"The Clinton Hustle"

compiled by Jonathan

from the Rush Limbaugh TV show

Below are the six stages used by Hillary Rodham Clinton and her husband in various schemes and policy implementation attempts. It was originally broadcast on the Rush Limbaugh television show circa 1994.

1. The Crisis
   • days and days of hand wringing on T.V.
   • absurd figures to exaggerate the crisis.
   • emotional soap-opera anecdotes to touch your heart.

2. The Balloons
   • wacky leaks of how the problem will be solved
   • it's free. it's inexpensive. it's fair
   • finding a culprit. (i.e. lobbyists, rich, Reagan/Bush, conservatives, etc.)

3. The Set Up
   • a highly promoted speech that will:
     • change America forever.
     • make or break the president.

4. The Sting
   • a long, long speech that promises to "end the crisis"
   • no specifics as to cost.
   • no details.
   • only a select few will pay (i.e. the rich).

5. The Polls
   • all gain, no pain plays well in Peoria.
   • "America" loves the plan.

6. The Blame
   • as details start to come out- and people start to see what the real deal is, popularity begins to collapse.
   • the gimmick-
     
     • the fading support is never the "details"
     • it's always the "misinformation"
     • the "special interests"... the "right wing talk shows"
