Glass Houses
The Washington Post has an op/ed up about the growing trend among Republicans to demonize Barack Obama by using his full name, Barack Hussein Obama.
Radio host Rush Limbaugh, demonstrating his usual maturity, got a chuckle out of the senator's allegedly oversized ears, calling him "Barack Hussein Odumbo." And Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council issued this e-mail alert: "Joining an already glutted field of hopefuls, Sen. Barack Hussein Obama (D-Ill.) announced his candidacy for the 2008 Democratic nomination yesterday."
It occurs to me that fatass, mediocre radio mouthpieces with drug habits and erectile dysfunction shouldn't be making fun of anyone. Of course, neither should people who share a name with an actor best known for his part as a mamma's boy gone waaayyy wrong. Who also ended up being, you know, gay.
