Radio host Rush Limbaugh gave his two cents on Chelsea Clinton’s new role as journalist on NBC as he vented his theories on his radio show on Monday.
Limbaugh believes Chelsea’s new role is part of a grander plan and said she is a “politician-in-training”.
Chelsea, the daughter of former president Bill Clinton and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has signed on as a full-time special correspondent with “Making a Difference” a new series which will be broadcast as part of NBC’s “Nightly News”.

The right-wing commentator said Chelsea would learn the “inner-workings of the communications branch of the Democrat party...under the guise of becoming a journalist."
He said he had “no doubt” that she had joined NBC to further “her ability to master the medium of television for her later career in politics."
The host even said that this job was "a precursor to becoming the next Senator from New York."
Limbaugh said that working in the media and entering office was no “an avenue not open to conservatives." He said conservatives lose an election e "bomb out...go to Fox...where we get hired by Roger Ailes."

He's a blustering racist bigot.

Rush Limbaugh certainly has a pretty decent number of listeners and receives a lot of money for what he does, but this only proves these points; that there are far too many very hateful Americans and that his radio network is willing to pay foolish amounts of money to have all these bigoted and hateful listeners tuning in! It’s almost too scary to think of what Rush and these people would be like if the GOP got back in control of the Whitehouse! Anybody for a bankrupted “white Anglo-Saxon”, former Super Power country? Plenty of non-Anglo Saxon workers available!

Rush, has been right more times than wrong in his long career as the #1 talk show host in the world..By the way tell rugby player if it was not for the USA, most of the world would be speaking German or Japanese..Lets see..his last contract was for about $400 million ???

The fact that a pandering and hypocritical windbag like Rush Limbaugh has so many devoted radio listeners in the USA only further proves how dumb,ignorant and bigoted so many Americans are. No wonder the USA is in deep doo doo!

All I can say to Rush Limbarf is ---So what?
JohnKWilson | Nov 18, 2011, 08:39 AM EST
Rush has been attacking Chelsea for most of her life. As I note in my book about Rush (The Most Dangerous Man in America, limbaughbook.com), when she was a child, Rush called her "the White House dog" on his TV show, and later on he invented a false claim that Chelsea attacked Republicans after 9/11.

So what? It's none of his business what Chelsea does.

Perhaps she could share the job with Caroline Kennedy - it seems New Yorkers are 'cosmopolitan' and 'sophisicated' enough to vote for any pipsqueek with one of the Royal Democrat names....you don't need any experience or credentials - just look at the Prez. How about Senator Malia Obama? No need to wait till she's completed school - New Yorkers will take her right now.

Poor old Rush he's an old fart with nothing nice to say
conorsmom | Nov 17, 2011, 05:16 PM EST
Hey Rush watch the "Today" show much? W's daughter is a "reporter" on that show... Even if Ms. Clinton is looking to her future, what do you care? If you don't like her, don't watch. I'm sure she will be just fine without you! Really, you need a life, hating on people because of their political party is just not cutting it any more. Move on.

Fox gave Krazy Kasick a voice after he and his buddies ran their company into the ground taking billions of investors fortunes with them and look where he turned up. Why isn't Ohio a recall state? Oh yea, the Republicans argued that it would create too much "democracy!" Heaven forbid. Good Luck with the Walker recall in Wisconsin - I am so jealous! I suggest Rush get off his A** and run for something himself. I bet he couldn't beat Moe, Larry or Curly for snake catcher in Ireland. Good Luck to Chelsea in whatever career path she chooses and thank you to her parents for the 90's when jobs were plentiful, raises were good, home prices were going up, stocks were soaring, the nation had repeated surpluses to pay down the debt and we were not involved Bush's wars. Remember those years? How could anyone ever think of putting the republicans back in control again after the fine job they did of messing up what the Clinton administration left them.

Is he back on the drugs?
KeyWestConch | Nov 17, 2011, 11:54 AM EST
Well, not sure what his point is and what difference it really makes? She wouldn't be the first child of a politician to become a politician? What's the diff and why does he care? Anyhow by the time she finishes "training" and enters the political arena Limbaugh will probably be dead. Can't happen too soon either.

@springfield9, get a grip. And check under your bed, there are monsters, you know.

This guy is a buffoon.

The article's banner says it all...Rush's two cents...a highly inflated amount of his opinion's worth!
Murph46 | Nov 17, 2011, 11:01 AM EST
I'm sure she won't see any vast right wing conspiracies!
Shmrck5S | Nov 17, 2011, 10:39 AM EST
O. M. G. Get this guy a tinfoil hat. Are those black helicopters?
MikeRock | Nov 17, 2011, 10:34 AM EST
He's right.
Springfield9 | Nov 17, 2011, 10:16 AM EST
Chelsea Mezvinsky - get it right. A dumb skank, plastic surgeried and married into a pack of felons - great Senator from New York.
carrickcourt | Nov 17, 2011, 09:49 AM EST
What a jerk, enough said.
MotherIrish | Nov 17, 2011, 09:48 AM EST
NBC needs ratings - and how better than to hire the ex-pres' dtr. And he may just be right about what she sees for her future. What happened to her married name. Oh yeah, not a recognition factor there. .

Good theory. It would give more credence to the reasons for blocking Caroline (Sweet Caroline).
