RUSH: David, Gilbert, Arizona, hello and welcome to EIB Network.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hi, Rush. Thanks for taking my call today. I wanted to ask you what you thought would be the political fallout from the attack on Benghazi, what effect it would have on Hillary Clinton, her future run in politics.<\/p>\n

RUSH: As in if Hillary someday wanted to be president and then a future opponent tied her to the Benghazi attack <\/a>years from now, would it have a damaging effect on her?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Depends on with who. Among the Democrats, no. Folks, let me go out on a limb here, and I could be all wet, though I doubt it. I think all this talk of Hillary Clinton in 2016 or whenever is a pipe dream and wishful thinking. If Romney wins this election — there\u2019s some big ifs here — but if Romney wins this election and then follows through and does straighten this place out, she doesn\u2019t have a prayer. You talk about overrated? Would somebody explain to me just why Hillary Clinton exists in presidential talk? I\u2019ve explained this to you people. <\/p>\n

(interruption)<\/p>\n

No, no, no, no, no. Snerdley, you fall for too much. Snerdley just said, “‘Cause she\u2019s not Obama and she\u2019s pragmatic and she\u2019s…” No, no, no, no, no, no. Hillary Clinton is considered to be presidential timbre because it is thought that the Democrat Party owes her whatever she wants for saving her husband\u2019s rear end. Here\u2019s the story, folks. Herein is the answer to the question, “Why is Hillary Clinton even in all this presidential talk?” The story begins with a commercial break. I can\u2019t start and finish the story before the break, so let me take our obscene profit time-out here. I\u2019ll come back and I\u2019ll explain this right after we get back. Don\u2019t go anywhere.<\/line><\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: I think that all of this talk of Hillary is rooted in fear. For some reason there\u2019s still a fear of the Clintons. By the way, I jotted down some thoughts on that over the weekend. I was gonna use this in conjunction with a discussion of the unemployment numbers and the suggestion that we just accept the new norm.<\/a> Unemployment is 7.8, 8%. That\u2019s just how it is. That\u2019s as good as it\u2019s ever gonna get; we should learn to accept that.<\/p>\n

I think actually that this is because of Bill Clinton, to make an effort to tie that all together. But Hillary Clinton, folks? She puts her pants on one leg at a time just like all the other guys. There\u2019s no reason to be afraid of this woman. If you ask me, Hillary Clinton ought to be forced to resign. This Benghazi happens while she\u2019s secretary of state. All this unrest is at our embassy — at our embassy! She runs the embassies and the consulates.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m not trying to protect Obama here, but I want somebody to tell me: Where is this eminently qualified individual? Let\u2019s go back to the beginning to explain this. Hillary Clinton was a student at Wellesley or Yale or something. By the way, she is 65 right now. In 2016 she will be 69 seeking the presidency? But that\u2019s not what I was going to say. I just don\u2019t get it. But go back to Yale. Go back when Bill and Hillary met. So much of this — heh-heh-heh — is just inexplicable.<\/line><\/p>\n

I mean, you look at Bill — who, legend has it, can have anybody. Right there, it doesn\u2019t make any sense, but let\u2019s go further. What did Hillary do? This is from the standpoint, now, of America\u2019s feminists and from America\u2019s liberals. Hillary Clinton had, at that time, a reputation of trailblazer. Hillary, it was said, could do anything. She was almost a pre-Obama. The legend, the image was that she was so smart, so capable. She could write her ticket.<\/p>\n

She didn\u2019t need a man! She could be anything she wanted. But what did she do? She hitched her wagon to Bill Clinton. Okay, fine and dandy. People fall in love and they get married. And when she hitched her wagon to Bill Clinton, she did two things simultaneously. She, A, subordinated her own defined future and instead made his future hers. She followed him everywhere, and at every step tried to take over or take a measure of control or power.<\/p>\n

