Clinton Flack to Rush: Shut Up About Bin Laden Deal and Broaddrick Rape

Former Clinton press secretary Joe Lockhart angrily defended his old boss yesterday against a 1978 rape allegation and charges that he blew a deal for Osama bin Laden's arrest, after talk radio host Rush Limbaugh suggested the ex-president should be asked about the two scandals during upcoming appearances on CBS's "60 Minutes."

"Bill Clinton won't talk about the stuff the American people really want to know. He's not going to address Juanita Broaddrick or giving the North Koreans two nuclear reactors to play with or rejecting three offers to take custody of bin Laden," Limbaugh said yesterday.

Bristling over the remarks, Lockhart told the Washington Post that the nation's top rated radio talker should "keep his mouth shut."

The ex-press secretary then described Clinton's reported million-dollar "60 Minutes" contract as "just one way to continue being part of the public service system."

Clinton has never denied a rape allegation by Arkansas businesswoman Juanita Broaddrick, who told the Wall Street Journal in Feb. 1999 that he brutally assaulted her in a Little Rock hotel room while he was Arkansas attorney general.

He was asked about Broaddrick's charges just once, in March 1999, and told ABC News reporter Sam Donaldson, "There's been a statement made by my attorney. He speaks for me. I think he spoke quite clearly."

No reporter has ever asked the ex-president about his Feb. 2002 confession that he personally turned down a deal for Osama bin Laden's extradition to the U.S. in 1996.

"We'd been hearing that the Sudanese wanted America to start meeting with them again," Clinton told New York's Long Island Association. "They released him. At the time, 1996, he had committed no crime against America so I did not bring him here because we had no basis on which to hold him, though we knew he wanted to commit crimes against America."

Hear the bombshell bin Laden admission that Clinton won't discuss on "60 Minutes."

This sounds like a verbal threat..maybe I should get a restraining order.

... or at the very least, stay out of Arkansas.

[fightinJAG]

Oh, Lockhart had to get a "Clinton's global work on AIDS" jab in in order to try to patch things up with the Richard Gere's of the world.

Always thinkin', those Clintons.

[YankeeReb]

NEVER FORGET

...So WHY do you think CLINTON is now suddenly going on Friend of WALTER CRONKITE's CBS-TV..?

Let's not forget his brilliant plan for deterring terrorism, freeing convicted FALN terrorists, in order to help the Hilderbeast's election. BTW... I wonder what ever happened to that $$ million dollar $$ the first enabler received from Simon & Schuster for her "tell all" book?

Clinton and his ilk were swooned by the leftist press as being so much smarter than the rest of us. According to the leftist press and the Clinton Administration we needed them to herd us along like the sheep that we were. They were the most qualified to tell us exactly what to do. Well, thanks to Billy, The Queen of the Dou#h#bags, and his little band of merry men, we sheepish people elected a Republican majority in Congress the very next election (and we saved the Republic, Thank God).

The next time I hear a lefty say that the Clintons were the most intelligent people in the world I'm going to punch him/her straight in the face....I swear I will!

We'll be cleaning up their mess for the next 20 years. If they ever get a hold on political power again it will be the downfall of the Republic and mean the imprisonment of you and I.

But that won't happen, as long as I'm drawing breath!

Its a funny funny song, that has clips of Al Sharpton, and makes it sound like he is rapping! FUNNY STUFF!

[ladyinred]

More indications of how the left believes in free speech, as long as it is their speech.
The media will never ask Clinton about these issues because they know the truth, and they sure don't want that known to the public.

I don't recall Limbaugh mentioning the Broaddrick rape before yesterday. Looks as though progress is being made.

Yes, he has talked about it. He believes Juanita, of course.

And also, remember when Katherine Prudhomme (sp?) asked algore about the rape? Rush played the exchange many times on the radio.

...or WHERE's HILLARY RODHAM's Book...?

Bill Clinton doesn't know when to
Turn Off the Flashing Lights.

He still wants to be the Center of Attention
even after 2 years out of office.

In a Time of War,
CBS's 60 Minutes
is more TRAITOR
and LESS reporter.

God Bless President George W. Bush
not only are the enemies without
they are within, as well.

"Bill Clinton won't talk about the stuff the American people really want to know. He's not going to address Juanita Broaddrick or giving the North Koreans two nuclear reactors to play with or rejecting three offers to take custody of bin Laden," Limbaugh said yesterday


Rush Limbaugh and Judicial Watch have
the same questions.

Will CBS have the guts to REPORT
Clinton's LIES and Criminal Activites,
or is this new hiring in reality
an under-the-table CAMPAIGN DONATION
to THE CLINTON's 2004
Presidential Campaign!?

Bill Clinton's appearance on 60 Minutes is a
a serious breach of National Security!

Sen. Hillary Clinton sits on the Armed Services
Committee!!

What's to stop Bill Clinton from giving Saddam Hussein secret messages through his words or signals?

The LEFT is desperate to return the CLINTONS to power
and they'll do it on America's Grave if they have to.

Rush is always on target.

According to sources in both the CBS News and Entertainment Divisions, Clinton would only sign the deal if he was paired with Dole, and CBS willingly caved.

I wonder why Dole was the opponent of choice?

Is DOLE a MOLE???

[sport]

No Ronnie, it is not safe. As long as hillary roddam clinton is breathing, it will never be safe.

She is the most evil and vile creature that the Lord ever created.

About 3 weeks back, Billie Bob Clinton was interviewed and asked if he had any regrets. He answered, "In hindsight, after 9-11, I wish I had gotten Bin Laden".

Like the pathilogical liar he is, Bill Clinton is able to LIE convincingly, because he always TELLS THE TRUTH!!

Let's complete Bill's unspoken ending to his
sentence....

"I wish I had gotten Bin Laden
to cause more damage and destroy
all of Wash. D.C. and hit the Capitol
so that complete chaos would have
happened as planned on 9-11"

There...the TRUTH is always the
backbone of every good lie.

Rush could catch the Arkasaw flu.

vince Foster, James Mc Dougal, Bert Parks, Kathy Fergerson and many more caught it.

They are no longer in this world.

That sounded like either a threat or a word to the wise to me.

[Joy Angela]

I'm also hoping that Bob Dole tires of the gig and steps down. CBS could replace Bob with, say ... Ann Coulter?

What a GREAT idea!!

Ann Coulter VS Bill Clinton

Bill would start drooling
and Ann would Slap him silly!!!

Problem is...
Bill might like it!

[Doomonyou]

Bad idea to tell Rush to shut up!

[sport]

If I was Rush I would be very careful about getting into an airplane.
