Chelsea Clinton On Sandra Fluke: "We Both Have Been Attacked By Rush Limbaugh"
Buzz Feed/Reuters ^ | Mar 28, 2012 | Rosie Gray

Chelsea Clinton, moderating a panel on women in politics at the 92nd Street Y in Manhattan on Wednesday, told the audience that she has something in common with Georgetown law student Sandra Fluke: their experience being the subjects of Rush Limbaugh attacks.

Introducing Fluke, who entered the room to loud applause, Clinton said, "She and I have something in common: we both have been attacked by Rush Limbaugh. She was 30, I was 13."

Clinton was referring to the1993 incident in which Limbaugh said she looked like a dog on his television show ("Socks is the White House cat. But did you know there is also a White House dog?"he said, holding up a picture of a teenage Clinton).

Limbaugh provoked outrage for that comment,

I’m thinking, given the family tree, the similarities don’t end there!

I would think Fluke would find better ways to enjoy her ‘15 minutes of infamy’, then again, not really...

Fluke’s philosophy:

“I may not be a slut, but I’ll fight to the death for the right of all women to be as slutty as they wish with the full support of the American taxpayer.”

Chelsea was never attacked by Rush.

She was attacked by Sen. Al Franken, though (or at least his buds on SNL)

The sad part about Freeping is the marginal ability of vocal and facial expression so people understand when one is joking and/or being Sara attic.

I should have given the usual “/S” sign.

I knew the incidence never happened.

Thank you for posting thatlink. I had always assumed that the liberal account of the incident—that Rush said there was a White House cat, and also a White House dog, and put up a picture of Chelsea for the latter—was correct, and considered the supposed joke to be outrageous and indefensible, but the real story is that no such joke was told, and the only mix-up was that when Rush said in November 1992 that with Clinton’s election a cute dog would move out of the White House and a cute kid would move in that they mistakenly put up the picture of (the then largely unknown) Chelsea instead of the picture of Millie the Bush’s dog. I have no one to blame but myself for having taken the media’s account at face value instead of digging for the truth.

Ha. These attacks coming from the very people that continuously call Rush every name under the Sun. LOL... They can dish it out but God forbid someone fire back.

Hypocrites!

I guess Rush's comments caused Chelsea to take a good look in the mirror eh? It appears she didn't like what she was seeing either.

Poor thing. ;-)

Oh, give it a rest already. The Left is angry because here Rush is, about a month later, STILL on the air and his advertisers are returning.

I hope her marriage is going well.

Yeah, well, I don't give a rat's ass about that, either.

I just wish all the damned Clinton idiots and fools would go away.

She has about as relevance to the state of the free world as we know it as a pile of dog excrement in front of the White House.

Now, the pile of dog excrement in the White House is another matter.

Well, actually the plastic surgery did help the outside of the girl.

But the inside is still the same. Hubbell ain’t exactly George Clooney,you know.

Sandra Flook is SO Yesterday.

TRAY-von has relegated her to the ash heap of pop history.
