cry_video.member.html\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/Late_Night_Comedy_TV_Shows_Copy_What_This_Show_Started_-12_13_07.Par.89380.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"513\" height=\"156\"\/><\/a><\/line><BR\/>We put together all kinds of video montages. We did it for four years and we brought that to the radio show as well, and to give Stewart credit, why, that\u2019s just not right, Howard. It\u2019s just not right. So much of what has happened on this program has been stolen and adopted as original by other broadcasts, particularly television. Hell, you know, folks, I\u2019m going to go out and I\u2019m going to go so far out on a limb and tell you nighttime cable television shows are talk radio on TV. What do you think was the inspiration for trying that format on television? It wasn\u2019t Jon Stewart. I\u2019ve got nothing against Jon Stewart. I don\u2019t even know him. <\/line><\/p>\n<p>END TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>*Note: Links to content outside RushLimbaugh.com usually become inactive over time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: All right, to the audio sound bites.
