Bill Clinton did NOT go on Rush's show.

Bill Clinton went on Mark Davis' show earlier that day at WBAP.
Later that day Mark Davis guest hosted for Limbug and replayed that interview.

People have acknowledged this at donklephant, at freerepublic, and even at democratic underground.

Why do you believe Andrew Sullivan.

"I suppose if Republicans can vote in the Democratic primary, a stupid idea in and of itself, its fair game for Clinton to troll for Republican votes."

Yeah it is fair for Dems to go after R votes, but the Republicans want Hillary to win the Democratic nomination because they see her as more vulnerable against McCain.

McCain and Obama both appeal to cross-over voters, so O gives M a run for his money there. And O can win states that H can't. Also with O there is a clear choice of ending the war in iraq sooner or- with McCain- staying in Iraq indefinitely. The Iraq issue is much more muddle with Hillary. Also a lot of people won't vote for Hillary because she's seen as a divisive figure- even before Obama took the stage.

But going back to the idea of TX Republicans voting for Hillary- ha! That's a laugh. If McCain weren't already the nominee (technically the presumptive nominee, but he already has all the delegates needed) then the TX Republicans would have been more involved in their own race. They're just spoilers in the Dem race now, getting to choose who they want to vote AGAINST in the general. Wouldn't that be a hoot if the R's in the upcoming races voted for Hillary because of that reason and that is what gave her the nomination, but she lost the WH?

No offense to those Republicans who voted for a Dem, but to those Republicans who don't actually support a Dem candidate, STAY OUT OF OUR BUSINESS and vote for the person you support. Same goes for Dems supporting Rs (but I haven't heard of any similar stories).

Lastly, I've said before that Hillary approaches this presidential process like a war. She will do and say anything to get win the battle, and then go on to fight the next battle. She doesn't care what she is doing to the party because she expects Democrats to fall in line. Well, I can tell you now that since McCain attracts indies and Dems as well, Hillary needs more than just Democratic loyalists to vote for her if she wants to win the WH. But she doesn't see it that way. She wants it her way.

Rush would love nothing more than Clinton to get in there for 8 years. He'd have 8 years of material, he could recycle most of it from the 90's.

Rush's whole shtick has always been about division and how he can use it to pump himself up. And we all know that has strong appeal to certain folks (god I'm polite), but the fact that WJC would actually go on his show, while Rush plays hooky is incredibly ironic. These are indeed strange times we live in…. Is it possible Bill is just reaching a point where the 02 just gets so far?

If Clinton wins, his show gets one more boost of vitality before his likely retirement (my guess). Between now and then, though, he and the other talkers have to pull for McCain. Ha. Of course, some of them may secretly or not-so-secretly hope that Clinton or Obama win rather than McCain so they can criticize from a position of attack rather than (“)defense.(“)

Like Stephen King's “Carrie”, they are just inviting her to the prom so they can mess with her once she steps inside. Once Clinton got the nomination the GOP “aisle-crossers” she's working with now would turn on her so fast there would be a sonic boom. Rush is slime. I was willing to chalk up the rest of Hillary's campaign tactics to-in-the-trenches campaigning, but Limbaugh mocked her teenage daughter nationally to score some cheap political points and indulge his and his fans' idiotic sense of humor.

Once again, Obama looking better everyday.

Hey, they are reaching out to bring everyone together. Right? I suppose if Republicans can vote in the Democratic primary, a stupid idea in and of itself, its fair game for Clinton to troll for Republican votes. That said I am not altogether happy about it. Although frankly I would view Schulz the same way. He has been an enemy to Clinton THIS year and if I were Clinton I wouldnt get near Schulz. And the point that if McCain did this he would be skewered by Republicans is really irrelevant to the article. In addition, I see ZERO evidence the Clintons are trying to sabotage the nominating process or split the party or anything of the same. Just watch please and stop forecasting. Watch what the Clintons do if Hillary loses the nomination. Make your judgments then. Making your judgments now, before it has happened, and with a 50% chance you are wrong anyway, and then getting all bent out of shape based on your forecasting of something that hasnt happened yet is not very elegant thinking.

Am I really required to care about this?

I know, last week a senior foreign policy adviser to Obama called Clinton a monster and thus had to be forced to resign. I'm sure I could find a bunch of similar examples of ginned-up outrage producing completely out-of-proportion consequences going back through the entire campaign.

Or, rather, you can find them. If you care. Not me. Because I don't care.

Why should I care?

Current election shenanigans aside, consider this: Limbaugh has said some truly foul things about Bill, Hillary and, worse yet, their daughter Chelsea when she was still a teenager and was first in the public eye. But Bill Clinton can countenance appearing on Limbaugh's show with only the veil of a guest host to protect him from well-deserved opprobrium? Maudit!
