The negroes are coming! The negroes are coming!

Rush Limbaugh was “interviewed” on Fox by Chris Wallace this weekend. (Where “interviewed” = “provided a platform from which to describe his greatness.” An aside: Mike Wallace is far from perfect, but how deeply ashamed he must be of the servile toady who sprung from his loins.)

Anyway, noting that the Obama administration issues new threats to liberty and freedom each day, Limbaugh compares his role in the unfolding political drama—being paid tens of millions of dollars to flail and jiggle in a padded chair and shout into a microphone—to being “in the trenches in a war.” He then goes on to liken himself to Paul Revere.
 
Haha, in your dreams, El Flushbowl! Paul Revere actually got to own an NFL team!

You can view the whole interview here if you’ve the courage to do so. And afterward, please feel free to follow Limbaugh’s precedent and draw flattering parallels between yourself and the soldiers who stormed the beaches at Normandy. Or maybe those who survived the Bataan Death March.

Perfidious Photoshoppery

Via Sadly, No! we learn that NewsBusters called out left-wing propaganda factory Politico because the photos accompanying the Sunday talk show line-up appear to apportion “ugly” along the ideological spectrum:

You don’t suppose Politico’s pic picks might reflect its biases, do you? Let’s break it down . . . Let’s first rank the three men from most conservative to most liberal.  Easy: Rush, Lieberman, Plouffe.  Now let’s rank the three photos from least flattering to most flattering.  Does anyone doubt that the order would again be Rush, Lieberman, Plouffe?

It could be bias. Or maybe Limbaugh really does look like a slack-jawed yokel facing off with a rival over the last sausage at the buffet table, and Lieberman truly looks more Ferengi than human at this point, and Plouffe is boyishly handsome.

At any rate, NewsBusters would have more credibility on this issue if the image immediately adjacent to the post lamenting Politico’s alleged ideological bias didn’t depict Obama looking as if he just realized he’d accidentally stepped on Malia’s hamster:

Still, no matter how many photos they pick through, NewsBusters will never find an image of Plouffe or Obama as unflattering as Limbaugh or Lieberman at their Glamour Shotz best. Beauty is skin deep, but certain levels of ugly must radiate from the soul.
