Rush weighs a Hillary fundraiser

Rush Limbaugh, one of many conservative talkers deeply hostile toward John McCain, has begun talking about bailing out Hillary Rodham Clinton's campaign for president, suggesting repeatedly on the air yesterday and today that he'd raise money for her — though not exactly because he likes her.

"It is rumored that the Clintons are digging into their own personal wealth to fund Hillary's campaign. I'm thinking of maybe doing a fundraiser," Limbaugh said yesterday.

He's been talking about it all day today, and offered a slogan:

"Keep her in it so we can win it."

I've got only a rough transcript of most of the rest of today's show, on which he asked his listeners repeatedly if he should hold the fundraiser. He's casting his offer in part, at least, as a parody of GOP "strategery," mocking the notion that — in place of a conservative candidate — Republican strategists see Clinton as their savior.

1. Rush has no financial interest in a Republican winning, and a great interest in Hillary winning

He will make more money having Hillary to bitch about than he ever would if McCain won.

4. Yep, it's a win-win for Limpballs! He's prospered with Chimpy the last 8 years.

2. Gee Rush, I though McCain was the anti-christ. Why would you want him to win?

You stupid hypocritical pencil-penised dried up little turd.

3. I Heard The Medicated One Live This Afternoon

He and his ilk should heed St. Teresa Of Avila's admonition "That more tears are shed over answered prayers than unanswered ones."

5. Or in his case - "When our side loses, we'll make excuses"

Fat pasty-assed bastard.

6. We've been saying this up here for a while

They know the one thing that fires up Republicans are the Clintons.
