MSNBC: Bill Clinton was on Limbaugh's Show Today

Update: This appears to now be confirmed.

MSNBC just reported that Bill went on Rush Limbaugh's show today pandering for votes.  If this is true I am absolutely disgusted.  

More information below the fold:

I'm sorry this diary is so short.  If someone has another with more information I will delete it.

As people have noted, Rush had a guest host today, Mark Davis

http://www.wbap.com/...

Still campaigning for his wife on a critical primary election day, Ex-President Bill Clinton told WBAP's Mark Davis that he believes Hillary Clinton will defeat Democratic rival Barack Obama on Tuesday.

The audio can be heard here: http://images.radcity.net/...

Limbaugh now has on his front page that Mark did indeed interview Bill Clinton today,

•  At least post some random words and letters

  To make this seem like a full diary.

  But that sounds a bit silly. I think that would be on the blogs if it happened...

•  no

  Limbaugh was out sick

  •  So Bill sub'ed for him?

    Boy, Hillary is pulling out ALL the stops, isn't she?

  •  Clinton did an interview with Rush's surrogate

    I thought it was going to be a fake interview, like Hannity does, but it was the real deal. Couldn't believe what I was hearing

    by LoLoLaLa on Tue Mar 04, 2008 at 04:00:15 PM PDT

•  It is not true.

  Even Limbaugh wasn't on Limbaugh today.  He was out sick.

  •  LOL how do you guys know this?

    Can you actually stomach listening to him?

    P.S.--5 minutes til VT results!

    by oscarsmom on Tue Mar 04, 2008 at 03:54:51 PM PDT

    •  I listen a lot.

      He can be pretty damn funny.

      by bugscuffle on Tue Mar 04, 2008 at 03:55:32 PM PDT

    •  I listen to him and Hannity every weekday

      They are actually quite hilarious. When they start acting crazy I just turn the volume down

      by LoLoLaLa on Tue Mar 04, 2008 at 04:02:17 PM PDT

      •  You're implying they aren't full time crazy?

        by Lying eyes on Tue Mar 04, 2008 at 04:19:24 PM PDT

        •  Actually, no lol

          I've heard Sean Hannity put racists and homophobes in their place. And when people call trying to pass off rumors for true, he hangs up on them.

          by LoLoLaLa on Tue Mar 04, 2008 at 04:29:05 PM PDT

  •  It is true

    I listen to Rush and Hannity everyday, Bill did an interview with Rush's stand in for the day (Rush has the flu) who is a local TX radio guy

•  I HIGHLY doubt that...

  ...but maybe Limbaugh was so high he THOUGHT Clinton was on the show...

•  I heard the same report on MSNBC

  that Bill was on Rush.  I don't know anything more.

  This is the third unsubstantiated rumor diary of the day, and I'm not even here all day.

  by sunshineonthebay on Tue Mar 04, 2008 at 03:56:24 PM PDT

  •  Geez it was framed as a question

    The guy/gal is LOOKING for substantiation!  Isn't that what blogs are for?

    by oscarsmom on Tue Mar 04, 2008 at 03:58:21 PM PDT

  •  Ahhh come on

    the blogsphere is all about rumor mongering. It's fun!

      I used to be a fan, but he has gone downhill lately.

      •  Why because he won't buy the crap that

        Hillary has been peddling?

        by Dreggas on Tue Mar 04, 2008 at 04:03:20 PM PDT

        •  because he needs to report the news

          not form opinions for his viewers.
          We have FOX for that.

          by sunshineonthebay on Tue Mar 04, 2008 at 04:04:23 PM PDT

          •  It's an OPINION show, not a news show...

