CNN’s "from the Left" commentator Paul Begala apparently doesn’t want people to forget that Rush Limbaugh dealt with OxyContin addiction. During a panel discussion of Rudy Giuliani and the possible factor of his family life in his presidential bid, Begala attacked the GOP, accusing that the party "has made a practice of going after people’s families," and then singled out Limbaugh for doing this (though Limbaugh has never officially worked for the Republicans). "Not just attacking Bill Clinton, we remember Rush Limbaugh attacking Chelsea Clinton. Maybe it was just the OxyContin talking."
Nine months ago, Begala slammed Limbaugh as the returns came in on Election Day as a "drug-addled gasbag who is self discredited."
Video (2:00): Real (1.46 MB) or Windows (1.23 MB), plus MP3 audio (915 kB).
Begala made this latest smear near the close of the 4 pm EDT hour of "The Situation Room" on Thursday. Former Republican representative J.C. Watts appeared with Begala, and the two discussed how the last election might have been impacted if former Defense Secretary Rumsfeld has stepped-down before Election Day, as well as Giuliani and his family.
The full context of Begala’s comments:
RUDY GIULIANI: And the best thing I can say is, kind of leave my family alone. You know? Just like I'll leave your family alone. And if you want to judge me, you want to judge me, or I want to judge you, we judge each other on our public performance. I don't know your -- I don't know your private life. You don't know my private life.
MILES O'BRIEN: ...What do you think? Let's talk about this in general, the whole. Where should the line be drawn on families? Where is it okay? Talk about the Clintons. They protected Chelsea Clinton very well all throughout. And there was, the media, I think, respected that generally, don't you think?
PAUL BEGALA: They did. And George and Laura Bush, I think, did a very good job of protecting their daughters. This is not a partisan thing. I think the President and First Lady have done a good job of protecting those girls.
(CROSSTALK)
O'BRIEN: Are people crossing a line here, do you think?
BEGALA: I think so. I think Rudy is right. I think if an issue affects your ability to do the job, then it's fair game. And that's mostly financial, medical. I mean, there are personal things I want to know about Rudy and the other candidates. But the kids ought to be off-limits. I think you're right. Now the problem is he's running in a party that has made a practice of going after people's families. Not just attacking Bill Clinton, we remember Rush Limbaugh attacking Chelsea Clinton. Maybe it was the OxyContin talking. But somebody who supported George W. Bush was attacking John McCain's family. They have this beautiful little girl they adopted from Mother Teresa's orphanage in Bangladesh. She's dark-skinned. They were saying that this was a product of an illicit affair that McCain had had. So, Rudy is entering into a party that has really made a practice of demonizing people's families.
O'BRIEN: All right. J.C., that's your party. You better respond.
J.C. WATTS: Well, I'm shocked that we would think that it's only one party. I mean, I've seen both parties do it. And I'm saddened by it. I think what Rudy -- Rudy Giuliani said there, Miles, is: I'm a father, before I'm a presidential candidate. I think he was right. Obviously, that's going to come up. I think both parties do it. No party has a corner on going after somebody's family over other people. As a matter of fact, good way to get a history of your family tree is to run for public office.

