The Fourth of July in tandem with Rush Limbaugh's latest trash talk about the children of the unemployed eating junk food out of their cupboards is producing a disturbing image in my head.
It goes without saying that as a community we are weary of even joking about violence. I was once hide rated (mildly) for suggesting a Senator who was gung ho on water boarding should himself have to suffer water boarding. Still, I can't get this quintessential summer image out of my head, and so I share it with you, as a means of exorcising it.
The image is quite simple. Hundreds of children whose parents have no unemployment benefits to fall back on, are in line with Chinette paper plates. These plates are sturdy, and they need to be. Each child is going to be on the receiving end of a slab of Rush Limbaugh's barbecued fat piggy ass. This summer smoker, over the July 4th weekend has elements of the French storming of the Bastille, because we need to be free of this tyrant.
Accordingly, Anthony Hopkins will resume the role of Hannibal Lechter as he turns an over sized spit with Rush as the featured entree on that spit.
Upon removal from the spit, an apple will be placed in Limbaugh's mouth. Mitch McConnell will be tasked with trying to remove that apple using his lips, tongue, and teeth. This should make for a fantastic photo op.
Michelle and Barak Obama may attend this Independence Day shindig, provided they do that affectionate terrorist hand bump/fisting thing for everyone assembled. Members of John Gotti's Gambino Crime Family will provide the fireworks for this gala (no permit for the fireworks or for the right to close down the city block necessary.)