            That's what the Special Comments are all about. Sometimes you agree, sometimes ya don't. Given KO's track record, I would say that he seems to be picking on one particular candidate, maybe there is a reason. Maybe.

            by Azdak on Tue Mar 04, 2008 at 04:22:37 PM PDT

            •  it's not news

              I agree with that point.  I guess if it's not supposed to be news then it doesn't matter what the quality is.

              by sunshineonthebay on Tue Mar 04, 2008 at 04:24:16 PM PDT

          •  He doesn't form my opinion

            he just tends to agree with it.

            by Dreggas on Tue Mar 04, 2008 at 05:08:57 PM PDT

  •  I heard him on Rush's show with my own ears lol

    by LoLoLaLa on Tue Mar 04, 2008 at 04:03:07 PM PDT

  •  Sorry not a rumor

    Rush was sick, Bill still there.

    by Shhs on Tue Mar 04, 2008 at 04:19:10 PM PDT

    •  not exactly

      No Rush, there was a fill-in by someone who had interviewed Bill.

      by sunshineonthebay on Tue Mar 04, 2008 at 04:20:30 PM PDT

      •  It's still Rush Limbaugh's show

        even when someone else guest-hosts it.

        Don't be obtuse.

        by corvo on Tue Mar 04, 2008 at 05:52:18 PM PDT

  •  Surely more than three.

    by Lying eyes on Tue Mar 04, 2008 at 04:20:27 PM PDT

•  I briefly listened but didn't hear bill

  i caught part of the limbaugh show this afternoon, and could only listen for about 5 minutes before i wanted to rip out my radio and hit a republican in the face with it. If bill was on there today, then the clintons should be kicked out of the democratic party.

  by Robby Wales on Tue Mar 04, 2008 at 03:58:47 PM PDT

•  Rush did meet him. Not on the show.

  And not recently. 2007.

  If he was on the program today it would be all over teh google. I don't see the story.

  A link from May 2007:

  http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/...

   So I'm turning my head, my left ear to him so I could hear a little bit more, and he said, "You're looking great. You're tan, fit, you look very good out there." I reached out my hand, "Mr. President, it's a pleasure to meet you."

  by psycho liberal on Tue Mar 04, 2008 at 03:59:37 PM PDT

•  Clinton did an interview

  with Mark Davis at some point.  While guest hosting he replayed at least portions of the interview toward the end of the show.

  by MLDB on Tue Mar 04, 2008 at 04:00:08 PM PDT

  •  Ah! That would explain it.

    So the interview wasn't ORIGINAL to the Rush show.

    I had my doubts about the Big Dog ever appearing on Rush's show. Even with a guest host. And even in the interest of getting out the vote for Hillary.

    by jeremybloom on Tue Mar 04, 2008 at 04:09:47 PM PDT

    •  That's it!

      i remember now.  Davis has a big morning show in Dallas.  he replayed the interview when he sat in for Rush.

      by bugscuffle on Tue Mar 04, 2008 at 04:13:15 PM PDT

•  FWIW

  I went to rushlimbaugh.com to check this out.

  Rush was out sick so Mark Davis took the spot and Mark Davis did interview Bill Clinton today. Link to audio file.

  Also, there are many more things in this world to be disgusted about that are more disgusting than Bill Clinton talking to Rush Limbaugh, even though it didn't happen. Perspective is a wonderful thing.

  by Caoilainn on Tue Mar 04, 2008 at 04:02:58 PM PDT

  •  Even if Clinton didn't appear on Limbaugh's show,

    he certainly seems to have appeared on the radio talk show of a host that Limbaugh considers reliable enough to give him the substitute host role.

    by lysias on Tue Mar 04, 2008 at 04:18:17 PM PDT

    •  I agree, he did.

      I still think that it is nonsense that this is a disgusting thing. I love it when Mike Huckabee is on The Colbert Report. Granted that is humorous, but isn't a big part of Obama's message about reaching out to all Americans and talking to them? Isn't it about building dialogues?

      I know that there are a lot of people pissed off at the Clintons, both Hillary and Bill. Right now it seems like they are just damned if they do and damned if they don't. There are more important things to get worked up about and to expend energy on in my opinion. That is all I am trying to say.

