From This Day On: "Mrs. Bill Clinton"
RUSH: From this day forward, ladies and gentlemen -- on this program, at least, and I think in the minds of many other people -- the woman formally known as Hillary Rodham Clinton will be now known as Mrs. Bill Clinton. If I slip up -- Snerdley, anybody here on the support staff, if I slip up -- and call her Hillary Clinton, correct me each and every time until it becomes a habit to refer to her as "Mrs. Bill Clinton," the wife of the former president. There's a reason for this. It was Obama's moment. He was going to go down there to Selma. Hillary Clinton decided she had to show up, too. But she couldn't deal with a mano-a-womano showdown. She had to bring Bill, "the first black president of the United States." She could not do this on her own. This is not a feminist comment. I don't want any of you women getting upset out there. This has nothing to do with feminism or male-female. It is a Clinton Inc. reality.
For example, the Arizona Conservative headline: “Hillary Clinton Grabs for Husband's Coattails.” Senator Hillary -- sorry -- Senator Mrs. Bill Clinton... See, it's going to take me a while to get into this but it will happen. “Senator Mrs. [Bill] Clinton sought to boost what some say is a sagging presidential campaign by emphasizing who she is married to.” The correct way to write this for the journalists out there would be, to whom she is married. “Coming off a week of bitter exchanges with Senator Barack Obama, Mrs. [Bill] Clinton pointed out that with her in the White House, America would have the benefit of a president who is advised by a former president. ‘It's a really unique opportunity for America,’ said Mrs. [Bill] Clinton. ‘Bill would be back in the White House giving the country the benefit of his eight years of previous experience.’”
