Rush: Now, Hillary has blown it. She has really disappointed them. First with lack of answers -- these people in the media are liberals, and they want to hear it. They don't want to hear full-fledged, but they don't like this hedging. They don't like having to cover this. You can see the impatience in a lot of print journalists' work on Mrs. Clinton. They also don't like the fact that now she's playing the girl, now she's playing the victim. That is genuine; they are disappointed; she has let them down. They want to be able to hear a lie delivered flawlessly. That's where she doesn't have the substance and talent of her husband. Bill used to be able to give them every lie they wanted to hear as smooth as if it was the truth from God. And they sat there knowing full well it was a lie, or lies, but they marveled. Mrs. Clinton can't do it. Mrs. Clinton does not have one-tenth the substance, nor the skill, nor the talent of her husband in that regard. This campaign of hers, I'll guarantee you something, the Democrats want to shield from the country what they really think about illegal immigration, Mrs. Clinton is going to have to shield the country from what she thinks about everything if she has any hope of getting elected. And she'd have to do that for 13 months, folks.
Will people let her get away with that for 13 months? She's not the first lady now. She is on stage as the preemptive favorite to win the Democrat nomination. She has this aura of inevitability around her. She's not going to get away hedging, taking both sides or no side of an issue for 13 months. The press is not going to be satisfied. Now, it may well be in this instance, I mean don't misunderstand, they're not going to defect from Mrs. Clinton in terms of support, they may get over this, and we may have Hillary, in her next debate, whether it is or not, may be labeled as a stunning grand-slam home run, wow, what a comeback. Probably will be something along those lines. I think that something's happened here. I think the bloom is off the rose, there's not so much awe; there's a little disappointment that the press has in her because she just doesn't have it. And to go through 13 months without telling us one thing what she wants to do isn't gonna fly.
Mrs. Clinton Lacks Bill's Talent
