A column urging Bill and Hillary Clinton to leave the national stage so that Democratic presidential candidates won't have to labor in their shadow has apparently been spiked by news editors who regularly carry Hillary's Creators Syndicate essays.
A LexisNexis search Friday morning turned up not a single published version of the Estrich screed, in which the liberal Democratic operative implored the Clintons to "shut up" and predicted that Hillary would never be president.
Still, millions of Americans learned of Estrich's analysis from Rush Limbaugh, who spent several segments of his top-rated radio talk show on Thursday discussing Estrich's bombshell remarks.
Fox News Channel hosts Sean Hannity and John Gibson also gave Estrich, a regular contributor to the top-rated cable news channel, TV airtime to explain her concerns.
By Friday, after it became apparent that no mainstream print outlet had carried the controversial column, Limbaugh publicly protested the media censorship.
"Nowhere on the Internet can you find Susan Estrich's column from yesterday," he told his audience. "Now, that just doesn't happen - a column to be spiked everywhere."
"I'm sure Susan's still scratching her head," Limbaugh added. "What have I got to do? I write a column, I send it out and on this one column, everybody that runs it spikes it."

I expect Susan Estrich will soon suffer a mysterious death. That would be typical of the Clinton pattern.
To: Paul Atreides
How do they accomplish the spike? Do they send e-mails/faxes to the editors? Wouldn't it be great to get the text of one?
To: EggsAckley
I agree with all of you about the excerpting that's been going on.
I rarely click through on excerpted articles. If I do, I usually post the article myself. If I don't, I generally complain to the original thread poster about excerpting from non-verboten sources.
Excerpting is evil. It generates income for the liberal media outlets FR was founded to fight against.

"If Estrich protests by posing nude on some magazine cover, I'm holding you responsible. <|:)~ "
what "tattoo's" would they "put on her/it's body"...???
"i didn't have sex with that man....mr klinton"
"it depends on what your definition of perjury is..."
"mrs bill klinton was never THERE for him..."

My oh my. The column was excellent, blunt, and really ripped Bill, Hill, and Sid apart.

Something I found interesting is that a RAT that posted about this at "that other place" wonders what accounts for "such rank insubordination". Kinda frightening that they view it in terms of "subordination".

Well, not for the foreseeable future. It's like those crazy in-law distant relatives that you hear about, but nobody can lock them up in an attic. They're out there roaming around, embarrassing the hell out of everybody.

Say what you will about the democrats, the Democratic National Committee has absolute control over the media. It is jaw-dropping amazing.

How old is the old girl? She has to be what... 60 by now.

"Do they send e-mails/faxes to the editors? Wouldn't it be great to get the text of one?"
A spike this encompassing would probably be done by phone...person to person, no doubts, no screw-ups or heads (and fingers and toes) will roll...that's why Estrich had better switch party affiliation very quickly as a form of insurance.
