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

RUSH: Did you people know that I want Hillary Clinton elected president? Well, it happened this morning on C-SPAN, on their Washington Journal show. Peter Slen, the host, was interviewing American University Women and Politics Institute director Jennifer Lawless. During the interview they took some phone calls from C-SPAN viewers about women in politics, and a guy from Rochester (snowed in, no doubt), Andrew, called in and had this to say…<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

ANDREW: I\u2019m a little afraid that Rush Limbaugh is gonna get Hillary Clinton elected. I\u2019m a little afraid.<\/p>\n

SLEN: Why do you say that, Andrew? You\u2019re calling on the Republican line.<\/p>\n

ANDREW: Well, Rush Limbaugh, I don\u2019t think is interested in getting Republicans elected. I think he\u2019s interested in getting Democrats elected so that the people that pay Rush Limbaugh can make more money off of a divided country. That\u2019s just what I think. Anyway, if Rush Limbaugh does get Hillary elected, which is what it — the people that pay Rush Limbaugh would like him to do, do you think that Hillary Clinton would be a good president or do you think she\u2019s just in it for the money like a lot of people?<\/p>\n

RUSH: (laughing) So the people that pay me are in it for the money, I\u2019m in it for the money, and Hillary\u2019s in it for the money. “The people that pay Rush Limbaugh want Hillary elected.” This guy, maybe remembers Operation Chaos<\/a> and he may be totally confused about what it was, but I doubt that. I just think this is your average, low-information idiot who thinks he knows everything. He doesn\u2019t listen here, and he doesn\u2019t know what goes on here.<\/p>\n

But he reads what is said or broadcast about me, and he thinks that I don\u2019t believe what I say, and I\u2019m just in it for the money, and I want Democrats elected so I\u2019ll have people to oppose and argue about and conflict, that I don\u2019t want my own guys to win — which is just pure idiocy. It\u2019s lunacy. Anyway, so that was Andrew in Rochester. Here is Jennifer Lawless from American University Women and Politics Institute. She\u2019s the director. Here\u2019s her reaction…<\/p>\n

LAWLESS: I think that Rush Limbaugh cannot get anybody elected president. But if we go down the path of assuming that Hillary Clinton is the nominee and then does get elected, she\u2019s in a position now where it would be far more lucrative for her not to run for office and not to be president of the United States. She and her husband can both command speaking salaries that far exceed what she would make as president. It\u2019s hard to find a candidate, though, with a better resume and more diverse experience than she has.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Absolute lunacy all over C-SPAN today. Just total lunacy. I mean, here\u2019s this guy who calls and makes it all about money, and so this woman, “Okay, well, I\u2019ll deal with this guy on the basis of money, and then say, ‘Well, there\u2019s no way Hillary could make anywhere near the kind of money being president that she could if she wasn\u2019t elected president! She couldn\u2019t get paid for speeches and so forth. But if she ran, there\u2019s nobody better. No better resume and more diverse experience.'”<\/p>\n

How about competence, Jennifer? There isn\u2019t any. Benghazi, Hillarycare, the bimbo eruptions? Would somebody explain to me? I\u2019ve told you, this business with Hillary is not about her competence. It is not about her qualifications. It\u2019s about what she is owed for making sure that Clinton survived. It\u2019s about paying her back for all of the excrement sandwiches she had to eat while married to that guy while they were in Arkansas and everywhere else during the bimbo eruptions.<\/p>\n

During Clinton running around with Monica Lewinsky, she enabled him to stay in office. She enabled him to stay married. She took all of that, and it\u2019s her turn — and it was her turn in 2008, until Obama came along, and then the party powers chose the young black guy over the… uh, over her. She\u2019s been a dutiful soldier since then. So now it\u2019s her turn, and they tell us she has a “diverse resume” and all of this. What about competence? <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