Limbaugh NEVER "attacked" Chelsea or anyone else. He merely comments on things they say or that are said about them. Billary used Chelsea as a political selling point and thereby opened her up for legitimate criticism - not for "attack."
Criticize a Lib, it's an attack; attack a conservative, it's journalism.
Are we talking about Rush's
August 16, 2007 - 18:36 ET by balboaAre we talking about Rush's "non-attack" with the dog picture, or something new?
...
August 16, 2007 - 18:41 ET by mattmWell, if you want to get technical about it, fine... I'll concede your point, but then Begala has no business complaining about such attacks when he engages in them himself...
Just once I'd like to see the Rush haters respond to something he's actually said - in context.
On the attack meter, I believe Rush is way behind the MSM attack machine.
I think that's what Begala
August 16, 2007 - 18:52 ET by Matthew BalanI think that's what Begala is referring to.
I think Begala's well
August 16, 2007 - 19:01 ET by balboaI think Begala's well within his rights to snark at Rush Limbaugh, who's had more than his share of belittling comments and snide remarks.
But I do believe that you should leave the kids out of it unless they put themselves in it.
of course you think it's okay for paul to be a snark
August 16, 2007 - 19:59 ET by terrigWell Balboa, Chelsea is ugly and there is no getting around that fact but you never really saw the press beat up on her even when she was falling down drunk. Besides, she can't help who her parents are anymore than the rest of us can. However, the Bush twins were another matter and you probably think they're fair game because you cannot stand their father. Of course old Paul had plenty to say about them and sure you did as well.
Huh? First, I think
August 16, 2007 - 20:12 ET by balboaHuh?
First, I think "ugly" is subjective. Chelsea isn't hot or anything, but she's far from ugly. And when was she falling down drunk?
I never said the twins were "fair game" did I? I think I just said that the kids should be left out of it.
There's no accounting for
August 16, 2007 - 20:18 ET by terrigThere's no accounting for taste but whatever. A few years ago, I believe it was Rush who had discussed that in England it was splashed across the pages that she was falling down drunk over there. Funny, it didn't get in the media here.
It tends to be that the left believe the twins are evil incarnate because they don't like their father. Have you seen what these lovely folks have said on Kos or Puff Po? They're really sick puppies.
Lunatics think the twins
August 16, 2007 - 21:19 ET by balboaLunatics think the twins are evil incarnate; level-headed normal people do not.
What Forehead Begala forgot
August 16, 2007 - 20:30 ET by Del DolemonteWhat Forehead Begala forgot to mention-and as a friend of the Clintons I'm sure he knew about it-was that in fact Limbaugh in 2002 happened to be at a wedding in New York, and Hillary was at the same gig.
Limbaugh made the point of personally apologizing to her about his Chelsea remarks. She accepted the apology. Of course, Forehead didn't want his brain-dead viewers to know that, so he didn't pass the anecdote along.
"Rush Limbaugh revealed last Wednesday that he and Hillary met each other for the first time at a recent wedding for a mutual acquaintance. The King of talk radio was mingling at the reception when a woman asked if he'd like to meet the former First Lady. Rush was whisked off to another room and in marched Hillary with a few hangers-on. According to Limbaugh, the two mortal enemies exchanged banal pleasantries and quickly went their separate ways. Rush did reveal to his radio audience that he apologized to Mrs. Clinton for what he described as an unfortunate portrayal of Chelsea Clinton on his TV show during the early years of the Clinton presidency. Hillary accepted Rush's apology. No word whether Hillary apologized for the "vast, right-wing conspiracy" remark."
I had a terrible time finding a cite for this on the liberally-biased Google search engine, but finally found it cached:

Also, Rush apologized on the show in question way back in 1992, and another subsequent show or two, including on his radio show. Then he clammed up about the incident for years untill it came out about his apology to Hillary. On his radio program, he didnt go into specific details except to say that after "the incident" occured, he made a promise to himself that if he ever came face to face with any one of the Clintons, that he would personally apologize to them. Then when he and Hillary were both invited to this wedding, this gave him the chance.

The Chelsea drunk in London
August 16, 2007 - 22:25 ET by Del DolemonteThe Chelsea drunk in London story was carried by a couple of British papers, and picked up by Newsday in NY:
excerpt:
"Two British tabloids carried photographs Thursday showing Chelsea Clinton being helped from a London nightclub by her boyfriend.
The Sun and the Daily Mail both published several photos suggesting the 22-year-old daughter of former President Bill Clinton and Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton had too much to drink at the Embassy Club.
"Bill's girl is going ... going ... gone!" The Sun said in a headline on page 25. It was divided around three photos showing an apparently wobbly Chelsea Clinton being helped by Ian Klaus, another American studying at Oxford University."
But gee, what a surprise! Newsday has scrubbed the story. Wonder why?
And from the leftist San Francisco Chron, which has also removed the story
"Two British tabloids carried photographs Thursday showing Chelsea Clinton being helped from a London nightclub by her boyfriend.
The Sun and the Daily Mail both published several photos suggesting the 22-year-old daughter of former President Bill Clinton and Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton had too much to drink at the Embassy Club."
And from the tabloid
"Photographs showing former first daughter Chelsea Clinton staggering bleary eyed into a popular London watering hole will appear in next week's edition of the supermarket tabloid Globe Magazine.
The Globe's cover story headline, "Boozing Chelsea: Clinton Daughter Out of Control," appears over a photo of an unidentified friend grabbing Chelsea by the face in an apparent effort to keep her from passing out.
Other Globe photos show Clinton, eyes bloodshot and looking disoriented, reeling as she emerges from a car with friends, one of whom is steadying her by the arm as the group weaves its way into the popular London nightspot Groucho.
"I thought Chelsea was about to topple over," a source who witnessed the scene tells the tabloid. "She was wobbling on her feet and a friend had to put her arm out to steady her."
The Globe reprints one passage from a British media report that claims: "Looks like Chelsea Clinton stumbled on a staggeringly good time when she hit London's West End this week. And it took a firm pair of hands to stop her from actually hitting the pavement as she swayed happily into the trendy Groucho Club, where dad Bill - the former U.S. president - was partying with U2 star Bono."
The drunken night out was not an isolated incident, according to others cited by the Globe, one of whom said the former first daughter is "spinning out of control."
"Chelsea's out on the town into the early hours every chance she gets," a Clinton schoolmate adds. "She loves a good time, but everything seems to revolve around drinking."
If the reports are accurate, Clinton's problems with alcohol would mirror a family pattern that saw her Uncle Roger finally admit to a life-long addiction to booze and drugs just last summer after entering an Arizona drug rehab center to dry out.
Last month another of Chelsea's uncles, Tony Rodham, admitted that he was boozing and smoking marijuana with a neighbor before he ended up entwined on the living room couch with the man's girlfriend.
In her younger days Clinton's grandmother Virginia was a fixture on the Little Rock party scene, with one account describing her as "a barfly."
According to one friend quoted by the Globe, Chelsea has turned to liquor "as a defense against jokes about her father and Monica Lewinsky and jibes about Hillary."
"One night when somebody cracked a Clinton joke, she walked into the bar and ordered a double vodka on the rocks," the source told the tabloid. "She downed it in two swallows and then walked out."
Last week the New York Post's Page Six reported that Clinton attended a New York party with sportstars Michael Jordan, Derek Jeter and Ahmad Rashad where "bottles of Veuve Clicquot and vodka" were consumed, but made no mention of Chelsea herself bellying up to the bar.
The Globe reported in April that the former first daughter was spotted boozing it up for spring break at several popular nightspots in Aspen, Colo."

