Rush Upset About Obama’s Armored Limo

The Obama’s fly on separate jets, Rush bellyached this morning.
President-elect Obama
has a “gas guzzling” armored car, not a hybrid, Rush whined. Complete
with thick bullet proof glass, steel re-enforced frame, and special tires to
carry the weight. No green Obama, judged the top wingnut bloviator. In one breath
saying he understands that we must protect our president, but that “the
messiah” is beloved so why is it really necessary?
The photographer noted that the limousine was being tested, possibly for comparison purposes, with a pair of GMC Topkick medium-duty trucks. The limousine seemed to be riding on the same 19.5-inch Goodyear Regional RHS tires as the trucks, indicating that it is far heavier than a civilian Cadillac — even the longest stretch limousines built with the G.M. division’s heavy-duty coachbuilder package. Indeed, it is believed that the limo is based on G.M.’s 2500 line of trucks, which includes an extra-heavy-duty version of the Suburban.
If Rush had kids maybe he’d understand the separate airplanes.
If Rush understood the threat Obama will face as president maybe he wouldn’t
equate protecting a president like Barack Obama with green energy commitments, especially since it’s the wingnuts who escalated the threats against Obama every
time Sarah Palin stood in front of a crowd.
Rush’s rhetoric today is the stuff that helped marginalized the right this
past election season, making right-wing radio a medium part of the problem Republicans
face going forward. Such reckless rhetorical spin that screws people like Rush
right into the ground where he sits, making the Grand Old Party weaker with
every belch.
