RUSH: Everybody\u2019s buzzing, ladies and gentlemen — bzz bzz bzz bzz bzz — about this exchange with George Stephanopoulos yesterday on This Week with Hillary Clinton.<\/p>\n

STEPHANOPOULOS: Rush Limbaugh is asking Republicans to come out and vote for you in order to divide the party.<\/p>\n

HILLARY: He\u2019s always had a crush on me. (laughter) <\/p>\n

RUSH: Hillary Clinton saying I\u2019ve always had a crush on her. Let\u2019s go back to January 10th on this program and me.<\/p>\n

RUSH ARCHIVE: The acceptance speech after she had won the primary, I thought she looked better than I had ever seen her. When she came out late at night, gave the acceptance speech, I thought — she got the hair down, you know, every day during the Clinton years is a different hat, different hair band, different hairstyle. She got the hair thing down. She looked glowing. She looked genuinely happy, Mr. Snerdley — she did. At that acceptance speech, she looked genuinely — she even looked sexy. I thought she looked sexy.<\/p>\n

RUSH: That was January 10th on this program, complimenting Mrs. Clinton\u2019s appearance. This morning on Fox &amp; Friends the cohost Gretchen Carlson talked to Hillary Clinton. They had this exchange.<\/p>\n

CARLSON: Do you also have an advisor for niceness? Because that\u2019s been one of the biggest raps against you —<\/p>\n

HILLARY: (cackling)<\/p>\n

CARLSON: — and things seem to have changed for you recently. Now that line yesterday about Rush Limbaugh, who\u2019s helping you?<\/p>\n

HILLARY: Nobody. I\u2019m just having a good time. I think this is so much fun, campaigning across our country, and especially these last couple of weeks, in North Carolina and Indiana. People have been wonderful. The spring is here, everything is blooming. I mean, how could you not have a good time? It\u2019s been wonderful.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Did you catch that? This is pure disrespect. Gretchen Carlson asks Mrs. Clinton who\u2019s helping you? And Hillary says, ‘Nobody.\u2019 Nobody. Her husband let her down every step of the way. If it weren\u2019t for me and Operation Chaos, she wouldn\u2019t be where she is. She knows it. She knows it, and so does Obama, ladies and gentlemen. Then this morning on Scarborough\u2019s show on MSNBC, Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski have this exchange with Hillary.<\/p>\n

SCARBOROUGH: I\u2019m a little disappointed. Senator Hillary Clinton in Greenville, North Carolina, I had no idea that Rush Limbaugh had a crush on you, too. I\u2019m flabbergasted.<\/p>\n

HILLARY: (cackling)<\/p>\n

BRZEZINSKI: Oh, boy.<\/p>\n

SCARBOROUGH: Shocked, stunned.<\/p>\n

HILLARY: Don\u2019t you think — (cackle) — don\u2019t you think we\u2019ve caused a little cognitive dissonance out there?<\/p>\n

