“Magic Negro”—What Will Limbaugh Say?

While this weekend’s firestorm over the crude and offensive “Barack the Magic Negro” so-called parody centered on RNC’s top office candidate Chip Saltsman, the person who proudly introduced this crap to Americans was none other than His Conservative Majesty (HCM) Rush Limbaugh—previously a.k.a. the “role model for America’s youth.”

As such it will be interesting to hear how HCM reacts today to the outrage over his “innocent, light-hearted, well-intended, good-humored, satiric” vulgarity.

I have no idea whether the man with talent on loan from God-d will be taking to his broadcast throne today and, if so, whether he will be making an Address to the Nation on this issue or not.

But, let me take a chance and try to predict what HCM may say, if and when he faces the EIB microphone. There are a few possibilities—one never knows how a man with so much talent on loan will handle such a situation. So, in order of increasing probability:

1. Rush will apologize for such disrespect, bigotry and/or “mis-use” of his parody.

2. Rush will not say a word about it

3. Rush will put the so-called parody in so-called context.

4. Rush will:

* Vigorously defend the parody, Shanklin, Saltsman, all those who have defended the indefensible, and of course himself.

* Vigorously attack those losers who have objected to the parody, including bleeding-heart Liberals, the drive-by media, the blogosphere, RNC’s Mike Duncan, Newt Gingrich and other “spineless” Conservatives.

* Probably even play the so-called parody, just for good measure and just to demonstrate how innocent, light-hearted and in good taste it is—and just to demonstrate that HCM answers to no one.

My cup of coffee bet is on the latter, #4.

And the millions of ditto-heads will love him and cheer him on, and the cash will keep flowing in, and Limbaugh and Shanklin will come up with many more innocent, light-hearted parodies about our next President, and all will be well again, now that HCM has explained it all.