But what did she do? She gave up this life of endless possibility to move to Arkansas. “God! Arkansas! Waaaaalmart. Arkansas! God, she gave up so much.” And then when she got there, what happened? Bill disrespected her every day. Gennifer Flowers, Juanita Broadderick, you name it. He humiliated her in public, all while he\u2019s earning 25 G\u2019s a year as a governor and she\u2019s doing a hundred-some-odd grand at the Rose Law Firm. She\u2019s the breadwinner.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Clinton\u2019s running around enjoying his life while she is looking the other way and sticking with him, thereby prolonging his career — in ARKANSAS! Now, I have no problem with Arkansas. My mother was born there. These people in the Northeast say, “Arkansas? It\u2019s Deliverance! You might as well be in the sticks running moonshine.” That\u2019s what she gave up everything for. (Bill impression) “Well, Bill Clinton, good ol\u2019 boy,” and he goes down and lives the life that we all know.<\/p>\n

But she tags along. He gets elected governor, he gets elected president, and she makes his career possible by sticking with him. She\u2019s backing him up, forgiving him, permitting all of these discretions to take place with impunity. And I\u2019m telling you: Hillary Clinton exists as a viable Democrat candidate only because she\u2019s owed. She gave up a life she could have defined for herself and subordinated everything to Bill Clinton, and then suffered all of that humiliation and all of that embarrassment.<\/p>\n

Oh, yeah. Some bones were thrown her way.<\/p>\n

She made some money in the cattle markets. She ended up on the board at Walmart. She made some big money at the Rose Law Firm, got to dabble in real estate with Whitewater and pretend like she was a big guy. Then eventually Clinton gets elected president. That wouldn\u2019ta happened if it weren\u2019t for her. She could have railroaded his career and been done with him and he\u2019d-a never amounted to anything.<\/p>\n

She\u2019s the one that made the Clinton administration possible. She\u2019s the one! And, of course, they gave her health care. They gave her a chance to botch that, which she did. But they still gave her a chance to run it and have it named HillaryCare and all that. They gave her the bus tour. She ran the White House and did all this stuff. She was the power behind the throne because she could have ended Clinton\u2019s reign any time she wanted.<\/p>\n

She coulda walked out.<\/p>\n

She coulda taken Chelsea.<\/p>\n

She coulda blown the whistle on stuff we still don\u2019t know that has gone on.<\/p>\n

But she didn\u2019t do it. And as such, it isn\u2019t complicated: It\u2019s her turn now. The Democrat Party owes her. She actually was the first Obama: “Smartest woman in the world!” Remember that from the nineties? Hillary Clinton, smartest woman in the world? Nowhere near it! She\u2019s a total image, total prepackaged buzz, total spin. And now she\u2019s really owed \u2019cause look at what happened to her in 2008.<\/p>\n

Do you realize that was the payoff?<\/p>\n

Yes, 2008 was the payoff, folks.<\/p>\n

This was her moment.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It was a fait accompli, remember? She was going to be the nominee and she was going to be the president. Done deal. And then outta nowhere comes this skinny black guy out of Chicago, and everybody dumps her. They threw her away. They threw her overboard the first chance they got, for a fairytale! Her own husband called Barack Obama a “fairytale.” Her own husband said to Ted Kennedy (impression), “Ted, you know, a couple of years ago this guy\u2019d-a been fetching us our coffee.” Well, adult beverages for you, Ted.<\/p>\n

She didn\u2019t know what hit her!<\/p>\n

It was I, El Rushbo, who came to her rescue in those primaries with Operation Chaos. It was I and you in this audience who kept her campaign going; gave her a final chance at that nomination. They dumped her after promising her the nomination. After she did everything for that party, keeping Bill Clinton in power. She made the Clinton Global Initiative possible. She made all these things that the Democrats love and adore about Bill Clinton possible by permitting it. And then her chance came along, and what\u2019d they do?<\/p>\n

They threw her away like yesterday\u2019s newspaper.<\/p>\n

So of course they\u2019re gonna keep talk of Hillary for president alive because they owe her. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
