Cow squeezin’s
christ. Okay, once we get past the comedy of Rush Limbaugh saying we get butter from the squeezin’s of cow gizzards or whatever, this “the Left is to blame for obesity” just pisses me off. That’s what happens when you look at everything through one lens, everything’s about politics. The Left is not responsible for obesity in America, you dolt, human nature plus the free market is responsible for obesity in America.
And even forgetting that idiocy: yeah, Rush, that’s the problem we’re inflicting on the poor: we’re just feeding them too damn much. They’re poor and desperate because our hearts are just too big. How’s anyone ever gonna get off welfare if they’re stuck in their trailers while armed federal agents shove sausage and biscuits and gravy down their throats.
I don’t have the fortitude required to watch the video in that story. Someone gotta tell me if it’d piss me off as much as I think it would.
Edit: Rush has the full transcript on his own website. Sheese, even Nagin had the sense to backpedal from Chocolate City.

I’ll have to dig out my copy of Al Frankin’s Rush Limbaugh is a Big Fat Idiot to verify, but didn’t Rush admit — on the air — that he once lived off Welfare and got fat during that time from eating nothing but chips and other junk food?
Not sure what my point is now, other than this: Fat Is Cheap. Rush and I are living proof of that.

Yeah, here it is… pages 15, 23, and 24.

To be far, Rush’s butter is made of cow intestines.

And, in a related story from the other side of the pond– the British government decides to stop fat people breeding.

Someone feel free to forward this classic 1957 educational film to Rush:
“This is the Dairy Industry”
