Maha-Rushie meets with the Clenis
posted at 7:45 pm on May 17, 2007 by Ian
Rush Limbaugh talks about his encounter with Bill Clinton at a New York restaurant:
The two actually met face-to-face and had a conversation lasting several minutes. The question is, who approached whom? According to Rush, Clinton approached him first. Clinton claims the opposite.

Rush said that he was seated at the restaurant when Clinton came in and said hi to him. Then he said that Clinton came back a few minutes later to introduce Rush to the mayor of LA. While Rushbo was chatting with the mayor of LA, Clinton was chatting it up/hitting on Rush’s date (heh).
Rush only approached him after the two left, and it was to give him a photo-op and to say goodbye.
So both are right, but Clinton approached Rushbo in the restaurant.
Opening monologue. Great story. Totally inconsequential.

Soooo, who are you gonna believe, Rush or der Sleekmyster? No contest here. Rush has more class in his pinky than slick Willie has in his enitre body; and while your at it, you can throw his wife’s enitre body in the fracas too. Rush’s pinky still wins!

I’ve listened to Rush since 1988. I have never known him to intentionally lie to his audience.
I first became aware of Bill Clinton in 1990. Since then I have never known him to tell the truth.
Hmmmmm! It’s soooooo difficult to choose whom to believe. AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

This kinda lame…I mean it feels like high-school girl gossip. But who is this mysterious woman?
JaHerer22 on May 17, 2007 at 9:43 PM
Apparently Clenis was wondering the same thing, LOL.

Was Clenis waving that “I didn’t have sexual realtions” finger when he made this claim?
I am more apt to believe the loveable little fuzzball.

While Rushbo was chatting with the mayor of LA, Clinton was chatting it up/hitting on Rush’s date.
More proof, as if any were needed, a leapard never changes it’s spots.
And, in The Clenis’ case, the Little Head is still telling the Big Head what to do.

Rush’s video on H&C not – he’s completely full of Scheisse. No matter how he spins it and no matter how many will claim the contrary, he wet his pants over meeting Clenis.
Rush loves himself.
Clinton loves himself.
Both are publicity whores.
They now love each other because it benefits both.
And, yes, they both spin the who ‘attracted’ whom first.
Two Kinder in the underdeveloped stage.

H&C now…note to self “read darned comments before hitting that submit button!!!”

Here we go…Rush “I’m already getting negative commentary…bla, bla, bla…what would you do if he came to your table?” I would have said “Good evening Mr. President…bla, bla, bla…nice meeting you”. Then I wouldn’t have whored a picture out of him, leaving the restaurant.
I would have told you all that I’d seen him though, simply becaue I like lives’ unplanned encounters of a different kind.
Rush is so giddy about it, as if he uncovered a miracle. Next he’ll meet the Glacier and tell us that it’s melting some.

Rush tried to explain to his listeners today that he’s not the stuck-up type to walk away when Clinton approached him. Though opposed in ideology you’ll find many celebrities act behaved when they accidentally meet in public. It’s called professionalism. Clinton’s well practiced and seems to really enjoy it. With Rush, it comes naturally.

I dunno who said Hi to who first and don’t really care. I’d be damned thrilled to meet and greet any of our former Presidents although I’d wash my hands longer after some rather than others.

Very cool story.

Now Rush needs to get Mrs Bill Clinton on his radio program. Unfortunately she might score point for showing up.

If the Clenis came over and said hello to me, I’d say, “Good evening sir” and then go back to what I was doing. That’s all he’d get from me – the slimy creep.

Wonder if Clenis offered The Great Rushie a cigar?
Wade on May 18, 2007 at 10:15 AM
Like…who you gonna believe??
(P.S. Obviously, the Rushman)

If he came up to my table I’d grab a firm hold of my wallet and tell him to keep his hands in his pockets at all times and don’t even LOOK at my date, she’s not interested. Only THEN would I show the respect that he, as the former President, is required.
Then I’d buy dinner for his entire Secret Service detail.
