The Washington Free Beacon has the story. Actually, a lot of different websites have the story. "Clinton Foundation Head Accused Clintons of 'Paranoia'." Look, I'm going to have to do this story in stages. There's no way I can do this in one segment getting all the audio sound bites in with it. But I do want to get started on this because I'm already factoring in mixing telephone calls and everything for a properly and well-balanced program, as only a highly trained broadcast specialist could execute without a producer.
Oh, speaking of, folks, look. I'm sorry. This is inside baseball, but I just can't -- since I reminded myself of it... (interruption) What? You don't think I should mention it? (interruption) Yeah, I'm not gonna mention any names. (interruption) You don't think I should mention this? (interruption) Why, it's no big deal. I mean, what could possibly go wrong? (interruption). Do not put doubt in front of me like this. Here I was proceeding full speed with confidence and bravado, and now you're making me doubt what I was gonna do?
It's harmless. What could go wrong? What in the world are you worried about if I... (interruption) It could all go wrong, did you say? (interruption) I'm not gonna mention any names. I was never gonna mention any names. It's not a big deal. I just saw the -- it's too inside baseball. You know what, even if you understood it, you wouldn't care. (interruption) You think they would? Oh, now you're really confusing me. You think they would care? Talking about you, folks, the audience. (interruption) Well, now that this cloud of doubt has been seeded, I shall pause and consider whether or not to discuss and just stick with the Hillary stuff here, because the audio has been discovered.
"Clinton Foundation head Donna Shalala privately expressed concerns about Bill and Hillary Clinton’s mental state in the mid-1990s, saying they had become 'paranoid' and fixated on 'right-wing conspiracies,' according to previously unpublished audio recordings obtained by the Washington Free Beacon," committing a random act of journalism.
"In 1994, four years before Hillary Clinton said a 'vast right-wing conspiracy' was trying to take down her husband’s presidency, top aide Shalala said this theory was already embraced by the Clintons. 'They’ve become paranoid. Paranoia. Thinking people are out to get them, this right-wing conspiracy stuff,' said Shalala." And she was in a good position to know. She was chairman of the Children's Defense Fund from 1992 to 1993 where she worked with Mrs. Clinton and she left there and Marian Wright Edelman took over.
In '93, Bill Clinton appointed Shalala to be secretary of Health and Human Services, and she served for eight years in that role, becoming the nation's longest serving Health and Human Services secretary. Then she went to the University of Miami so she'd be close to Janet Reno. They took a pickup truck trip together. Remember that? Shalala was actually talking about what fun it was to get in Reno's pickup truck and they went just pedal-to-the-metal and hit the road.
She was recently appointed president of the Clinton Foundation. "The tapes are part of a series of interviews with Hillary Clinton and top aides," conducted by Haynes Johnson, who used to be at the Washington Post. He's a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, Haynes Johnson. He was on the Sunday shows all the time back then. The Washington Free Beacon got a hold of him from the Wisconsin Historical Society on the University of Wisconsin campus because Shalala was the president of the University of Wisconsin before the Clintons tapped her for greatness in 1993.
"The recordings provide additional insight into how Hillary Clinton was affected by her unsuccessful push for health care reform ... Aides feared at the time that Hillary Clinton had become 'paranoid,' 'burnt out,' and prone to angry outbursts, according to the tapes.
'[The Clintons are] feeling sorry for themselves. They talk about [conspiracies] all the time,' said Shalala. 'That there really is a conspiracy out there to get us. That we don’t have a chance, people don’t understand how much good we’ve done. Our message isn’t getting across because these people are beating us up.'"
She's talking about talk radio. Folks, there was no Fox News then. There was no conservative blogosphere. It was just me and what the Clintons refer to on the tape -- you will hear it in a moment -- as the "Limbaugh clones." How about that for a tease?
tyrants always fear what can take them down and expose them for the frauds they are...
I would say Rush and the Clintons are probably equally obsessed with each other.
You don’t think the klintoons need to be a major concern for anyone that has America’s best interest at heart?
At least Rush has no designs on our liberty.
I just think with the amount of airtime he has spent on the Clintons over the years, it’s kind of odd for him to be complaining about how they are “obsessed” with him.
I was always out to get them, just never could figure out how to do it!
And you are on this thread about the Clintons and Limbaugh because .........???
Maybe because they are? And they ARE dangerous people to have as enemies.
Obviously I have nothing better to do at the moment.
