Rush Limbaugh's bottom dwelling
As Salon documents, Rush Limbaugh is obsessed with ass:
- When gay activists called for a boycott of Colorado in the early 1990s, Denver Mayor Wellington Webb came to New York to seek the support of his fellow African-American city chief, Mayor David Dinkins. Limbaugh saw Dinkins being pulled in two directions: “And the question is should he bend over forward and grab the ankles for this narrow special interest group or should he remain in solidarity with his black bro?”
- In the run-up to New Jersey’s 1993 gubernatorial election, Limbaugh said that the only people who’d vote for Democrat Jim Florio were those willing to “bend over, grab their ankles” and accept new taxes.
- The Clinton administration’s proposal for healthcare reform was a command, as Limbaugh wrote, to “Bend over, America.”
- When Republican National Committee Chairman Ken Mehlman sought to court African-American votes by apologizing for his party’s past, Limbaugh grumbled, “Republicans are going to go bend over and grab the ankles.”
- Three years later, he accused Democrats of being submissive to black and gay voters. “Democrats will bend over, grab the ankles, and say, ‘Have your way with me,’ for 10 percent and 2 percent of the population?”
Occasionally, though, someone shows the proper defiance.
- When Sarah Palin refused to cooperate with investigations of Troopergate, Rush glowed approvingly: “She didn’t bend over and let them have their way.”
And those who do willingly submit get nothing but contempt from Limbaugh. A favored term of abuse for these is “butt boy.”
- CNN’s Ed Henry is Obama’s “butt boy,” but ABC’s Jake Tapper, to his credit, is not.
- NBC’s Andrea Mitchell, somewhat confusingly, is the “butt boy” to Rep. Barney Frank.
There are many many more.