SCARBOROUGH: I think so. That\u2019s one way to put it.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Now, this crush business, ladies and gentlemen, I think I understand it now. I do. Mrs. Clinton is saying I have a crush on her. Obviously they think this in the Clinton household. So this probably explains why Bill Clinton hit on my date at the Kobe Club in New York last year. He used the mayor of Los Angeles to distract me while he came along and started chatting up my date. Then he brought Ron Burkle over to distract me, and he came over to the table three times. (doing Clinton impression) ‘Hey, Limbaugh, you\u2019re looking really good.\u2019 I shook his hand, he left, comes back, the mayor of Los Angeles, I thought it was a Secret Service agent, maybe a shoeshine guy. Turns out he gives me his card, I said, ‘Oh, my gosh, it\u2019s the mayor of Los Angeles.\u2019 I stood up, I said, ‘Hello, Mr. Villaraigosa.\u2019 We started chatting, a minute later I took a glance to the left and Clinton\u2019s face is two inches from my date\u2019s. I was distracted. So obviously Clinton has known of this in the household of the Clintons, that I had a crush on his wife. He probably heard that sound bite on January 10th, (doing Clinton impression) ‘My God, nobody\u2019s ever called her sexy. What the hell\u2019s going on here?\u2019 This is her way of thanking me, by the way, for Operation Chaos.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: I just got a note from Cookie up in New York. ‘I\u2019m worried,\u2019 she says. ‘You did not deny the crush on Hillary.\u2019 I wrote her back, you know, an instant message abbreviation, ‘LOL\u2019 for ‘laughing out loud.\u2019 She writes back, ‘I\u2019m serious. This could hurt you.\u2019 <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: The audio sound bites that have happened over the weekend about Operation Chaos. Because the Drive-By Media is doing everything it can to say there is no Operation Chaos, it\u2019s ineffective, it doesn\u2019t matter, and yet others in the Drive-By Media can\u2019t stop talking about it, cannot stop analyzing it, cannot stop trying to figure it out. It\u2019s hilarious. We start with Mrs. Clinton on Stephanopoulos\u2019 show yesterday.<\/p>\n

STEPHANOPOULOS: Rush Limbaugh is asking Republicans to come out and vote for you in order to divide the party.<\/p>\n

HILLARY: He\u2019s always had a crush on me. (laughter) <\/p>\n

RUSH: Mrs. Clinton saying that I have always had a crush on her. You know, it\u2019s probably just the other way around. I\u2019ve told you about the time she followed me in an elevator in a New York hotel and hit the stop button and asked to be treated like a woman because it hadn\u2019t happened in such a long time, but I also said this back on January the 10th on this very program.<\/p>\n

RUSH ARCHIVE: The acceptance speech after she had won the primary, I thought she looked better than I had ever seen her. When she came out late at night, gave the acceptance speech, I thought — she got the hair down, you know, every day during the Clinton years is a different hat, different hair band, different hairstyle. She got the hair thing down. She looked glowing. She looked genuinely happy, Mr. Snerdley — she did. At that acceptance speech, she looked genuinely — she even looked sexy. I thought she looked sexy.<\/p>\n

RUSH: And at that point, Cookie Gleason, Cookie Prayias, up in New York, just panicked, and thought I was losing it, and she\u2019s still panicked over the fact that Hillary says that I have a crush on her and Cookie hasn\u2019t heard me deny it today. Look, if Hillary thinks I\u2019ve got a crush on her, so does Bill. The Clinton household thinks that I\u2019ve got a crush on her, and that would explain why Clinton hit on my date, about a year ago in New York at the Kobe Club. Now, I told the story to Martha MacCallum a half hour ago, she didn\u2019t think I was telling the truth. She thought I was telling a joke but it\u2019s the truth. I\u2019m sitting there minding my own business and Clinton came to the table three different times. The second time he brought the mayor of Los Angeles to distract me and after I\u2019m talking to the mayor of Los Angeles for about a minute-and-a-half, I glanced to my left and Clinton\u2019s face is inches away from my date. He came back a third time with Ron Burkle. It was at the Kobe Club in New York. It was written about, there were witnesses in there. People with their cell phones were taking pictures of this. Martha didn\u2019t believe me. So clearly, Clinton thinks that I\u2019ve got a crush on his wife, and that\u2019s why he hit on my date at the Kobe Club. Well, this was discussed all over the Drive-By Media. First on Fox &amp; Friends this morning, Gretchen Carlson was discussing this with Mrs. Clinton.<\/p>\n

CARLSON: Do you also have an advisor for niceness? Because that\u2019s been one of the biggest raps against you —<\/p>\n

HILLARY: (cackling)<\/p>\n

CARLSON: — and things seem to have changed for you recently. Now that line yesterday about Rush Limbaugh, who\u2019s helping you?<\/p>\n

