Hillary and Bill's New Best Friends? Limbaugh, McCain, Scaife, Fox News??

Did the sky open up, and the angels sang? (Sarcasm)

An odd thing has been happening regarding the right wing and the Clintons.  I've been meaning to write about this for awhile.  Hillary and Bill Clinton have some New Best Friends (NBF), and they are part of what the Clintons coined as "The Vast Right Wing Conspiracy": 

3/4/08 Bill Clinton was on Rush Limbaugh's show the day of the Texas primary.


Listen to the radio clip here.
Limbaugh himself was sick that day, and Mark Davis filled in.  Limbaugh had already urged Republicans to cross over to keep Hillary Clinton in the race.
Yes, Bill Clinton went there. I wonder if that bothered Chelsea any, considering that Limbaugh once referred to her as the Clinton family dog?

3/7/08  Hillary Clinton Pulls A Zell Miller - Must Lose Super Delegate Status   (Invoked when you endorse a republican)


Clinton praises McCain again, says he's crossed `Commander in Chief threshold'
Posted at the Carpetbagger Report  At a press conference on Monday in Ohio, Clinton was defending her "3 a.m." ad, and told reporters,  "I have a lifetime of experience I will bring to the White House. I know Senator McCain has a lifetime of experience he will bring to the White House. And Senator Obama has a speech he made in 2002."

3/25/08  Hillary even visited the editorial board of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review a paper owned by Richard Mellon Scaife (part of the "vast right wing conspiracy").
Hell froze over? Scaife once said that the death of Vincent Foster was the "Rosetta stone" of the Bill Clinton administration. (He also funded the so-called "Arkansas Project" at The American Spectator.)

3/26/08 Rush Limbaugh Taking "Operation Chaos" to North Carolina and Pennsylvania   

Talk radio host Rush Limbaugh wants "dittoheads" to switch parties and vote for Hillary Clinton in the democratic primary.... Limbaugh's "Operation Chaos" helped Clinton to garner more votes in the Texas and Ohio primary according to exit polls:
For a party that loves to hate the Clintons, Republican voters have cast an awful lot of ballots lately for Senator Hillary Clinton: About 100,000 GOP loyalists voted for her in Ohio, 119,000 in Texas, and about 38,000 in Mississippi, exit polls show.
3/26/08 Hillary did a sit-down interview with FOX News' Greta Van Susteren,  which aired Wednesday night.
The Democratic race is a "long way from being over," Hillary Clinton told FOX News on Wednesday, and she has no qualms about taking the primary fight all the way to the convention floor.

Hillary is a warmongerer. She has more money from military and defense lobbyists than any candidate in the race for the Presidency.

Those interests are calling in their chits and that means she has to endorse McCain as that is the only way they will be able to recoup their investment if she is not the nominee.

Hillary is BushCheney lite when it comes to the war.
