Rush Limbaugh

(Barack Obama)

Due to safety issues imposed by Hurricane Isaac (or a liberal conspiracy, depending on who you listen to), the Republican National Convention has been pushed back one day. Naturally, this means PK's live-blogging of the event will have to wait until tomorrow as well. Some speeches have been dropped while other's have been rescheduled over the next three days. Be sure to join us tomorrow when (socialist liberal weather permitting) we start covering the convention for real.

Heard on Rush Limbaugh's radio program yesterday:

Have you heard, this new movie, the Batman movie -- what is it, the Dark Knight Lights Up or something? Whatever the name of it is. That's right, Dark Knight Rises, Lights Up, same thing. Do you know the name of the villain in this movie? Bane. The villain in the Dark Knight Rises is named Bane. B-A-N-E. What is the name of the venture capital firm that Romney ran, and around which there's now this make-believe controversy? Bain. The movie has been in the works for a long time, the release date's been known, summer 2012 for a long time. Do you think that it is accidental, that the name of the really vicious, fire-breathing, four-eyed, whatever-it-is villain in this movie is named Bane? ... Anyway, so this evil villain in the new Batman movie is named Bane. And there's now discussion out there as to whether or not this was purposeful, and whether or not it will influence voters. It's going to have a lot of people. This movie, the audience is going to be huge, lot of people are going to see the movie. And it's a lot of brain-dead people, entertainment, the pop culture crowd. And they're going to hear 'Bane' in the movie, and they are going to associate Bain. And the thought is that when they start paying attention to the campaign later in the year, and Obama and the Democrats keep talking about Bain, not Bain Capital, but Bain, Romney and Bain, that these people will think back to the Batman movie -- 'Oh yeah, I know who that is.' There are some people who think it will work. There are some people think it will work. Others think -- 'You're really underestimating the American people who think that will work.

(Bain Capitol was formed in 1984, Bane the Batman villain debuted in 1993. The Dark Knight Rises began shooting in May of 2011.)

Rush Limbaugh Totally Looks Like Rosie O'Donnell

I absolutely deny that we hire actors to call into my radio show, even though no one has actually accused me of it, yet.