HILLARY: Nobody. I\u2019m just having a good time. I think this is so much fun, campaigning across our country, and especially these last couple of weeks in North Carolina and Indiana. People have been wonderful. The spring is here, everything is blooming. I mean, how could you not have a good time? It\u2019s been wonderful.<\/p>\n

RUSH: She\u2019s denying me. She says nobody\u2019s helping her. She knows full well that Operation Chaos is helping her and in fact this business about my having a crush on her, that\u2019s her way of thanking me. You know, that was sort of cute, to say I have a crush on her. Then this morning on Morning Joe, Scarborough\u2019s show on PMSNBC, he and the cohost Mika Brzezinski discuss this. <\/p>\n

SCARBOROUGH: I\u2019m a little disappointed. Senator Hillary Clinton in Greenville, North Carolina, I had no idea that Rush Limbaugh had a crush on you, too. I\u2019m flabbergasted.<\/p>\n

HILLARY: (cackling)<\/p>\n

BRZEZINSKI: Oh, boy.<\/p>\n

SCARBOROUGH: Shocked, stunned.<\/p>\n

HILLARY: Don\u2019t you think — (cackle) — don\u2019t you think we\u2019ve caused a little cognitive dissonance out there?<\/p>\n

SCARBOROUGH: I think so. That\u2019s one way to put it.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Do you hear how happy she sounds? She sounds schoolgirl happy. Mrs. Clinton sounds schoolgirl happy. She\u2019s laughing and cackling it all up out there. You remember, my friends, she\u2019s saying it\u2019s so much fun out there now, I have a crush on her, she\u2019s having more fun than she\u2019s had in a long time, she\u2019s winning these primaries, or coming close. Obama hasn\u2019t won diddly-squat since February 22nd. But do you remember before Operation Chaos, she was crying about how hard the campaign was? Remember she got this planted question up in New Hampshire? How do you do it? How do you do your hair? And she started crying, here came the tear. ‘It\u2019s hard. It\u2019s very hard,\u2019 she said. And we at Operation Chaos came to her rescue, her emotional rescue, Rolling Stones. We\u2019ve got the audio. If we wanted to go back to the archives we\u2019ve got the audio of Mrs. Clinton talking about how hard it was with the tear and now she\u2019s talking about how much fun it is. So it\u2019s clear, ladies and gentlemen, that there has been a sizable emotional and attitudinal shift in her campaign, brought about by Operation Chaos. I would go so far as to say, ladies and gentlemen, I and all of us at Operation Chaos are doing the job for her that her husband can\u2019t do or won\u2019t do.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: We\u2019re going to illustrate here, this is Mrs. Clinton, ladies and gentlemen, January 7th, 2008, in the morning in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, and this is just a little bit here of what she said on that date.<\/p>\n

HILLARY: It\u2019s not easy. It\u2019s not easy. Um, and I couldn\u2019t do it if I just didn\u2019t, you know, passionately believe it was the right thing to do. You know, I have so many opportunities from this country. I just don\u2019t want to see us fall backwards. No. So —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Started crying, clearly not having a good time. She\u2019s just lost Iowa, which wasn\u2019t supposed to happen, and then this morning on the Fox News Channel.<\/p>\n

CARLSON: Do you also have an advisor for niceness? Because that\u2019s been one of the biggest raps against you —<\/p>\n

HILLARY: (cackling)<\/p>\n

CARLSON: — and things seem to have changed for you recently. Now that line yesterday about Rush Limbaugh, who\u2019s helping you?<\/p>\n

HILLARY: Nobody. I\u2019m just having a good time. I think this is so much fun, campaigning across our country, and especially these last couple of weeks in North Carolina and Indiana. People have been wonderful. The spring is here, everything is blooming. I mean, how could you not have a good time? It\u2019s been wonderful.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Ladies and gentlemen, the contrast is stark and undeniable. Everything\u2019s blooming. She\u2019s got schoolgirl giddiness after announcing yesterday she thinks I have a crush on her. You heard the contrast. Something has clearly changed out there. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
