RUSH: By the way, Barack Obama has recorded a tune, has asked us to play it here on the EIB Network.<\/p>\n

(playing of Barack Obama middle name spoof)<\/p>\n

That is white comedian Paul Shanklin as Barack Obama and I\u2019m Not Ashamed of My Middle Name. For those of you youngsters out there, that\u2019s a takeoff of Ain\u2019t That a Shame by the great Fats Domino from New Orleans. Now, this is about, of course, the warmup act at the McCain rally in Cincinnati. Bill Cunningham went out there and used the middle name of Obama, and the media and McCain and everybody had a conniption fit. ‘How outrageous,\u2019 everybody caterwauled, ‘how unprofessional. We\u2019re not going to sit here and demean the honor of this campaign,\u2019 blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. ‘Stumping for Clinton, Gloria Steinem says that McCain\u2019s POW credential is overrated.\u2019 Yes, feminist icon Gloria Steinem, one of the original feminazis, took the time to stump on Hillary Clinton\u2019s behalf in Austin, Texas, recently, quickly proving that she has lost none of her taste for provocation. She\u2019s 73 now, and she\u2019s up there on the stage. She did agree with the importance of McCain\u2019s time as a POW in Vietnam. In an interview with the New York Observer afterwards, she suggested that Barack Obama benefits and Clinton suffers because Americans view racism more seriously than sexism.<\/p>\n

All right, now, have you seen any outrage over this? Okay. So we\u2019ve got a candidate whose middle name is Hussein. People use it, and all hell breaks loose. ‘That\u2019s right, Mr. Limbaugh, because you know why, Mr. Limbaugh, it\u2019s an attempt to inflict racism and anti-religious bigotry into the campaign.\u2019 It\u2019s his middle name, for crying out loud. Then comes Gloria Steinem, attacking our candidate\u2019s POW time, denigrating it, saying, it doesn\u2019t credential him — by the way, I predicted this, folks. I told you, we get down to pedal to the metal time, the Democrats are not going to be impressed with McCain\u2019s service to the country. It\u2019s going to all vanish, all going to go away. Predicted this. Sometimes it actually disappoints me, makes me mad how right I am. But, you know, you can talk about McCain\u2019s prisoner of war credentials being overrated. I don\u2019t know what she knows about being a prisoner of war, but she is overrated herself and understands that to a T.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
