Rush: 'We've Gone from Bull Connor to Bull Clinton'
NewsBusters | Mark Finkelstein

Leave it to Rush to sum up the political situation in a pithy, high-impact way. Here's how Limbaugh opened today's show, speaking of the way Bill Clinton injected race into the campaign with his comparison [view video of Clinton making his statement here] of Obama's South Carolina primary victory to Jesse Jackson's twin wins in the Palmetto State in the '80s:

We've gone from Bull Connor to Bull Clinton.

So now the Clintoons have Rush and the Kennedy’s going after them.

Ted Kennedy endorsing Obama
Boston Globe ^ | 1/27/2008 | Susan Milligan

Ted Kennedy endorsing Obama By Susan Milligan Globe staff WASHINGTON — Senator Edward M. Kennedy will endorse Barack Obama for president tomorrow, breaking his year-long neutrality to send a powerful signal of where the legendary Massachusetts Democrat sees the party going — and who he thinks is best to lead it. Kennedy confidantes told the Globe today that the Bay State’s senior senator will appear with Obama and Kennedy’s niece, Caroline Kennedy, at a morning rally at American University in Washington tomorrow to announce his support. That will be a potentially significant boost for Obama as he heads into a series of critical primaries on Super Tuesday, Feb. 5. Kennedy believes Obama can ``transcend race’’ and bring unity to the country, a Kennedy associate told the Globe. Kennedy was also impressed by Obama’s deep involvement last year in the bipartisan effort to craft legislation on immigration reform, a politically touchy subject the other presidential candidates avoided, the associate said.

You left out the Liar-In-Chief's most important name, that of his father.

Because Bill knows that once Hillary’s dream of being POTUS is gone, they can finally get divorced.

They will never get divorced because otherwise they could be forced to testify against each other.

Cordially,

Did it ever occur to anyone that just maybe, deep down, Bill doesn’t want Hillary to become POTUS?

I agree. I've always thought that was a good deal of passive agressiveness in Billy Jeff's behavior.

Could it be that after Willy Jeff's heart operation that maybe he lost oxygen to the brain causing premature Old Timers Disease.

Bill like Jimmy Goobers Carter is a pathetic excuse for an expresidente.

Rush is just relishing in what we conservatives have tried to tell the more moderate liberals about the Clinton's for the last 15 years.

That is the Clinton's are overly educated elitists race baiting scum bags.

So funny, Rush just said that the Dems are longing for another Camelot but the Clintons are not Camelot—they are the evil knights hiding out in the woods.

As support for you argument....how many times while Bubba was POTUS did he end an argument with Hillary by saying “I’m the president, and this is the way it’s going to be”. Do you think for a nano-second that he wants to hear that as a retort?

That was a great segment...I loved when he said that everyone expects us to vote for Mrs. Clinton because she is a woman, Obama because he is black and McCain because he is a hero--that we owe them. Rush says--we don't own them, they owe us!

Rush didn't want to be on cnn this morning.
He said the audience was too small to justify his getting up early!
LOVE IT!!!

Bill will only be around the White House for special occasions, parties. The rest of the time he will be wined and dined by the rest of the world while being flown and driven around by our tax dollars......and don't forget the unlimited access to women.

I'm not even going to get into the clandestine money deals he will be making on the side. His current multi-millionaire status will elevate to billionaire status

FWIW, I think he already is a billionaire with a lot of secret offshore accounts.....
