RUSH: The Democrats are flooding the zone with Christmas ads, ladies and gentlemen. Up first, Michelle Obama.<\/p>\n

MICHELLE OBAMA: We would like to take a moment to thank you and your family for the warmth and friendship that you have shown ours, for sharing your hospitality and your stories. <\/p>\n

BARACK OBAMA: In this holiday season, we\u2019re reminded that the things that unite us as a people are more powerful and enduring than anything that sets us apart, and we all have a stake in each other, in something larger than ourselves. So, from our family to yours, I\u2019m Barack Obama, and I approve this message. <\/p>\n

MALIA OBAMA: Merry Christmas. <\/p>\n

SASHA OBAMA: Happy holidays.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Those are the two Obama crumbcrunchers, along with Obama\u2019s wife, who led it off. Hillary\u2019s ad features her giving handouts: universal this, comprehensive that, mandated other things — and finally she finds a present that she lost.<\/p>\n

<\/a>HILLARY: Where did I put universal pre-K? Oh! Ok. Ah, there it is! <\/p>\n

RUSH: I don\u2019t know. That\u2019s her Christmas ad. Now, a lot of these people are trying to make humorous ads, like Rudy did a parody on the Huckster\u2019s ad, sitting there talking to ‘Sandy\u2019 Claus. But Hillary\u2019s not funny. It is what it is. Here is the Breck Girl.<\/p>\n

THE BRECK GIRL: One out of every four homeless people on our streets is a veteran. Thirty-seven million Americans live in poverty. Who speaks for them? We do. This is the season of miracles, of faith and love. So, let us promise together: You will never be forgotten again. We see you, we hear you, and we will speak for you. In America, the chance to build a better life is a promise made to each of us — and the obligation to keep it rests with us all. I\u2019m John Edwards, and I approved this message.<\/p>\n

RUSH: So that\u2019s the Merry Christmas, soup line America ad from the Breck Girl. Jeffrey Toobin, the legal analyst over at the Clinton News Network, was on with Anderson Cooper ‘180\u2019 last night, also with New Hampshire Institute of Politics\u2019 Jennifer Donahue, and Anderson Cooper says to Toobin — the LEGAL reporter! — ‘Are these ads effective?\u2019<\/p>\n

TOOBIN: Those ads are so revolting I can\u2019t even stand it. <\/p>\n

COOPER: (laughing) <\/p>\n

DONAHUE: (laughing) <\/p>\n

TOOBIN: Please, do you think any of those candidates care whether you have a merry Christmas or not? No! They don\u2019t care. They want your vote. That\u2019s why those ads are on the air. This is a new low. <\/p>\n

DONOHUE: Ohhhhh come on! Are you so low? <\/p>\n

TOOBIN: They\u2019re a bunch of phony baloneys. What about an ad that says, ‘I won\u2019t raise your taxes,\u2019 or, ‘Huckabee\u2019s a bum,\u2019 or ‘Huckabee\u2019s great.\u2019 <\/p>\n

DONAHUE: (laughing) <\/p>\n

TOOBIN: This is what politics is. It\u2019s not totally phoniness about Christmas. It\u2019s bad enough that Christmas has been commercialized; now it\u2019s being politicized as well. <\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay, Jeffrey. Well, maybe you should have been watching the CBS Evening News with the perky one Katie Couric, because she is asking the candidates about infidelity. Here\u2019s what she said to Mrs. Clinton, who has some experience with this. Couric said, ‘Harry Truman once said, ‘A man not honorable in his marital relations is not usually honorable in any other.\u2019 Some voters say they don\u2019t feel comfortable supporting someone who\u2019s not remained faithful to his or her spouse. Can you understand or appreciate their point of view?\u2019<\/p>\n

HILLARY: Well, I can certainly, um, understand why some people would feel that way, and — <\/p>\n

RUSH: Mmm-hmm.<\/p>\n

HILLARY: — and that is their perfect right to do so. <\/p>\n

RUSH: Mmm-hmm.<\/p>\n

HILLARY: But I think — that would be a tough standard for most of, um, American history to be able to meet, when we look at people who have made a big difference in our country. I think there\u2019s more to someone\u2019s honor and integrity, and to their public service. I think sometimes we confuse the private and the public in ways that are not necessarily, uh, useful. So, of course, it\u2019s a deeply personal matter that I take personally. <\/p>\n

RUSH: Not too personally!<\/p>\n

HILLARY: But I think on the public stage there are a number of people who have, uh, represented our country, led our country, um, accomplished great achievements on behalf of our country who might have some, uh, challenges in their personal life, but have made a great contribution. <\/p>\n

RUSH: What else is she going to say? What is she going to say, ‘Absolutely, Katie! I don\u2019t think anybody who\u2019s run around on anybody could be trusted to do anything.\u2019 Mrs. Clinton, maybe there could have been a better question: ‘Do you have any regrets believing your husband when he lied to you about the blue dress, the stained dress, and the vast right-wing conspiracy? If you\u2019re going to believe your husband when he lies to you, are you going to believe Kim Jong Il when he lies to you?\u2019 There are any number of ways to go about this, but the way Katie asked the question. What else she going to say? Can she say, ‘Have you ever heard of JFK, Katie?\u2019 (interruption) Well, JFK had a very, very tough personal challenge there. Bill Clinton had many, many, many personal challenges in his private life. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
