RUSH: We had a knock-down, drag-out at my house yesterday over this story in the New York Times about the letter story on Hillary. I\u2019m going to explain what the knock-down, drag-out was about and why, because it was classic. These are letters that Hillary Clinton wrote to some guy between whatever the year they were, 1965 and 1969, when she was 18. Apparently the press heard about these letters, they called this guy, he\u2019s a teacher out in San Diego, former friend of hers in Illinois, and he just gave them the letters. This just doesn\u2019t happen by accident. This is all designed. After all of Hillary\u2019s years in public life, why now, and why after the cleavage controversy, why now does this story appear? If you read the letters — and you have to understand the New York Times when you read these letters, and you have to understand their agenda, you have to understand what they\u2019re trying to persuade people of. <\/p>\n

The thrust of the story is how she had to break away from her strict, mean, conservative dad. Her family was just too conservative and she had to break away, had to get away. In fact, she wanted to go to Africa when she was a young lady, but she didn\u2019t go because she was afraid of what her dad would say. She was afraid of her dad\u2019s reaction. There\u2019s nothing revelatory in these letters. There\u2019s nothing scandalous about it, but there\u2019s a reason and a purpose why that story — I mean how does this show up on the front page of the New York Times? There\u2019s nothing newsworthy about it. <\/p>\n

She\u2019s got a likability problem, and this story was designed to make her appear thoughtful, educated, brilliant, smart, at age 18, with her own future and her own life, a loving, thoughtful, very serious person. There\u2019s so much behind this. We got into arguments at my place yesterday with people, ‘No, no, no, this is a very, very, very heartwarming story.\u2019 It was fascinating to listen to people who are the targets of the New York Times being totally affected by it. It was fascinating for me to watch this. Let\u2019s see. Speaking of the cleavage story, there wasn\u2019t any cleavage. She shows up with a little plunging neck line on the floor of the Senate. This is after the Breck Girl and everybody starts talking about the fact that he\u2019s more of a woman than she is. How demeaning is this, your husband has to go out on Good Morning America to defend the fact that you\u2019re a woman and doesn\u2019t quite pull it off. (Laughing.) So here comes the cleavage, and then when the cleavage happens, they cry victim; they cry how inappropriate; how horrible; why is the Washington Post doing this? It was so outraged, Ann Lewis sent out a fundraising letter about it, portraying Hillary as the victim. <\/p>\n

I\u2019ll tell you, if you really want to outrage Hillary, forget these cleavage stories, just revive that picture that showed up in the LA Times back in the nineties with Clinton and Hillary dancing to no music on a Caribbean beach in their swimwear. You remember that? They wanted us to see that. The picture appeared in the Los Angeles Times. Folks, it was not pretty, and this was two weeks before the Lewinsky story was going to break. This was early 1998, and all of a sudden at the White House press conference that day, McCurry, the White House spokesman, opens up deriding the LA Times for daring to publish the picture. Everybody in the press said, ‘What picture? We haven\u2019t seen the picture.\u2019 So that made sure the picture showed up everywhere. We later learned that they were dancing on the beach where there was no music. The picture was supposedly snapped by paparazzi snooping around unbeknownst to the Clintons. It was all BS. The Secret Service, yeah, whatever. Sabotaging the Clintons, making them victims, which is Hillary\u2019s MO. Something like this happens turns her into a victim and then go raise money off of it. Hilarious. <\/p>\n

The Democrats are hyperventilating over all of this. Never has so much been said about so little. The media pretends not to want to discuss Hillary\u2019s cleavage in the process of endlessly talking about it. We have a montage here. We have Howard Kurtz; we have Wolf Blitzer; we have got Mika Brezezinski; we\u2019ve got Amy Argetsinger of the Washington Post; we\u2019ve got Bill Weir. We\u2019ve got everybody that is anybody in the Drive-By Media. Listen to this.<\/p>\n

BLITZER: Hillary Clinton\u2019s cleavage, get this — her cleavage. <\/p>\n

KURTZ: Debating Hillary\u2019s cleavage. <\/p>\n

TAPPER: (cash register) Cash for cleavage. <\/p>\n

BREZINSKI: The cleavage controversy, calling Hillary, quote, a tempest in a B cup. <\/p>\n

ARGETSINGER: It wasn\u2019t very much cleavage, either. It was not that much at all, was it? <\/p>\n

