\n

RUSH: Pittsburgh, Wendy, I\u2019m glad you waited. Welcome to the EIB Network. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hi, Rush. It\u2019s nice to talk to you.<\/p>\n

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

CALLER: I\u2019m sorry to have to say this, but I just cringe when you yuk it up about Bill Clinton at the restaurant and about the crush on Hillary thing. It legitimizes them, and I just think about all the things that they have done over the years to people and the FBI files and Billy Dale and all the sexual harassment, and I just don\u2019t find them funny at all.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Oh, they are funny as hell.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I don\u2019t see it.<\/p>\n

RUSH: They\u2019re dangerous, there\u2019s no question.<\/p>\n

CALLER: They\u2019ve ruined people\u2019s lives, and then Bill goes and he used you to talk about cochlear implants and then how compassionate he is, when he doesn\u2019t care. He could give a rat\u2019s patooti about your cochlear implant. I mean, come on.<\/p>\n

RUSH: But you\u2019re missing the point of that.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I don\u2019t miss the point. I think it legitimizes them. It makes them human and real.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Oh, come on. For one thing, how in the world can Bill Clinton telling a gigantic lie like that and my pointing it out, humanize the guy? <\/p>\n

CALLER: (chuckles) Because people —<\/p>\n

RUSH: He didn\u2019t talk to me about cochlear implants.<\/p>\n

CALLER: No, no. Not on your show. He went on somebody else\u2019s show and then he gets to talk about how magnanimous he is about your cochlear implants. You know, it\u2019s like… I think he used you and when you yuk it up about them, it humanizes them, and it kind of, you know, takes the edge off of what they\u2019ve done to people in this country.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I think… Look, I understand your sensitivity to this. This is frankly why a lot of people are very concerned about Operation Chaos because they think Operation Chaos is oriented towards helping Mrs. Clinton go all the way, which is not the purpose here. But, look: What happened, happened. The guy was on the radio. I didn\u2019t put him on the radio. These other guys did. I found out about it; I wanted to comment on it. I didn\u2019t say I had a crush on Hillary; she did.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, you know —<\/p>\n

RUSH: If anything, these people are humanizing me to the left! You gotta look at it that way, too. Can you imagine how mad the left is at the Clintons for humanizing me?<\/p>\n

CALLER: I don\u2019t know that anything could humanize you to the left, Rush. I\u2019m sorry to say. But you should be glad about that — and I notice that my name wasn\u2019t one of the top ten that you like, but that\u2019s okay.<\/p>\n

RUSH: (laughs)<\/p>\n

CALLER: I don\u2019t like my name, either. (giggles)<\/p>\n

RUSH: Wendy? Wendy, I need to grab your shoulders and shake you here. You don\u2019t like anything today. You don\u2019t like your name?<\/p>\n

CALLER: No, I\u2019m just kidding, Rush. When you talk about Bill Clinton and you yukking it up and him with the date, you know, I go back and I think about, you know, what\u2019s her name Willey and Broaddrick and Paula Jones. It\u2019s not funny; it just isn\u2019t funny to me. They\u2019re not funny people.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Can I tell you the thing that most troubles me about telling the story about Clinton hitting on my date?<\/p>\n

CALLER: All right, what?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, if you take a look at the women that Bill Clinton has found attractive over the years —<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah?<\/p>\n

RUSH: — what opinion must people have of the woman I was with? You know, Clinton\u2019s taste in women is not much above trailer park. <\/p>\n

CALLER: (giggling) All right. You\u2019ve got me laughing now.<\/p>\n

RUSH: So the thing that worries me more about this story… If James Carville can say it, I can say it. The thing that worries me more about this is what people are going to think of this woman I was with, when they compare the women that Clinton has been interested in over the years. It could be very insulting to her, if you get my point.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, see, there you go again. We\u2019re yukking it up about this Bill Clinton.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Wendy, lighten up!<\/p>\n

CALLER: (laughter) I tell you, I just don\u2019t find it funny. I don\u2019t find what they do funny.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Wendy? Wendy, it happened. It happened in the restaurant. What am I supposed to do, come here with the dukes up?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well…<\/p>\n

RUSH: The thing happened.<\/p>\n

CALLER: All right. I accept that. I\u2019m just giving you my opinion.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well…<\/p>\n

CALLER: That doesn\u2019t mean I don\u2019t like you. I do.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, I appreciate that. I really do. You sound a little wifey at times.<\/p>\n

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

RUSH: I appreciate that. I\u2019m glad you called.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Okay, bye-bye.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Thanks very much. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: This is Marta in Gadsden, Alabama. Hi and welcome to the EIB Network.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hi, Rush!<\/p>\n

RUSH: Hi. How are you?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Very well. I\u2019m nervous, so I hope it doesn\u2019t show. (giggles)<\/p>\n

RUSH: It doesn\u2019t show.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I just wanted to call and say I agree with your earlier caller. I\u2019m sick of hearing about Bill Clinton hitting on your date, because I\u2019m sure that you know very well how to take care of your date. And we know that he hits on anything that\u2019s within viewing range. That\u2019s just Bill Clinton.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah?<\/p>\n

