Re: Is he so bad? I'm all ears.
[quote name="Vested Id"][quote name="Toughen Up guy"]Well sure, there's racism in action and then casual racist comments. "Gorilla" is definitely that though. I guess I don't know why the wives of Presidents are fair game for his show. I can't recall anyone giving Barbara or Laura Bush shit.[/quote] I'd have to hear it, I just don't believe he called her a gorilla on radio, or if he did that he meant it as a racial crack rather than "beefy-armed galoot". For example, <a href="https://www.politico.com/blogs/michaelcalderone/0308/Rush_Limbaugh_apologizes_to_Obama.html">here he is laughing at one of his callers calling Obama "Curious George", then apologizing and disavowing after the break</a>. Conservative pundits are given zero grace on that kind of thing. Are First Ladies off-limits? The media didn't spare Janet Reno. I don't know if that's a good example. [quote][quote]you have a point about people not rubbing it in as much as they could with Melania, though the jacket was practically an olive branch[/quote] What do you mean by olive branch? [/quote] She's admitting her goodwill trip was a bullshit gesture. She's the first lady, there's no chance that was an accident.[/quote]