NewsBusters Wants to See Chelsea Clinton Drunk
Topic: NewsBusters
"What is with NewsBusters' obsession with Chelsea Clinton's (long-ago) drinking habits?
An Aug. 7 post by Scott Whitlock marks the second time in a month that this issue has come up there. This time around, Whitlock is miffed that a "Good Morning America" report that referenced "Jenna Bush's many underage drinking incidents" didn't mention "the public drunkenness of Chelsea Clinton." Like Mark Finkelstein before him, Whitlock fails to acknowledge one crucial difference: Unlike Jenna Bush, Chelsea Clinton didn't break any laws with her drinking.
That link Whitlock supplies, by the way, is an 2-year-old anonymous report from a gossip blog -- hardly concrete evidence of Chelsea's alleged debauchery. Would Whitlock accept such evidence against the Bush twins?"
This last one was written by someone named Terri, who claims to have been a "newspaper writer". Said newspaper Terri "writes" for has a reading audience of only 20,000 people. And guess where Terri lives and works? Bill Clinton's home state.
Gee, what a surprise!

August 17, 2007 - 12:41 ET by mvfreemanYoung people, regardless of who their parents are, like to drink when they party. I did it, my son does it and so do lots of other twentysomethings. Why this should be considered news is beyond me. I can see these stories in the tabloids but see no reason why a "real " news outlet would report it, especially if no law was broken.

August 17, 2007 - 11:29 ET by cvgbuckeyeActually, balboa, it is so worn out how you will defend all those liars on the left. Anyone who could listen to the likes of Begalla, Carville, Mathews and the rest without puking at the outright hypocricy and lieing has a cast iron stomach.
Anyone who lobs a rotten egg at the President's motorcade, you immediately experience kinship with.
If I felt this way, I would spend my time at the dailykos, amongst kin. I never had a problem with a man with strong beliefs, no matter what they were. Its the middle of the roaders that I have a problem with. The only 2 things in the middle of the road are yellow stripes and horse crap.

It's amazing to hear the lame lying crap that flows from a liberals bobbling nuttopper.