CALLER: And just — you know, I am tired of hearing about it. (laughter) Because I don\u2019t see what the point is of over and over and over again. Could you enlighten me on that?<\/p>\n

RUSH: ‘Cause I think it\u2019s a funny story and it happened to me and it was the first time I had ever met this guy!<\/p>\n

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

RUSH: And I think it confirmed everything we knew about the guy.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, that\u2019s true.<\/p>\n

RUSH: From the —<\/p>\n

CALLER: That\u2019s true.<\/p>\n

RUSH: He had a wingman to distract me. Now he\u2019s lying about it. It fits the mold.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, we know that Bubba does that all the time. You\u2019re right. That\u2019s nothing new, but we\u2019ve heard that a long time ago, and I just —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Oh, jeez.<\/p>\n

CALLER: — gets kind of old hearing that. I kind of agree with the other lady that it just — in a way it seems like you\u2019re insecure or something. I know that\u2019s not the case —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Oh, come on, now! Wait a minute, Marta. There\u2019s something going on out here. I am insecure? What does that mean?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, I don\u2019t know. That\u2019s what I don\u2019t understand. It comes across that way.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Tell me what that means, that I am insecure.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, you keep saying, ‘He\u2019s hitting on my date, hitting on my date.\u2019<\/p>\n

RUSH: Oh, come on! That\u2019s not insecure. I\u2019ll tell you, it\u2019s a funny story, for crying out loud. It\u2019s going to be — if I ever write another book, it\u2019s going to be big in there.<\/p>\n

CALLER: (giggles) Okay, Rush. (giggles)<\/p>\n

RUSH: You know what the real story is? You know what you don\u2019t like?<\/p>\n

CALLER: No, what do I not like? You\u2019re the one that\u2019s insecure. I don\u2019t like you don\u2019t like hearing me, El Rushbo, use the term ‘my date.\u2019<\/p>\n

CALLER: (laughter)<\/p>\n

RUSH: That\u2019s what —<\/p>\n

CALLER: Maybe that\u2019s it! Maybe you\u2019re right.<\/p>\n

RUSH: See?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Maybe I\u2019m jealous.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Maybe you\u2019re a little jealous here.<\/p>\n

CALLER: (laughter) No, I know that you\u2019re perfectly capable of taking care of your date. That\u2019s not it. It\u2019s just I hate to hear Bubba\u2019s name even mentioned.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well…<\/p>\n

CALLER: I\u2019m sure he was jealous!<\/p>\n

RUSH: Let me tell you what\u2019s out of proportion about this.<\/p>\n

CALLER: What?<\/p>\n

RUSH: From my standpoint.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Okay.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Only today — and you are the second. The first was Wendy in Pittsburgh.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Uh-huh.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Here you come from Gadsden, Alabama, and both of you are very intelligent women, and you thought — I don\u2019t know if she said she was nervous, but you did, and you\u2019re not nervous at all because you are fired up. You\u2019re wired.<\/p>\n

CALLER: (giggling)<\/p>\n

RUSH: Now, throughout Operation Chaos since we started this in March, I have been advocating people to vote for Hillary Clinton.<\/p>\n

CALLER: True.<\/p>\n

RUSH: And I haven\u2019t gotten anywhere near the complaints about that that I have received from you two today, talking about this dinner I had where Clinton hit on my date. And all of a sudden now I mention the Clintons here in the context of this dinner story, and all hell breaks loose! Yet I can mention Hillary Clinton. ‘Vote for Hillary Clinton!\u2019 for three months here, and you don\u2019t call me and say, ‘I\u2019m sick and tired of hearing about the Clintons. Would you shut up? I don\u2019t like hearing about it.\u2019 So there\u2019s gotta be a boy-girl thing going on here somewhere.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, I think the… Operation Chaos, I think it\u2019s brilliant.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well —<\/p>\n

CALLER: I think it\u2019s wonderful what you\u2019ve done with Hillary — and I\u2019ll tell you another thing. I think Hillary is the one with the crush on you.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, I didn\u2019t want to be that presumptive. I hope it\u2019s… I\u2019m afraid you\u2019re right.<\/p>\n

CALLER: (laughing) I do believe that. I do believe that could definitely happen. I mean, she\u2019s probably so deprived of male companionship, really from anybody. What is it you call it, her lockbox? (laughing)<\/p>\n

RUSH: Testicle lockbox.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I guess you know that kind of nerve-wracking and we know she never gets any attention from Bubba. So she\u2019s probably starved!<\/p>\n

RUSH: Marta? Marta? Marta? I gotta hang up. I\u2019m sick and tired of you talking about Hillary.<\/p>\n

CALLER: (laughing) Okay. (laughing)<\/p>\n

RUSH: (false rage) I don\u2019t want to hear it. I hate these people! <\/p>\n

CALLER: (laughing) Okay.<\/p>\n

RUSH: These people are polluting our country, and I don\u2019t want to hear about the Clintons anymore.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Touche. (laughing) Touche.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Okay, thank you, Rush. Love you. Bye-bye.<\/p>\n
