Most Douche-tastic Of The Week
I’m not one for name calling, but if the shoe fits…
We had three wonderful nominees this week, so I’ll just lay them out in order. First is Rush Limbaugh – the shock jock from my home state of Missouri (that’s right, born and bred in the Bootheel) – who commented about America’s response to the devastating earthquake in Haiti, “They’ll use this to burnish their, shall we say, “credibility” with the black community — in the both light-skinned and dark-skinned black community in this country. It’s made-to-order for them. That’s why he [Obama] couldn’t wait to get out there, could not wait to get out there.” Absolutely brilliant.
But wait, there’s more! Liz Cheney, the woman who has absolutely no reason to garner any attention from the media, yet seems to be on every Sunday talk show, has been raging about President Obama’s softness on terror, and conveniently forgetting important facts that make her the worst sort of hypocrite. We’re less safe, Obama doesn’t use the word “terror”, we should be torturing people around the globe, there were no terrorist attacks under the Bush administration. I guess she thinks that I spent the last eight years making love to my bong and living in mom’s basement. Still not convinced? Check this bullshit out.
Finally, we come to Rudy “A noun, a verb, and 9-11″ Giuliani. First he said there were no terror attacks under Bush (how can you forget the big one, Rudy? It’s how you made your name.) Then, after being called out, he qualified it as no attacks after 9-11. When that didn’t work, he talked about attacks by Muslims. Still being called out, he had to further limit the statement to attacks by Muslims on domestic soil. Oh, and let’s not forget how he claimed that the Shoe Bomber was before 9-11. Shit, it’s just embarrassing.
So let me know who your pick is. And credit for the term “douche-tastic” goes to Marco Randazza of The Legal Satyricon.
