\"Listen<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: Who do you think started the birther movement against Obama? You know the birther movement, the claim that Obama was not born in Hawaii, that he was rather born in some Muslim country somewhere. And that he was not qualified, according to the Constitution, to be president, \u2019cause he\u2019s not born of American parents anywhere, and he was not born in the United States. Who started that movement? (interruption) Well, you\u2019re pretty damn close. <\/p>\n

It was Hillary Clinton that started the movement. It was the Hillary Clinton campaign in 2008 that started the movement. That whole thing was started by Hillary. Now, I don\u2019t know if Blumenthal was involved with that. The odds would be. But Ted Cruz sat down for an hour with Katie Couric yesterday on her (chuckles) wildly popular Yahoo website show. By the way, has anybody ever seen Katie Couric and Bob Costas at the same time anywhere? (interruption) Well, we\u2019re into transgender things here. <\/p>\n

We\u2019ve got Bruce\/Caitlyn Jenner. I\u2019m just wondering. I mean, they\u2019re interchangeable. Anyway, Ted Cruz sat down with Katie Couric for the whole hour, and it started out with her being typically smug and asking him if he felt like his candidacy is historic because he\u2019d be the first American president to be born in Canada. That was her first snarky question. (interruption) No, not that he was a fake Hispanic. That\u2019s the second thing they try to hit Cruz on. He\u2019s a fake Hispanic. <\/p>\n

“He may have a Hispanic name, but he\u2019s not really Hispanic!” <\/line><\/p>\n

Remember when he was on with Mark Halperin? Mark Halperin made him explain the Cuban foods that he likes and the Cuban songs that they sang in the Cruz household and all that. I mean, really low-rent stuff that no Democrat candidate would be asked. So, anyway, the perky Katie Couric was talking to Ted Cruz<\/a>, and she had this smug look on her face and she is acting all superior, which is what the left really is made up of.<\/p>\n

They\u2019re a bunch of phony baloney, plastic banana, good-time rock ‘n\u2019 rollers who think they are superior to everybody, and they act that way. You should see the look on her face crumble when he informs her that it was the Hillary Clinton campaign in 2008 that created the anti-Obama birther movement. The source for this is Breitbart.com<\/a>. It happens about 25 minutes in to the interview. (We will link to it at RushLimbaugh.com.) Cruz said, “You know, it\u2019s very interesting. This whole birther thing was started by the Hillary Clinton campaign in 2008 against Obama.” <\/p>\n

Katie Couric just (gasping and choking). <\/p>\n
