Rush Limbaugh eggs on caller who says Michelle Obama looks like 'bowl of mustard' in color yellow

[RamboLiberal]

Once again, Rush Limbaugh can't stop talking about the First Lady's body.

Now he's got his radio audience weighing in about her style choices and what colors she should and shouldn't be wearing.

"Every time I see her and they start talking about how fashionable she is and the colors she wears, I think about that old story, 'The Emperor's New Clothes,'" A caller, who identified herself as Laura from Bremerton, Wash., told Limbaugh, per Mediaite. "Every time (Michelle) dresses in yellow, I keep expecting some little kid to pop up and say, 'She looks like a bowl of mustard.'"

-----

"She never seems to look classy," the husky-voiced caller continued. "She never seems to wear her clothes with any finesse or flair. She just seems to march around like a lumberjack."

1. Limpballs is a fat, racist pig

(My apologies to swine.)

I'll freely admit that Michelle Obama often looks as if she got dressed in the dark, but this has nothing to do with Rush's sudden fashion sense. He just wants to insult her because she's black, and the clothes are a way to do it without appearing (as) racist (as he truly is).

3. But he sure loves the brown buttcheeks of Dominican Republic boys...

"I'm a Dominican Republican," says Rush as he pops another Viagra.

17. More than racism is sexism.

He insults all the left leaning women; Hillary, Pelosi, etc.

Last week he said that Obama had been persuaded to agree to the no-fly zone by the "Nags" in his administration (read Hillary, Rice & Powers).

The man is a nasty pig. He should look at himself in the mirror before daring to criticize anyone else's appearance.

2. As contrasted with the lovely Laura Bush...

who looked like the Joker on her good days.

[Foolacious]

6. Stop that!

Leave Laura Bush -- and other family members of politicians on every side -- out of it. Because Limbaugh does it doesn't make it right to do.

[Beacool]

16. Laura Bush is an attractive woman.

Why insult her? She's not the one attacking Michelle?

:(

[TomClash]

4. Yeah, Lumberjack, sure, sure

[Bake]

9. Yeah, no flair there ... no pizzazz ...

:sarcasm:

The First Lady is DA BOMB (with all due respect)!

5. Bowl of mustard? How about Mrs Barb Bush?

[Foolacious]

7. You're not helping!

Now how do we decry Limbaugh's lack of civility when our side is posting stuff like this??

[ClarkUSA]

8. Lighten up. This is an obscure discussion forum, not a popular teabagger bully pulpit radio show.

[Canuckistanian]

10. "our side"

[Bunny]

11. Oh relax, for chrissake.

Now, just for you, here's a picture of Laura Bush wearing the White House drapes:

12. That Dress Looks Like Marge Simpson's Hair

[Foolacious]

13. My point is not just that it's counterproductive...

it's also unfair. It burns me up when people say nasty things about families of public figures. Suppose someone who has a public disagreement with you starts ridiculing your spouse and kids. Okay with you? All's fair? Suppose they don't do it publicly, just among people they assume agree with them. Then it's okay? Or no?

I think G.W. Bush was the worst president this country ever had, ever. Doesn't justify ridiculing his wife.

And this is not an obscure little thread. Freepers cruise through DU all the time looking for equivalencies. I want any that they find to be false ones.

[RamboLiberal]

14. +1 I'm with you Foolacious

Going after Laura & any other Repub wife makes us no better than Rush

[Beacool]

18. Hear, hear!!!

As I found out the hard way, sexism is OK around here as long as the woman in question is not to the left's liking.

Hypocrisy much?


:(

15. Thinly veiled racism.

This is how it started in 1930a Germany. Little insults grew into big violence.

[tanyev]

19. Real caller or paid caller?

[center rising]

20. Someone ought to chuck a few eggs at Rushie

To cover up that ugly.

21. Hit Job...its a set up...disgusting
