On the August 27 edition of the syndicated radio program The War Room with Quinn & Rose, co-host Jim Quinn introduced a segment on Sen. Hillary Clinton by saying, "By the way, that brings us to our Hillary Heads-Up," and then playing audio of the Elton John song "The Bitch Is Back." Quinn then said, “I was going to play 'Ding Dong, the Witch is Dead.' But you know what, I -- you never know with the Clintons."

The War Room with Quinn & Rose is a syndicated radio program based in Pittsburgh on Clear Channel's WPGB 104.7 FM. Talkers Magazine lists Quinn & Rose on its "Heavy Hundred." According to the show's website, it airs on 17 radio stations and XM Satellite Radio.

From the August 27 broadcast of Clear Channel's The War Room With Quinn & Rose:

QUINN: I can't believe that the American people look at Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid and John Murtha and say to themselves, “Yeah, I want more of that.” But that -- maybe it's just me. By the way, that brings us to our Hillary Heads-Up.

ELTON JOHN [audio clip]: I'm a bitch, I'm a bitch. Oh, the bitch is back. Stone cold sober as a matter of fact --

QUINN: I was going to play “Ding Dong, the Witch is Dead.” But you know what, I -- you never know with the Clintons. And of course, Bill still has another crack at it tonight. We'll see if he can control his mouth.