It wasnt an attack
August 16, 2007 - 20:21 ET by bmoviesBegala remembers nothing.
Rush was doing a segment on his then new tv show about In/Out lists. There were dozens of them at the time. Basically he was trying to demonstrate the political bias of them (for example, Rush noted how many times he made the "out" lists despite his ongoing and rising popularity). That's when this happened (partial transcript from Lexis Nexis):
Copyright 1992 Multimedia Entertainment, Inc.
RUSH LIMBAUGH
SHOW: RUSH LIMBAUGH (9:00 PM ET)
November 6, 1992, Friday 11:15 AM
LIMBAUGH: Thank you. This show's era of dominant influence is just beginning. We are now the sole voice of sanity, the sole voice of reason. We are the sole voice of opposition on all television. This is the only place you can tune to to get the truth of the opposition of the one-party dictatorial government that now will soon run America. Oh, I mean, we are only beginning to enjoy dominance and prosperity. Most of these things on the in-out list are not even funny, but a couple of them--one of them in particular is.
David Hinckley of--of the New York Daily News wrote this, and what he has--he's got--it's very strange. He says, In: A cute kid in the White House. Out: Cute dog in the White House.' Could--could we see the cute kid? Let's take a look at--see who is the cute kid in the White House.
(A picture is shown of Millie the dog)
LIMBAUGH: (Voiceover) No, no, no. That's not the kid.
(Picture shown of Chelsea Clinton)
LIMBAUGH: (Voiceover) That's--that's the kid. We're trying to...
________________
It was clear that from Rush's reaction, this isn't something that he was expecting. It was either a mistake by someone on his behind the scenes crew, or it could have been done on purpose by the same behind the scenes crew person. However, in either case, it was clear that this was something that Rush wasn't expecting. There was a rumor, never verified, that the guy who did this was fired. And that same person went on to produce a failed tv talk show (dont know which one. There were many of them in the early 90s)

SHOW: RUSH LIMBAUGH (9:00 PM ET)
November 10, 1992, Tuesday 11:15 AM
("Who's Sorry Now" is played and Rush points to himself)
(Laughter)
LIMBAUGH: Ladies and gentlemen, I'm sorry. Let me tell you very quickly what happened last Friday night. There was a new in list and new out list that was published in the newspaper. The writer said in, cute kid in the White House; out, cute dog in the White House. Could we show the cute dog in the White House who's out, and they put up a picture of Chelsea Clinton back in the crew. And many of you people think that we did it on purpose to make a cheap comment on her appearance. And I'm terribly sorry. I don't--look, that takes no talent whatsoever and I have a lot of talent. I don't need to get laughs by commenting on people's looks, especially a young child who's done nothing wrong. I mean, she can't control the way she looks. And we really--we do not--we do not do that on this kind of show. So put a picture up of her now and so we can square this.
(Photo shown of Bill and Chelsea Clinton, who is making a sour face)
(Laughter and applause)
LIMBAUGH: All right. We're sorry. We didn't intend to hurt her feelings. We'll be back with our final segment right after this. Don't go away.
_______________________
Begala isnt the only lib that lies about this. I've run into dozens of liberals who claim to have witnessed this episode themselves, citing a completely different version of events. A version they found somewhere on the internet (this phony version of events originated with an innaccurate description in a column written by columnist Molly Ivins back in 1993), assumed that phony version of events was true, and quoted it themselves, adding the lie that they saw it with their own eyes.
One such liberal claimed (in the comments section of a blog) to have actually been in the studio audience that day, and even gave a behind the scenes description of what it was like to be a member of Rush's live audience in order to make the (phony) version of events sound more plausible. All I had to do was check with people who actually had been audience members of Rush's show (not of the above mentioned episode) to find out that the behind the scenes description the liberal gave didn't jibe with what it was really like to be a member of Rush's live studio audience.

The bouncing gorilla
August 17, 2007 - 00:19 ET by Lame CherryWatch reruns of the Limbaugh Show and you will see a segment with a bouncing gorilla the staff kept on the screen as Rush was talking. The audience was bursting out laughing and Limbaugh couldn't figure out what was going on.
So yes things happened on his program he had no idea of in surprising him. Unless you understand television is different than the radio program Limbaugh runs, it is ignorant in your comments of what you believe in "in information you think you know".
Limbaugh made the reference to Chelsea's looks which a majority of people noticed. It is odd for Limbaugh to keep apologizing about Chelsea when Hillary on 9 11 was making up stories about her experience.
Ugly though is like porn as the Supreme Court said, you always know it when you see it. I doubt Limbaugh's statement harmed child Clinton, but what did harm her was listening to a foul mouthed mother tossing lamps at the old man.
If Begala wants to start this war again, Limbaugh needs to stand up and start asking just what kind of psychological damage the Clinton's did to their child.
That will end this Elizabeth Begala in the foreheads Ann Coulter raise funds moment.....as that is what this is all about in raising money and the Clinton's now whoring their own daughter.

August 17, 2007 - 11:16 ET by pbanks7This very well could have been accidentally on purpose, but I also did not see it. You can usually tell by the look on their face whether their surprise is real or feigned.
On the other hand, I could not believe I heard him say Chelsea was ugly or homely on his radio show, and within minutes he was denying it. It would be illogical for him to repeat this mistake on TV.
Ignorance is bliss. It's easier to repeat a mindless slogan than to do some actual research.

