Alex Rodriguez has decided to take a page out of the Clinton playbook to treat Bud Selig and the New York Yankees as Ken Starr.  What Rodriguez is going to say is, &#8220;Why me?  Why\u2019d these other guys get suspended for 50 games and you\u2019re giving me 211? Why are you singling me out? Why didn\u2019t you offer me 50?  How come you\u2019re taking away all this money from me?&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>He\u2019s gonna say that they\u2019ve gotta vendetta against him. He\u2019s gonna say that they don\u2019t like him. He\u2019s gonna say that they got big problems with him, and then he\u2019s gonna say&#8230; He hasn\u2019t denied any of this.  He was asked point-blank yesterday at the press conference whether he took any of these performance enhancing drugs. He did say, &#8220;Well, I\u2019m not gonna talk about it. It\u2019s not the place for this.  I\u2019m just so excited to be back in uniform, so excited to be back in the game I love,&#8221; and he really thought answers were really confusing. <\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_79619\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/A-RodClinton.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>But what he\u2019s gonna do is make that case. He\u2019s got \u2019til Thursday to decide whether he\u2019s gonna fight this or take it.  If he fights it, it goes to arbitration, and he continues to play, and the arbitrator says, &#8220;Well, we won\u2019t have a decision on this \u2019til November or December.&#8221; So it\u2019s gonna drag on, and Rodriguez is, as I said yesterday, gonna say that the commissioner is singling him out, gonna vendetta.<\/p>\n<p>Nobody likes him. He\u2019s victim. They\u2019re treating him unfairly, not like all the other people.  Twelve of them, I think, have been suspended.  And then he might even assert that the Yankees are culpable because they misdiagnosed his injuries, and they mistreated, therefore, his injuries, and they forced him to go elsewhere to get well.  The problem there is that it was Rodriguez who chose the surgeons involved. <\/p>\n<p>He actually chose the doctors to operate on his hip, and I think there was another knee operation involved in this time frame. <\/p>\n<p>It might be just the hip.  At any rate, the thing is, is this gonna drag out and continue? Snerdley came in today and said, &#8220;You know what he ought to do? He ought to use Roe v. Wade. It\u2019s his body; he can do whatever he wants with it.  There\u2019s a problem. That only applies to women and abortion, Snerdley.  Get a hold of yourself.  Not even husbands can use their body and have a right to do with it as they wish. It only applies to women and abortion. <\/p>\n<p>I said, &#8220;Besides, the union has rules that they\u2019ve agreed to that they\u2019re not gonna take these drugs.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Alex Rodriguez.
