Limbaugh broadcast "spoof ad" that included allegation of rape against Bill Clinton

During the October 5 edition of his nationally syndicated radio show, Rush Limbaugh broadcast what he called "a spoof ad from DNC Pharma. ... A new ad for a drug that they have recently introduced to the market: Tryphorgetin." The "spoof ad" declared: "If you are a supporter of Hillary Clinton and you have a nagging fear that her shameful past will come back to ruin her election chances, this message of hope is for you." In a mock testimonial, a woman asserted that after taking "Tryphorgetin," "I even forgot that Hillary stood by her husband even when she learned that he'd raped Juanita Broaddrick. Thank you, Tryphorgetin. Thank you, DNC Pharmaceuticals."

Limbaugh introduced the "spoof ad" by stating: "This is being emailed all over the place. I'm -- you may have heard it, because this is -- it's funny."

From the October 5 broadcast of Premiere Radio Networks' The Rush Limbaugh Show:

LIMBAUGH: One more bite here before we go to the break and then get back to calls. You've got to hear this. This is being emailed all over the place. I'm -- you may have heard it because this is -- it's funny.

It is -- it's a new ad -- it's a spoof ad from DNC Pharma. It's a Bruce Chapman production, DNC Pharmaceuticals. A new ad for a drug that they have recently introduced to the market: Tryphorgetin.

MAN: I had this terrible sense of anxiety, this unshakable sense of doom, but that was before I tried Tryphorgetin.

ANNOUNCER: If you're a supporter of Hillary Clinton and you have a nagging fear that her shameful past will come back to ruin her election chances, this message of hope is for you.

DNC Pharmaceuticals presents Tryphorgetin: more than just a drug, a way of coping.

WOMAN: Hillary was in charge of destroying the reputations of the women Bill sexually harassed. That used to bother me. Then I tried Tryphorgetin. Now I don't even remember what a bimbo eruption is.

MAN: When I tried Tryphorgetin, I completely forgot about the missing files from Vince Foster's office, Chinagate, the Madison Guaranty swindle, money for pardons. It's all just gone. Thanks to Tryphorgetin, I believe there really is a vast right-wing conspiracy that makes Bill jump into the sack with all those girls.

WOMAN: Here's the best part: I even forgot that Hillary stood by her husband even when she learned that he'd raped Juanita Broaddrick. Thank you, Tryphorgetin. Thank you, DNC Pharmaceuticals. I definitely recommend Tryphorgetin to all my fellow Democrats. It's made the difference between -- between -- what was I saying?

ANNOUNCER: Side effects are generally mild and include nausea, dizziness, and loss of self-esteem. In more severe cases, side effects include delusions of victory, irrational exuberance, and the complete suspension of rational judgment.

MAN: Tryphorgetin. Whatever it takes to win.

—J.H.
