RUSH: There's another theory here is that I have evolved to explain Bill Clinton and his rampant lying. By the way, there is a distinction. In the nineties, when Clinton was out there telling whopper after whopper, the press just covered. They covered for him. In fact, they sat back and they did stories; they marveled at what a great liar he was. But now they're calling him on this, all the Drive-Bys. I mean, he's got some circling the wagons. You've got TIME Magazine. You've got ABC. Everybody is calling him on this. AP's Ron Fournier ripped him to shreds today in the "'Good Bill' vs. 'Bad Bill'" story. So that's different. That's going to come as a surprise. The Clintons are used to getting a pass on this kind of stuff from their buds in the Drive-Bys. But it also could be nothing more complicated than this: Maybe he's just panicked. If Hillary's defeated, he is defeated. If Hillary is defeated, his chance of getting back in the White House is fini. So he's out there stumping around doing all these things. Now, when you're in a panic state, you sometimes say impolitic things. But now that he's saying this twice in one day; it does appear to be calculated. (interruption) What, program observer? (interruption) Yes. (interruption) Mmm-hmm. A question is being asked: "Why would he want to go back to the White House?"

Snerdley says, "You know this guy better than himself. Why would he want to go back to the White House?" If he wants to go back White House, it's power, baby. It's power. He's a sixties generation anti-war guy. This is their last chance to remake the country. You can't remake the country in the image you want it to be making speeches in Abu Dhabi. You can't do that. He's got a lot of money now so he doesn't care about that. He doesn't care about popularity. He cares about popularity, but he thinks he's going to be more popular than ever if he gets back in the White House. That's ultimate power. That's what these people are about. I'm stunned, Mr. Snerdley, that you, of all people, don't understand the lure of power and what these people want to do with it. Besides, he won't actually have to be in the White House, which is a bonus. He will have power as though he's in the White House, but he will be all over the world. Hillary will make sure of that. You see if she loses, none of this happens, and he's just a former president without a future that involves the presidency or his wife having a future. Look, it's just a theory. It's just a theory to explain all this. Another theory is, he doesn't want to go to the White House; has no desire for any of this, he's happy catting around right now and the sooner Hillary loses and gets out of this race -- the more he can date, the more he can do, whatever, I don't know -- and is trying to sabotage her.

Clinton: Pathology or Sabotage?