•  I feel better--Karma is officially on

  Obama's side.

•  Y'all do remember supporting talking to people

  you don't agree with? Oh yeah, IOALAIO.

  <It's ok as long as it's Obama>

  by Pogyak on Tue Mar 04, 2008 at 04:23:22 PM PDT

  •  What is IOALAIO?

    by LoLoLaLa on Tue Mar 04, 2008 at 04:38:13 PM PDT

  •  that's a really, tremendously

    stupid and unnecessary comment.

    you know there is a difference between obama meeting with world leaders to discuss global events and pandering for votes on right wing hate radio.

    so why post such a ridiculous comment?

    by Stampy51 on Tue Mar 04, 2008 at 04:58:11 PM PDT

    •  ps i am not getting into the details

      commentator seemed to justify bill clinton going on limbaugh and equating it to obama talking to world leaders.

      i don't know all the details but it is that ridiculous idea that i am responding to.

      by Stampy51 on Tue Mar 04, 2008 at 05:00:45 PM PDT

      •  Uhm, whether they be big or small, people respond

        when you talk to them and not at them.

        You actually think we don't pander to world
        leaders? Where you been the last 60 years?

•  What a pantload of scum. Get them out of

  this contest.  TEXAS!!!

  by mainecabinfever on Tue Mar 04, 2008 at 04:36:30 PM PDT

•  Either he did or didn't. You folks are ridiculous

  You'll take any chance to take a shot at the Clintons. How hard is it to confirm that Clinton was on the show?

  by mmorang on Tue Mar 04, 2008 at 04:58:59 PM PDT

•  Lies, and the lying liars who tell them

  by mmorang on Tue Mar 04, 2008 at 05:00:07 PM PDT

•  So Bill appeared on the show

  of the man that compared his 13 year old daughter to a dog on TV.

  Nice.

  What a fucking putz.

  If I were Clinton 15 years ago, I would have kicked Limbaugh's teeth out for that crap.

  If I were Clinton today, I would have kicked Limbaugh's teeth out for that crap.

  My already declining respect for Bill has dwindled to a smidgen.

  by calipygian on Tue Mar 04, 2008 at 05:01:58 PM PDT

  •  And Bill's wife is close friends with McCain ...

    ... who told a disgusting joke about Chelsea.

    by raatz on Tue Mar 04, 2008 at 05:19:43 PM PDT

  •  As a gay male,

    I lost any respect for the guy about three weeks into his first presidency.

    As an American with eyes and ears, I learned early in the 1992 primaries that having any expectations about him would only cause disappointment.

    by corvo on Tue Mar 04, 2008 at 05:54:44 PM PDT

    •  I am a het female

      and  DADT  pissed me the hell off, I expected more from Bill Clinton, and even though I was not personally effected by DADT, I thought he caved and even though I knew he was not going to get anything better passed, it sucked, I felt kicked in the teeth and I was just a GLBT supporter who has some awesome friends that I love a lot.  He disappointed me again and again on other issues, I just want to say that although I still give him and HRC some slack, I understand why you are angry and I also understand why my opinion means nothing to you or anyone else. It doesn't mean much, but there it is.

      by Caoilainn on Tue Mar 04, 2008 at 06:35:10 PM PDT

      •  I value your opinion,

        but I cut the Clintons no slack.  They don't deserve it.

        by corvo on Wed Mar 05, 2008 at 06:06:46 AM PDT

•  Rush Limpaugh/Right Wing has

  been urging Republicans to vote for Hillary in the primary since they know McCain has won and Hillary will be easier to beat. So Bill Clinton was going after these Republican votes. The Clintons are really low feeders, this is really dispicable.

  by ctsteve on Tue Mar 04, 2008 at 05:16:38 PM PDT

  •  yup

    I think that about sums it up. Clinton is courting votes of people who want her elected because they think she is beatable.

    the enemy of my enemy is my friend... or something like that.