BREZINSKI: No, it wasn\u2019t. <\/p>\n

WEIR: Senatorial cleavage <\/p>\n

WRIGHT: Hillary Clinton\u2019s cleavage. <\/p>\n

GERGEN: Here comes that cleavage story. <\/p>\n

STEPHANOPOULOS: I\u2019m not going to that cleavage story. <\/p>\n

ROBINSON: The cleavage. <\/p>\n

ROBACH: Cleavage controversy, I don\u2019t even see much there. That looks like a shadow. <\/p>\n

MITCHELL: This was so marginal. This was like microscopic.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Exactly right. Folks, I have known cleavages. As a callow and shallow youth, I have ogled cleavages. I will admit this. Yes, it\u2019s true. I\u2019ve even been distracted by cleavages. But let me tell you, this was no cleavage! Washington Post fashion columnist wants to enhance Hillary\u2019s femininity, refers to her cleavage in this case, the C-word. Hillary team seizes on the cleavage and uses it as a fundraiser. Hillary gets two benefits; she gets the femininity benefit and the victim benefit at the same time. Actually three, fundraising; you could say that cleavage leads to a war chest. I don\u2019t believe anything that happens with these people is coincidence, just don\u2019t believe it. Not with Clinton, Inc. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: We go to Missy in Lafayette, Louisiana. Hi, thanks for calling.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Thanks so much for having me, Rush. Cajun dittos to you.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Thank you very much.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Rush, I think you hit the nail on the head with the whole Hillary thing. This is her way to further distinguish herself from Obama and Edwards. It gives her some security back in New York for those who are still remembering and feeling the impact of the assault on our country, and it moves her more central than the kook fringe. She\u2019s positioning herself for the presidential run next fall, absolutely.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, I did advance this theorem myself. You are calling to echo it. If it\u2019s true, if we\u2019re right about this, and we have to admit here we are just speculating. But if we\u2019re right about this, do you understand what it means? It means that somebody at Clinton, Inc. — don\u2019t think the Drive-Bys came up with this all on their own. This is just too coincidental. There are no coincidences with the Clintons. So if this swerve in Drive-By coverage in the war in Iraq is indeed designed to aid Hillary, then look how fast they turn on a dime, look at it. Of course we hit a puff piece on the front page of the New York Times, it\u2019s not worth discussing in any great detail, other than to discuss the placement, how get there, why have we not heard about this before. It\u2019s the strangest damn story. But it\u2019s designed to appeal to the average New York Times reader and present a picture of Hillary that is not true. Likable. They\u2019re trying to burnish an image for her here: smart, deeply concerned, deeply evolved, and she had a conservative father that drove her out of the house, drove her to Wellesley, drove her to the East Coast, drove her to the arms of Bill Clinton and the liberals. She wanted to go to Africa. What young kid doesn\u2019t want to go to Africa? Big deal. She didn\u2019t go to Africa, because she\u2019s afraid what her dad would say and what kind of conversations they would have. All of these conservatives are mean-spirited SOBs. This is not an accident either. And, by the way, if you\u2019re this guy, she\u2019s never spoken to this guy since they last wrote the letters in 1969. She\u2019s not spoken to him in 38 years. <\/p>\n

The New York Times finds out about these letters because Gail Sheehy found out about them for a book that she wrote on Hillary, the New York Times, said, oh, let\u2019s call the guy. Guy says, (paraphrasing) ‘Hi, New York Times. Sure I\u2019ll give you the letters.\u2019 Turns \u2019em over without calling Hillary first. The story is that Hillary is, ‘Oh, he\u2019s still got those? I\u2019d love to see them, could you make copies, sir, and send them back to me?\u2019 These letters, they\u2019re not intimate. It was not boyfriend-girlfriend. It was just two young college kids writing together. They grew up in the same place in Illinois, Park Ridge I think. It makes no sense, people don\u2019t do this, write a bunch of letters over four or five years and never speak to each other again, even by letter or phone? It shows up in the New York Times now after all these years of Hillary being in public life? <\/p>\n

Where I\u2019m leading with all this, if indeed the Drive-Bys have done a 180 here in order to help Hillary because Obama\u2019s coming on too strong, oh, man, I mean, that\u2019s brazen. Not surprising, just brazen. It\u2019s going to be interesting to see what happens the rest of the day, tonight, tomorrow, and what happens with the rest of the Democrats on this. We can\u2019t leave out this New York Times column today. We talked about that in the first hour. Two leftists from the Brookings Institution said, (paraphrasing) ‘Hey, it is going great. We can\u2019t get out of there. It would be foolish to get out of there. What every American must know is this is working and we should stay, at least to the end of 2008.\u2019 <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
