RUSH: If she is so experienced, did you ever hear about her before 1992??? This was a very good point by the Great One.
After he said it I did a Google News Search for references to Hillary Clinton in the NYT before the end of 1991. There are 17 of them, including one op-ed and three or four which are probably mistakes (references to an Editor's Note). More than half are trivial references to her as Governor Bill Clinton's wife.

For those who missed Rush today:
RUSH:...The idea that she's running this disciplined campaign and so forth is falling apart. She's not a good candidate. Look, to understand this -- and I hate to be redundant -- but you've gotta go back and ask yourself a couple of really fundamentally simple questions. If her name were not Clinton would we even be talking about her as a presidential candidate? What in the world has she done, literally? What has she done? What are her qualifications? What has she done to unite the country? What has she done to motivate and inspire the country? What has she done in her career that will lead anybody to believe she's presidential? Nothing! It's just her turn. This is nothing more than a sop to her for bucking up Bill all these years and making sure he stayed viable. By the way, it's Bill's desire to stay in the White House, too, and get back in there for another eight years. Other than that, there's nothing. If her last name were Hillary Smith, nobody would even know her. We wouldn't even know her.
Now, you may think this is a put-down, but she's out there talking about 35 years of standing up for children, standing up for the poor. Did you ever hear about her before 1992? If she's got all these years of experience, I want to know how come the reputation didn't start until Bill starts seeking the White House in 1992. I'm saying that kind of campaign is one built on cards, not legitimacy, and to prop up an illegitimate candidate and candidacy, you need the henchmen who control the Democrat Party. You need a certain way of behaving so that you're not challenged, so that your inexperience and your unlikability are not on display all the time. That's why she's raising all this money to run propaganda commercials, which are going to be full of platitudes. Let me give you a better illustration of this, maybe not better, but a different one, different way of going about this. (cont.)
