Rush on Faux News Wednesday Afternoon
Transcript from his icky website (yuck I can't believe I went there) *shivers*

He takes "partial credit" for Hillary's victory.

From http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/home/daily/site_030508/content/01125116.guest.html

"MACCALLUM: All right. Well, he rallied his Republican listeners to vote for Clinton, and now Rush Limbaugh is taking partial credit for her big wins last night in Ohio and Texas. The conservative radio host says it's all about creating chaos on what he calls the other side, and arguing that it would help the GOP in the end. So here to explain all that, Rush Limbaugh joins me live for an exclusive interview. Hi, Rush. Good to have you here.

RUSH: Thank you, Martha. How are you?

MACCALLUM: I am great, thanks. Thanks for coming in tonight. Tell me this. Do you believe that this Rush Effect of Republican voters voting for Hillary is really what turned the game last night?

RUSH: Well, I think it was partial, sure. What was more fun for me was watching all the rest of Drive-By Media today react to it as though it was corrupt and it was ungentlemanly and so forth. I mean, all we were doing yesterday was acting as mavericks. I mean we were sending our side across the aisle to join the Democrats and try to elect -- or nominate somebody that we thought we could beat. The whole idea here, Martha, was if the Democrats and the media can choose our nominee -- which is what's happened here in Senator McCain -- then why can't we choose theirs? To me, this is all about Republicans winning. It's all about coming out victorious in November. I just heard the previous conversation that Monica and Beckel had. Neither think that Hillary or Obama would agree to be vice president. I'm not so sure of that. I think Hillary wouldn't mind being vice president. She could undermine Obama and perhaps lead impeachment hearings against him. I don't think people understand how desperately she wants this. But the main point for me in all this is to create as much chaos and bloody up Obama politically. Half the country already hates Hillary, if you look at her negatives, but nobody hates Obama yet. The Republicans have indicated that they're not going to engage in a campaign highlighting Obama's negatives, but Hillary and the Democrats have already done that -- and I think Republicans need for that to continue, and who better to do it than the Clintons?"

1. Actually it did work.... I will explain..
Obama was getting Cross over republican votes in other contests by as much as 20%.. in texas he got 5% -- it was all the Republicans voting for Hillary to keep us fighting.

If HRC beats Grampa's ass, I'll bet he won't. He's a one-way bastard who will nevder admit he's wrong. He'll be too busy licking his wounds.

I pray to God this comes back to haunt him.
