\"Listen<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: Boy, folks, let me tell you, when Mrs. Clinton, yoga and all, went to the United Nations last week for that ill-timed, ill-fated Pretty in Pink 2 type press conference, boy, did I nail it. And I don\u2019t mind saying so. I spent a lot of time, \u2019cause I know a lot of people in the audience today might not have been in this audience, simple math, dates of birth and all that, might not have been old enough or even listening back in 1994 when Hillary did the Pretty in Pink.<\/p>\n

The thing she did at the United Nations was a repeat, an attempt to replay the way the Clintons got themselves out of jams back in the 1990s. And I, El Rushbo, focused on that, because I was the cause of the Pretty in Pink press conference. And, lo and behold, none other than the New York Times<\/a> has so written. A story that ran on March the 14th: “A Young Manager for Clinton Juggles Data and Old Baggage.”<\/p>\n

<\/a>Get this, now. This is the New York Times. “On MSNBC last week, 70-year-old James Carville denounced the coverage of his old friend Hillary Rodham Clinton\u00c2\u2019s use of a personal e-mail account at the State Department, ticking off two decades\u00c2\u2019 worth of scandals surrounding the Clintons that he attributed to an irresponsible news media. Mr. Carville complained to the host, Andrea Mitchell, that he had ‘lived through this.\u2019<\/p>\n

“‘Do you remember Whitewater?\u2019 he asked. ‘Do you remember Filegate? You remember Travelgate? You remember Pardongate? You remember Benghazi?'” (imitating Carville) “And where\u2019s my gumbo?” <\/p>\n

“Meanwhile, far from the television lights, Robby Mook, the 35-year-old who is likely to manage Mrs. Clinton\u00c2\u2019s 2016 presidential campaign, kept his head down and worked the phones from his standing desk to build a field operation in Iowa, set up technology to collect data to target voters and hire a campaign staff in a handful of key states.”<\/p>\n

Now, all of this happened, dare I say it, after I pointed out Mrs. Clinton and her team seemed to me to be stuck in the nineties. And let me give you some pull quotes from the New York Times story.<\/p>\n

“Ultimately, the strategy they settled on — having Mrs. Clinton publicly address the controversy on Tuesday — harked back to the approach used in 1994, when Mrs. Clinton, wearing a blush-colored sweater set, held a lengthy news conference to address the Whitewater inquiry and a 1970s commodities trade in Arkansas. Comparisons quickly erupted. ‘Mrs. Clinton is stuck in the \u00c2\u201990s,\u2019 declared the conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh. <\/p>\n

“The next day, the operation took its first coordinated step toward wrangling the Clintons\u00c2\u2019 old friends and former aides, like Mr. Carville. Mrs. Clinton\u00c2\u2019s 31-year-old press secretary, Nick Merrill, hosted a conference call with about 25 far-flung surrogates –” Anyway, the point of the story is, after I pointed out — now, they don\u2019t actually say this, but the timeline gives it away. After I pointed out that Mrs. Clinton seemed to want to replay the nineties and seemed to be stuck in the nineties, the New York Times does a story the next day claiming because of that, they are moving younger, they are trying to Millennialize, as it were, and modernize. <\/line><\/p>\n

It just last week we were talking about how Hillary\u2019s been hiring all of these old retreads from their former lives in the White House. Nobody young, no new blood, no new ideas, and Carville — and he\u2019s still out there, by the way, and you want to hear why they\u2019re making the change? Did you happen to see — you probably did. I don\u2019t know anybody that watches it anymore. Did you see This Week yesterday on… (interruption) Yeah, it\u2019s still on. Here\u2019s the thing, though. The host of that show is George Stephanopoulos. <\/p>\n

Now, back in the nineties, George Stephanopoulos was one of the members of the war room. He was partnered with James Carville and they sat in what was called the war room. The purpose of the war room was to destroy anybody who came up with any criticism that might stick against the Clintons, and they made a documentary about it. It was part of their campaign in 1992, and they took it with them to the White House, and it was called the war room. <\/p>\n

Well, now, one of the members of the war room is a journalist over at ABC News. And he was interviewing the other member of the war room, James Carville, yesterday. This speaks for itself. George Stephanopoulos talking to former war room buddy James Carville said, “What has the Clinton camp taken away –” now, let me preface this by pointing out, reminding you again just how scared I believe the Democrat Party is. <\/p>\n

Her book tour was an absolute bomb. This thing, this United Nations press conference did not happen in a vacuum. Her book tour was an abject bomb. Nobody showed up. She makes no connection with people. Her book sales were an absolute bomb. There is none of the accompanying excitement about who everybody seems to think on the Democrat side\u2019s the next president. People like that draw crowds. People like that create enthusiasm across all demographics. Mrs. Clinton didn\u2019t draw a crowd. Nobody bought her book. She shows up at this UN press conference conducting herself like it\u2019s 20 years ago, and they\u2019re worried. <\/p>\n

So they send Carville out. Now, listen to this answer. Question from George Stephanopoulos, former war room member. I find the irony — here\u2019s a former war room member who worked with Carville to destroy Clinton enemies is now on ABC asking his former war room buddy what has the Clinton camp taken away from all this, meaning the UN flub and that bad press conference and all that.<\/p>\n

CARVILLE: What this is, is the latest in a continuation. And if you take it all and you put it together and you subtract 3.1415 from pi, you\u2019re left with not very much. And that\u2019s what — at the end of the day, so the Republicans can\u2019t pass a budget. All right, we\u2019ve got another investigation, just like we had the Whitewater, just like you go through the Filegate, you go through Travelgate, you go through seven or eight different Congressional committees and you wonder why the public is not following this? Because they know what it is.<\/p>\n
