You work that closet, Rush

[ebonlock]

Let's see what's oozing around Rush Limbaugh's vestigial brain, shall we:

If Obama is seen smoking in public, and it is said because no one wants to criticize him because, he’s above criticism, because he’s a godlike figure to the godless. Now, you don’t criticize gods or godlike figures. What if the whole anti-smoking bunch has to come out, ’cause they’re a bunch of libs too, has to find a way to justify Obama’s coolness? Because he’s got fire. If he’s got fire in his hands, what has he got in his pants?

I...-the fuck? :O

Scott at World O'Crap responds:

Some people accused Rush of flogging that old wives’ tale about the plus-sized loinsabres wielded by African American males, but I think there is some room for reasonable doubt. After all, Mr. Obama is a “Halfrican,” so logicially, his dusky crotch crane could only be 50% larger than a white senator’s — hardly worthy of comment. On the other hand, when Minority Leader John Boehner was recently outed as a heavy smoker, Rush didn’t feel the need to speculate on the size of the Ohio Republican’s over-the-sac-bracket, even though his name is a homonym for “Boner.”

*le sigh* If that is the best he can come up with...
Even Obama admits he should stop. He started when it was still the "Grown Up" thing to do. Travel in all those foreign countries probably set up the mental disposition.
The man is human. Sounds good to me.

I'm still having trouble wrapping my brain around his jump from smoking cigarettes to smoking poles, myself...

I just.. what could they.. WTF???

I think "If he's got fire in his hands, what has he got in his pants?" is my new favorite batshit crazy question ever. I mean that is the kind of thing that pretty much cements the idea that Rush is hitting the pills again.

I mean there's nothing in that conversation that makes any sense whatsoever. I'm surprised this insane babbling is passing as discourse.

It's just.. words escape me here. (More like a frustrated shout of vexation that cannot be put into words.)

Even though the idea of defending Rush Limbaugh is about as appealing as eating slugs...

Limbaugh had just played an audio clip from John W McWhorter (Who?) in which he said:"Obama is seen as very, very cool. I think a lot of people find him sexy, and I think, even in today's America, there's a sense that there's something vaguely sexy about cigarettes; you've got fire in your hand."

So that's what precipitated the sleazeball's jump from smoking to sexual innuendo, and where the "fire in your hand" wordage came from. It's abhorrent garbage, but not random insanity.

I should have mentioned that I got this information from this release by MediaMatters for America.

I got that jump, but what I didn't get was what smoking had to do with Obama's penis. In other words how does "fire in his hand" = "fire in his pants"? I'm just saying that a Freudian could really take this and run with it if they were so inclined.