Begala and Carville personally attacked opponents of the Clintons in a way that Bush's crew NEVER did, yet Rove's retirement is treated like an indelible stain on politics that wasn't there before and changed America for the worse.
Every time I think I can't be surprised by these charlatans, I'm surprised.

Then he goes on Russert's show with the alien and talk about how all civility has gone out of politics and yearned for those days when people worked across the isle.
It's unbelievable how liberals view life:
- Libs stand up for their beliefs while Conservitives are just divisive and won't compromise on issues that are secondary and "not important to people". The're stubborn and arrogant.
- Libs "point out" potential problems with canidates while Conservatives engage in politics of personal destruction.
- Libs "lie" about things that aren't important, so it's OK. Conservatives "lie" about National Security and Protecting our Country, so that's not good - better to be open and leave our country to be attacked.

Rush always says for something to be funny, there has to be a kernel of truth in it. That's why liberals are bad at humor; they just spew invective and call it joking.

Any political democrats out there that aren't freaks ? Is that part and parcel of their belief system and their cry baby whine for the outcasts and disadvantaged.... is that how they wind up making their freaks their leaders ?
Oh yeah, - just remembered, John Kerry - now what is that ? lanky droop eye triangle head ?
You forgot Alan Colmes,
August 17, 2007 - 09:33 ET by fosstenYou forgot Alan Colmes, a.k.a. the crypt keeper.
On the other side of the aisle you have rugged guys like George Bush, Clint Eastwood, Bruce Willis, and James Woods. Then add a topping of E.D. Hill, Kiran Chetry, Ann Coulter, Laura Ingraham, and Jenn Robertson.
Served with a side of normal, mild looking people like Karl Rove, Rush Limbaugh, Tom DeLay, Fred Thompson, Sean Hannity.
No freaks here.

Begala hasn't had much face
August 16, 2007 - 19:43 ET by 4arrowBegala hasn't had much face time lately. This must be his way of getting his toe wet. On a scale of one to ten, Limbaugh's sin was veneal.
Begala is not a doctor, teacher or labourer but he has to earn his daily bread and someone is paying him for his rants. Nice work if you can get it.

Ash: I admire its purity. A survivor... unclouded by conscience, remorse, or delusions of morality.

Bagala
August 16, 2007 - 20:04 ET by pocomocoTo paraphrase Don Corleone, Bagala is nothing more than one of Clinton’s pimps.
Boy Begala: "But somebody
August 16, 2007 - 20:29 ET by TEBoy Begala: "But somebody who supported George W. Bush was attacking John McCain's family. They have this beautiful little girl they adopted from Mother Teresa's orphanage in Bangladesh. She's dark-skinned. They were saying that this was a product of an illicit affair that McCain had had." Will Boy Begala or Miles O'Brien be providing any evidence that "somebody who supported George W. Bush" did what Boy Begala alleged? Will O'Brien be demanding that Boy Begala produce any evidence? Don't bet on it.

Take a break, relax, Lucy Pav.
Get back.
Nice try Begala....can't you
August 17, 2007 - 00:13 ET by msh1973Nice try Begala....can't you come up with something a little more current. What a loser!
I question Mr. Begala's memory
August 17, 2007 - 00:16 ET by Alfred J. Lemire"We remember Rush Limbaugh attacking Chelsea Clinton," quoth Paul Begala. I listened to Rush regularly during the Clinton years. I don't recall him saying anything about the girl. Perhaps he did. I'd like Mr. Begala to produce an example or two. I do recall a Saturday Night Live skit that took a low, mean shot at the girl's appearance. I'm pretty sure the author is the same sad fellow who wrote a few books and now is trying to be the next leftist Senator from Minnesota. Whoever 'twas, it was a vile shot. I never watched that program again, and I am no fan of the Clintons.
Did anyone here take time

August 17, 2007 - 15:41 ET by Chidi NwachukhuOn his TV show, he referred to 13 year old Chelsea as the White House Dog. How's that for starters? You are right, you wouldn't have heard it on the radio.
Rush is "self-discredited"?

Inthomp, You don't
August 17, 2007 - 09:48 ET by LeonInthomp,
You don't think his rants against drug addicts were a bit self-discrediting when it turned out he was a drug addict during that time?
I mean, people say a lot of things that aren't true about Rush, but the drug thing is one indisputable example of his lack of credibility.
