Not Quite The Family Dog, Eh Rush?
7/24/2004 — UPDATE: Noticed that I’m getting a lot of hits to this page today. Can anyone leave a comment to let me know where you came from? Take a look around, hope you like what you see.
More time travelling…
All that aside, Limbaugh’s recent remarks directed at two Sept. 11 widows veer so far off his worn propaganda path that they bypass his “insensitive and inappropriate” statements concerning Donovan McNabb and venture into the realm of another shameful moment in broadcast history — when he lit into 13-year-old Chelsea Clinton in 1993. “Everyone knows the Clintons have a cat. Socks is the White House cat. But did you know there is a White House dog?” Limbaugh said on TV, before holding up a picture of Chelsea.
Jon points out that Chelsea turned out to be quite good looking after all.
You know, it would be nice to have Rush finally pay her a compliment, now that she’s no longer 13, going through that awkward phase, and unable to defend herself.
Well noted. I totally concur.
I was gonna blog about Chelsea’s newfound hottie status. But I’m so above that sort of shallow drivel. Heh.
But seriously, yum fuckin yummmm!!!
Heh.
Your hits may be coming from this:
You’re linked in a comment from atrios, who was linked in turn from MoFI (well, that’s the route I took anyway).
Thanks Glenn. Mystery solved.

Didnt happen that way.

RUSH LIMBAUGH
SHOW: RUSH LIMBAUGH (9:00 PM ET)
November 6, 1992, Friday 11:15 AM
LIMBAUGH: Thank you. This show’s era of dominant influence is just beginning. We are now the sole voice of sanity, the sole voice of reason. We are the sole voice of opposition on all television. This is the only place you can tune to to get the truth of the opposition of the one-party dictatorial government that now will soon run America. Oh, I mean, we are only beginning to enjoy dominance and prosperity. Most of these things on the in-out list are not even funny, but a couple of them–one of them in particular is.
David Hinckley of–of the New York Daily News wrote this, and what he has–he’s got–it’s very strange. He says, In: A cute kid in the White House. Out: Cute dog in the White House.’ Could–could we see the cute kid? Let’s take a look at–see who is the cute kid in the White House.
(A picture is shown of Millie the dog)
LIMBAUGH: (Voiceover) No, no, no. That’s not the kid.
(Picture shown of Chelsea Clinton)
LIMBAUGH: (Voiceover) That’s–that’s the kid. We’re trying to…
Jeeze, you’re stupid. He meant to throw up the picture of Chelsea in reference to the family dog remark.
Yes, it did happen that way and I saw it with my own eyes.
You are referencing another show.
Lying, and badly at that.

Still waiting for your mea culpa.
Man, you’re boring. Thanks for the comment, but you’re wrong.
[EDITOR'S NOTE] Comment has been removed for blatant aggitation.
Yawn, once again. Rush did it, he meant it, and I have it on tape, moron. Get a life and quit using my year old posts to comment on something with such boring remarks. Thanks and Merry Christmas.
And if you think Rush is some sort of saint or something, then you must be using the same painkiller stash. You’re probably as moral as him.
Pretty amusing to watch these Rush supporters try and rewrite history.
Too bad for them we can look at the historical record for ourselves.
And Millie was Bush Sr.’s dog, not Bill Clinton’s, so you might try a more convincing lie next time instead regurgitating what you read on The Free Republic.
