The subject has been popularized by the latest season of House of Cards.  Have you delved into it yet?  Have you watched it on Netflix? (interruption) All right.  In the show, journalists and members of Congress routinely sleep with each other, and so it came up on Fox the other day. <\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s come up in other places, since the show is in its second season.  Dana Perino, Bush\u2019s Press Secretary, said, &#8220;No, no, no. That would never happen. It would never happen!&#8221; Beckel said, &#8220;Heh, heh, heh. Are you kidding? Let me tell you something. I\u2019ve been in this town 20 years and I\u2019m gonna tell you what: Everybody\u2019s sleeping with everyone.  And it\u2019s males and females and sources and journalists. Heh, heh, heh.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Dana Perino said, &#8220;I can\u2019t believe that would actually happen here,&#8221; and it is happening. <\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Let\u2019s get to the Bob Beckel business. House of Cards star Robin Wright.  Snerdley, you do watch the show, right? (interruption) But you\u2019re wrapping up season one? (interruption) Oh, you\u2019re reviewing the last season, so you remember where it left off so that you\u2019re up to speed when it picks up? (interruption)  Well here it says all 13 episodes are up there on Netflix.  They\u2019re all one hour.  I think the last one might be 63 minutes.  They\u2019re all 58, 59 minutes. <\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_87567\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/BeckelPennHouseofCards.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>If you want, you can speed through the open. The open\u2019s about two minutes but the open doesn\u2019t actually open.  You can\u2019t really do that, because the show opens cold with actual content and the open comes up.  But whenever the open hits, it\u2019s two minutes. You can speed through it.  So he\u2019s catching up with it.  Robin Wright plays&#8230; What do you think of this, if you watch the show.<\/p>\n<p>Some people think that Kevin Spacey\u2019s character and his wife Robin Wright are actually depictions of Bill and Hillary.  They\u2019re not president.  He ends up&#8230; Well, no, I can\u2019t spoil it.  He\u2019s a high-ranking member of Congress.  She runs a nonprofit think tank.  But the depiction, some people are saying&#8230; I don\u2019t know if most people know this, the House of Cards, the original is Brit.  It goes way back to the \u201990s.  It was a four-season extravaganza. (interruption)<\/p>\n<p>Is it on Netflix, the original House of Cards?  (interruption) You\u2019ve watched that one twice? (interruption)  Now, that one is, that series, that\u2019s not Bill Clinton, and his wife is not Hillary.  But this is the adaptation.  Some people are saying that.  &#8220;House of Cards star Robin Wright made waves in Washington this week when she claimed she had it on good authority from an unnamed Obama Regime official that reporters really do sleep with their Capitol Hill sources, just as characters in the hit Netflix drama do on screen. According to &#8230; Bob Beckel, it &#8216;happens all the time.'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The audio sound bite, this is The Five.  Eric Bolling is co-hosting and he mentions what Robin Wright said about sources and journalists sleeping with each other in DC.  He\u2019s acting kind of dubious of it, and Beckel weighs in.<\/p>\n<p>BECKEL: Are you kidding me? I was in Washington for 30 years. I can tell you&#8230; I don\u2019t have to guess. I can tell you specifically. I know one female reporter from a particular newspaper chain that slept with at least two members of Congress.  I know of a lobbyist, a female lobbyist slept with maybe eight members of Congress.<\/p>\n<p>TARANTULA: Woo!<\/p>\n<p>BECKEL: I know, when I was in the administration, uhhh &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>TARANTULA: (snickering)<\/p>\n<p>BECKEL: Well, anyway, to answer your question about female, uh, members of Congress, that\u2019s been done.  Uh, yes, it happens all the time.   <\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Now, it then came up, &#8220;Well, wait a minute. Everybody\u2019s assuming that the journalists are all women and female journalists sleeping with their sources,&#8221; and Beckel said, &#8220;It\u2019s not just women, but I know male journalists sleeping with their sources.  It\u2019s not just females.&#8221; Now, is any of this shocking to you? <\/p>\n<p>We can watch a White House press conference when Clinton was president and we can name the women who wish they were in bed with him just by watching their attitude.  We\u2019ve had female journalists actually offer, in print, Bill Clinton free Lewinskies in gratitude on his support for abortion.  Nina Burleigh at Time Magazine offered Clinton, in writing, a free Lewinsky as thanks.  You can see it in their eyes. <\/p>\n<p>When the Lewinsky scandal hit, you could see some of the journalists thinking, &#8220;Why not me?&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Bob Beckel has confirmed that journalists of all three sexes are sleeping with their sources in Washington and have been for years.
