RUSH: Chelsea Clinton had her media debut last night on NBC with Brian Williams — and, my friends, it isn\u2019t pretty. I have just one review, but I\u2019m telling you she is being ripped across, over the coals. (interruption) Well, H.R. is telling me over the IFB that he was surprised that Chelsea\u2019s being ripped. I am not surprised that she\u2019s being ripped because it\u2019s so obvious that you can\u2019t hide it. But they are missing the point here. They are reviewing her performance with the entirely wrong prism. Let me give you an example. Hank Stuever (I don\u2019t know how he pronounces it. It\u2019s S-t-u-e-v-e-r, might be Stuever, could be Stuever, whatever it is) in the Washington Post.<\/p>\n
“Either we\u2019re spoiled by TV\u2019s unlimited population of giant personalities or this woman is one of the most boring people of her era.” Washington Post. And that\u2019s just one. They\u2019re all like that. Every Drive-By review of Chelsea Clinton is that bad. It takes no prisoners whatsoever. Now, let\u2019s be fair here. Harry Reid isn\u2019t the most entertaining guy in the world, either. Harry Reid epitomizes boring, dull, dryball, you name it. Ditto… you want me to give you others names out there? You pick \u2019em. But this is where Mr. Stuever, Stuever, Stuever misses it — and everybody else reviewing this misses it. Chelsea Clinton\u2019s career path has nothing to do with broadcast journalism. She is a statist-in-training. What we have in Chelsea Clinton is a woman who has been sheltered from the media by parents who wanted to protect her. I understand that. They succeeded.<\/p>\n
Bill said (impression), “Lay off my daughter. I don\u2019t want to see any coverage about Chelsea. I don\u2019t want to see it! I — I — I don\u2019t want you to ask her any questions; I don\u2019t want her covered. She grants no interviews. You. Stay. Away,” and they did. So, as such, nobody knows her. Now she\u2019s 31 years old. She is a statist-in-training. She\u2019s working on her 14th college degree. It\u2019s time to get serious about life now. Her future as a statist will require being good on TV — learning how to become likable and what have you — and so that\u2019s not what this is. This is not about Chelsea Clinton learning how to do news. And, remember, there isn\u2019t news in the news anymore. There\u2019s no news. That\u2019s just that\u2019s not why people turn on the TV. There\u2019s no news. She is dutifully learning the inner workings of television in order to learn how to manipulate it later. That\u2019s all this is. Nobody starts at the top like this unless they\u2019re the daughter of an ex-president who can call in some chits. Nobody starts at the top like this.<\/p>\n
Here, couple sound bites. First November 14th, we\u2019ll go back, Brian Williams. He was on Piers Morgan Tonight on CNN. They were talking about Chelsea Clinton being hired by NBC, and Piers Morgan said, “I think she\u2019ll be terrific.” Why would he think that? He couldn\u2019t possibly know she\u2019d be terrific. Piers Morgan: “I think she\u2019d be terrific.” How does he know? It\u2019s an inspired appointment,” said Piers Morgan. “But there will be journalistic critics who say this is just further evidence of news networks dumbing down. It\u2019s the celebrification, if you like, of news, of conventional news journalism. What would you say to that?”<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yep, yep, yep. Okay, so adding insult to injury now, Tim Russert posthumously compared to Chelsea Clinton by Brian Williams at NBC. So let\u2019s go. Last night, NBC\u2019s “Rock Center,” Brian Williams speaking with correspondent statist-in-training Chelsea Clinton about how she became a reporter for NBC. Williams: “So tell us how you got from your life as it was, say yesterday, to a life now with us and doing this.” Get this, now. So here\u2019s Chelsea, who\u2019s there because her dad called in a couple chits, or her mom, who knows, she\u2019s there because a phone call was made. Brian Williams, (imitating Williams) “Chelsea, what a story, what an achievement, so many people could learn so much. How did you go from being totally obscure to being almost as big as I am on this show?” And here\u2019s what Chelsea said.<\/p>\n
CHELSEA: For most of my life I did deliberately lead a private life, and inadvertently led a public life. I\u2019ve always been incredibly proud of both of my parents, and proud of the work I had done privately. As a person and professionally and academically, my grandmother, who passed away at the beginning of November, had a core adage in her life, that life is not about what happens to you but about what you do with what happens to you, and she recently had been cajoling me and challenging me to do more with my life, to lead more of a purposefully public life, that being Chelsea Clinton had happened to me and that I had a responsibility to do something with that asset and opportunity, and telling stories through making a difference, I believe, will be one way to manifest that and I hope to make her proud.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Okay. So, in her own words, that\u2019s how Chelsea got from her life as it was yesterday to last night with Brian Williams on “Rock Center.” Well, you can be your own judge as to what you think she sounds like. A Washington Post guy said, (paraphrasing) “How is it possible to be so boring? How is it possible to have so little, if any, none, zilt, zero, nada, charisma?” (interruption) Are you kidding me? Brian and Dawn don\u2019t know what a “chit” is? You never heard of calling in a chit? You gotta be kidding me. Two members of my staff were lost when I said Bill Clinton called in a couple chits. What did you think I said, something other than chit? Never heard the word chit? Well, what would be a substitute word for it? (interruption) No, no, no, Clinton didn\u2019t call a couple chicks. A chit is a debt, gambling debt, a marker, an IOU, protection money, it could be any number of things. Does that help? They\u2019re still lost in there. <\/p>\n
BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n
RUSH: You ever notice Tim Russert is the only news figure that the media can cite as being somewhat objective? Whenever the news media wants to tell us about somebody in their ranks that calls \u2019em down the middle, it\u2019s always Tim Russert. Never anybody else. You notice that? Notice that? So you add that with the Sullivan Group and their auditing of my opinion, how could I not go up? I mean gem after gem after gem the past three weeks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
