It aggravates me to even think about posting a link to Rush Limbaugh, so I'm not going to. If you want to hear it straight from the jackass's mouth, you can, on YouTube...
To summarize, for those who may not have heard, he essentially went after Michelle Obama who's actually trying to do something about obesity, with the power she has as First Lady, for not looking like a swimsuit model and for eating ribs while skiing on vacation in Colorado. How could she?! What's next, chastising her for allowing one of her daughters to eat a piece of cake on her birthday? As if she's perfect, and one meal is representative of how she eats as a whole. And what about her arms. The woman is built and could take him out in less time than it takes for him to get up off his ass. Not only that, but this comes from an overweight, cigar puffing "conservative" who was openly against drug use, yet doctor shopped enough pills to the point where he is almost completely deaf.
But that's the name of the game and these zealots know how to play it to get the attention they need. They blow an issue out of proportion with cherry picked information, passionately overreact to it, and then wait for everyone to respond to their outbursts. And we do. They get under the skin of many with their over the top self righteousness, while we give them higher ratings and bigger bank accounts. What's unbelievable though are the supporters who actually give credence to the feigned outrage and would jump off a cliff if they told them to. It's time to call them out on their bs and pull the plug.
