Latest from Limbaugh
RUSH: Well, now, how can anybody think that Obama wasn't referencing Palin here? I kind of like seeing the tables turn on these guys. This is the kind of stuff they usually do to me but now the tables are turned on old Barry. I think the truth is, you can put lipstick on a community organizer, but it still doesn't make him presidential material. If we want to play this game, we're going to play the game with them. One thing we know about Obama's statement for sure, Democrats will tax the pig, they will tax the lipstick, and then they'll say it's okay to marry the pig because it's just a lifestyle choice.
RUSH: Remember, ladies and gentlemen, when the Iraqis went to vote they raised up purple fingers with great, great pride. When American women go to vote, they should raise lipstick red middle fingers. That's what they ought to do here because of this pig lipstick comment. Maybe women and men who are the sons, daughters, fathers, brothers of women, you know, Biden's out there insulting women, and here's Obama now directly insulting Sarah Palin. People with pig ears shouldn't throw pig slurs. Politics may have changed forever here, folks, and we've gone now from red states and blue states to red states and lipstick red states. It's just too much. Now, here's Barry today, a tense and arrogant Barry in meltdown addressing the pig lipstick comment.
OBAMA: I want to say a few words about the latest made-up controversy by the John McCain campaign. What their campaign has done this morning, uh, is the same game that has made people sick and tired of politics in this country. Uh, they seize on an innocent remark, try to take it out of context, throw up an outrageous ad because they know that it's catnip for the news media.
RUSH: Yeah. Some people thought he handled this pretty well. I happened to watch this, and I actually think he could have done himself a little bit better not apologizing. You know, you don't apologize in situations like this, but he could have been a little bit more definitive. He did say, "I was talking about McCain's economic plan," but if you listen to what he said in cut one, he didn't just insult Palin, he insulted McCain. He referred to McCain as a dead fish, a dead old fish. Now, folks, this is a mean guy. Don't forget, this is the guy in a debate with Mrs. Clinton, flipped her off, flipped her the bird by virtue of scratching his face that way, and the audience that saw it laughed. This guy gets a pass at being a sophisticated elitist nice guy, but I mean this guy is a Chicago thug politician as identified by somebody who would know, and that would be Bill Clinton. Now, here is Obama explaining himself and then, as The Messiah, declaring enough.
RUSH: All right, now, this is the same day. This is last night. This is the same day that Obama makes the "lipstick on a pig" joke and his crowd is out there chanting, "No more pit bull!" So it is very obvious that his crowd knew. They laughed and they applauded his joke. They did not think it was just the standard used political cliche, that is overused by politicians of all stripes. However, his audience -- and this is his problem on this -- his audience laughed. They loved it, and they started shouting, "No more pit bull." So, we're watching a meltdown here I think of seismic proportions. People don't want to refer to that yet, and of course anything can change overnight in politics. |
