And they did this by inviting Michelle to present an award? But that invitation was sent two weeks before anyone other than the Academy&#8217;s outside accounting firm knew who the winners were.<\/p>\n<p>What makes Limbaugh think that the Obamas care whether or not Zero Dark Thirty won is never explained. Even worse, Limbaugh thinks that President Obama wrote Lincoln &#8211; about himself! And everybody knows it? What part of that film depicts anything associated with Obama? As close as I can figure it is just Limbaugh&#8217;s fantasy that Obama will meet the same end as Lincoln.<\/p>\n<p>A little later in his rant, Limbaugh totally loses his mind. He confesses that <em>&#8220;I can&#8217;t figure Twitter out,&#8221;<\/em> and elaborates on that for several minutes. He also discusses the old <em>&#8220;1984&#8221;<\/em> TV ad for Apple, about which he says <em>&#8220;you can&#8217;t find this ad on the Internet.&#8221;<\/em> He is referring to this one &#8211; that I found on the Internet:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"480\" height=\"360\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/BxShzoUjiAQ\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Limbaugh manages to find similarities between the dour Big Brother character in the ad with Obama&#8217;s cheerful and positive presentation on the Oscar broadcast. And he speculates that the Oscar gig was <em>&#8220;a giant propaganda effort by the White House to put <\/em><em>&#8216;Moo-chelle&#8217;<\/em> up there,&#8221; and that <em>&#8220;this was the opening salvo of a Michelle Obama for president effort.&#8221;<\/em> Somehow, he doesn&#8217;t find any irony in the fact that he is stretching reason to cast Mrs. Obama as a would-be dictator with robotic disciples, while he forgets that he proudly refers to his own followers as <em>&#8220;dittoheads.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>If there was any doubt before, it is now indisputable that Limbaugh is in an advanced stage of dementia, perhaps brought on by age, Oxy-Contin, and\/or exposure to dangerous levels of Teabaggery. His abnormally enlarged ego couldn&#8217;t be helping matters either.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rush Limbaugh entered the post-Oscar analysis circus to add to the ludicrous accusations directed at the First Lady&#8217;s perfectly harmless appearance to present the award for Best Picture.
