BEGIN TRANSCRIPT:
RUSH: A lot of people thought that Hillary Clinton would not weigh in on the Cheney story because she had delayed for 30 hours the releasing of the Vince Foster suicide note. The people said, "Ah, she's not going to say, because if she joins the fray here, why, she's got her own little thing to explain." Wrong-o, folks. The mainstream media is not going to hold Hillary Clinton accountable. Hillary Clinton did weigh in on this yesterday, and nobody -- nobody -- is talking about Hillary Clinton's past problems with secrecy, Travel Office firings, FBI files that were held in the White House -- no doubt to try and blackmail people with. Five hundred of them were Republicans. This is a little bit of a bite here at a press conference on Capitol Hill, Senator Hillary Clinton yesterday.
SENATOR CLINTON: The refusal of this administration to level with the American people on matters large and small is...very disturbing.
RUSH: All right. Well, we are not the mainstream media, so I'll tell you what we're going to do. We're going to go back to 2001. Hillary Rodham Clinton, "leveling with the American people" on the actions of her brother, Hugh Rodham. Hugh Rodham was Hillary's lawyer brother, had to return $400,000 in fees that he received for lobbying for a presidential pardon and a prison commutation for two felons. We put together, February 22nd, 2001, a montage of Hillary Clinton speaking to the press about her brother, Hugh.
THEN-FIRST LADY CLINTON: You know, it came out as a surprise to, uhh, me. Uhh, I didn't know about it, and -- I didn't know about it. I don't know anything, um. I did not know. I did not know. I knew nothing about that, and, uhh, I had no knowledge. But, uh, I didn't know anything. I was heartbroken and -- and shocked by it, and it was a surprise. (Cackling.) I don't know. I wish I knew. You know, I don't -- I don't have any -- any memory at all of -- I knew nothing. Uhhh, I knew nothing. I had no knowledge of that. You know, I never knew. I didn't -- I knew nothing -- I don't know any facts -- I know nothing about -- I -- I don't know anything -- I did not know about it. You know, I have no idea. Um, you know, I -- I don't have any information. I don't know anything. But I only can tell you, uh, what I know.
RUSH: Which is nothing. She never knew anything. She had a grand jury testimony, which she didn't recall. She didn't remember. She didn't know anything. She never has known. She didn't know what happened to the Rose Law Firm billing records it. It took two years for those to show up in the White House -- strangely enough, right after the statute of limitations on that case had expired! We didn't repeat one little phrase that you heard her say. She said all of that at a press conference about her brother, Hugh, having to return 400 grand for questionable activities. We can go back April 22, 2004. Remember the "Pretty in Pink" press conference in the White House, where she was sitting in a chair underneath a portrait of Abraham Lincoln, and she was seated in the exact position in her chair as was Lincoln? This was after I had appeared on Nightline questioning the health care plan that she and her husband had put forth because these people are known liars. "We've got to look at what's in this. We can't trust them," and it was shortly after -- two days later, maybe the next day, I forget -- the Pretty in Pink press conference, and one of the things that was discussed was Whitewater; another was cattle futures; another was Vince Foster's death. Here's a montage of Hillary, uh, what does she say, "leveling with the American people"?
THEN-FIRST LADY CLINTON: I have absolutely no memory of having done anything on that case. Now, with respect to Mr. Cunningham, I knew nothing about that, and I, uh, had no knowledge that he was involved, but, uh, I didn't know about his involvement at all. It was not an area that I practiced in. It was not an area that I really know anything, to speak of, about. I can tell you what I know, which is that I did not know that Vince had any of the documents related to our personal business in his office until after his death.
RUSH: Yeah, well, you knew about the suicide note but you kept that from being released 30 hours 'til after the convention so that you wouldn't have to deal with that or answer any questions. So here's a woman that comes out telling everybody "this administration refuses to level with the American people on matters large and small." She has no track record of leveling with people, folks, on which she can stand, and Dingy Harry? Dingy Harry spoke up. Cut seven, real quick: Dingy Harry this morning after meeting with the president.
SENATOR REID: I believe the vice president should hold a press conference, talk about the incident in Texas and the other things that he hasn't visited the press about since his last press conference in 2002.
RUSH: See, Dingy Harry, keep your mouth shut. Your buds in the press are taking care of this for you. You could look good, just shut up! No, he had to go out there and get in on this. Well, from August 19th, 2005: "Senate Democrat leader Dingy Harry of Nevada suffered a brief mini-stroke on Tuesday. Doctors found no complications, and he feels fine. Asked why announcement of [Dingy Harry]'s stroke was delayed for three days, his spokesman said, 'Well, the reason was the tests and the evaluations they were doing. We wanted to make sure we knew what we were announcing. You need conclusive information.'" There wasn't one member of the press that harped on Dingy Harry keeping from his constituents in Nevada and his colleagues in the Senate the fact that he had had a stroke, for three days.
She may be the smartest woman on the left, but she's far from the smartest woman in the world -- not even close.
Always good on Rush. There are lots of things out there that will come out if hilleree runs. If she wants to run with the big dogs she better be prepared for a REAL CAMPAIGN.
No wonder the left hates Rush so much. The truth hurts and they're in PAIN.
ROFL! So true. Some of them just seem lobotomized.
"Uh, you know..."

Just great! Thanks.
