RUSH: The wink is apparently the signal, ladies and gentlemen, for the planted questioner or somebody. So they're circling the wagons out there. The Drive-Bys are getting a little distressed about this. I don't know how long it's going to last. Let's go back to this incident in 1999. Last century, Clinton, Inc., planted a question for her big Senate run announcement in 1999. Now, we don't have all the audio, but we've got the nut audio. Let me give you the setup. This was The News with Brian Williams on November 23, 1999. "We have a lot to tell you about tonight, beginning with what had become a whisper campaign of late, and it went like this: 'After what turned into a somewhat disastrous trip to the Middle East, and with polls showing she should not run, Hillary Rodham Clinton just might pull out of the race for Senate from New York.' Well, today the first lady responded to a planted question at a teachers union event, and made it clear she is in the race for the US Senate." Brian Williams reported -- in 1999, last century -- that the first lady, was responding to a "planted question." Here is the planted question. It's by the teachers union head in New York, Randi Weingarten, and they have this exchange.
WEINGARTEN: So, is it yes?
AUDIENCE: (laughing) Or is it no?
HILLARY: I believe that if we work together, we really can make a difference for the children and families of New York. So the answer is -- yes! I intend to run!
RUSH: It was a planted question. Andrea Mitchell reported this. "Brian, today's events were as carefully choreographed as the New York City Ballet. Under pressure to either get in or get out, Hillary Clinton finally makes it official by answering a prearranged question from a friendly union leader."
There's a pattern here, folks. So let's take a look at this. Fundraising abuses? "I don't know. I don't remember. My mind is Jell-O." Pardons? "Oh, I had nothing to do with the pardons!" The billing records? The Rose Law Firm billing records? "I don't have any idea! I didn't know anything, and when they showed up in the Map Room I was more surprised than anybody else." Cattle futures? "No, I thought everybody could turn a thousand dollars into a hundred thousand dollars. FBI files in the White House? No, I have no clue how little had happened, but if we work together, we can solve the issue." Travel office firings? "No, I don't know anything about that." Real estate shams on property they worked? "No, I don't know anything about that." Planted questions? "No, I didn't know anything about that." Monica Lewinsky? "No, I didn't know anything about that. That was the vast right-wing conspiracy. I didn't know anything about that."
She doesn't know anything about anything!
