Bill Clinton on Limbaugh? (Actually, Strike That Question Mark)
You know, I'm getting goddamned sick of everybody picking on Hillary Clinton about her supposedly tactless, borderline Rovian methods for chipping away at her opponent Barack Obama's forward momentum. It's totally unfair for progressive Democrats to attack her for running her campaign by the so called Republican playbook.
I mean, it's not like she's going on Rush Limbaugh's radio show or anything.
You may have missed it — almost everyone missed it — but Bill Clinton was on Rush Limbaugh's show the day of the Texas primary. You can hear the radio here. Limbaugh himself was sick that day, apparently, but he had already urged Republicans to cross over to keep Hillary Clinton in the race. Bill saw an opening — and went there.
Um… I said she's not going on Rush Limbaugh's radio show. It's a totally different thing for her husband — the former President of the United States and father of the girl whom Limbaugh said looked like a dog — to go on there. It's totally totally different. Totally.
Sigh…
But you know what. Rush Limbaugh was sick. It was a guest host that day. Yeah, a guest host. Actually, that's kinda a little weird…
Was Limbaugh sick? As Marshall implies, this seems set up in a way to provide some "plausible deniability" so that Clinton was not tarnished with actually appearing with Limbaugh — but would be on with a substitute host. If the story gains "legs," look for that argument from the Clinton camp and its defenders.
Okay, that's an interesting point, but do you have proof that Rush wasn't really sick at home after having overdosed on prescription pain medication? Aha! I didn't think so.
Okay, so let me get this straight in my head. The spouse of a Democratic candidate for president was a guest on the #1 conservative propaganda show in the country, on the very day of the Texas primaries, only a few days after the show's host asked his listeners to vote for her "if they can stomach it" because it would damage the Democratic party.
I don't see anything unseemly about that. It's not like they beat up a gay foreign Muslim dude to curry Republican favor.
They didn't, right?

At least when Clinton had his cockslobbered he was at work next to the red phone. All in a days work interns on the job training.
The Clintons give sacks containing scum a bad name.
