Sometimes I think that Rush Limbaugh is the dumbest man in America. This happens whenever I take him at face value and forget that he is basically an entertainer with contempt for his audience.

He will tell them anything. Last week, as if to validate my opinion of him, he went after Michelle Obama for playing the “race card” at the dedication of a museum in New York City. He described her as angry and complaining. The word he should have used was “right.”

Richard Cohen again.

To understand his point of view, drop fifty points from your IQ, then tear up any diplomas you may have earned. Finally, jettison all common sense.

“I guarantee you that right now, there are kids living less than a mile from here who would never in a million years dream that they would be welcome in this museum,” she said. “And growing up on the South Side of Chicago, I was one of those kids myself. So I know the feeling of not belonging in a place like this.”

I would willing to bet that Chicago public schools routinely take field trips to the museum.

...just like all over the country.

Attackers? Since when is defending yourself an attack? Michelle was the attacker. White people were the attackees.

Well, at least the writer knew the word asinine fit on this issue in some way. You can’t fault him for not having the intelligence to know it fit Michelle to a T.

Nothing worse than these Obama lickspittles. They are really a despicable species. How can presumably intelligent people fall for such a monumental mediocrity? They’re simply stunning in their fawning messianic worship of a fourth rate demagogue pimping third world ideas to millions of malleable morons. Let’s face it, any nation that goes from a Washington to a dope head and crack head like Obama in a little over two hundred years deserves what it gets. We’ve become (not us, the remnant, of course) a very mean people who admire the meanest of things and people. Obama is a man of the times for the times. God help us!

Class field trip to the Museum of Science and Industry, Chicago, appears to include several minority students!

One of Mrs. Obama's handlers should have told her that Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney's main purpose in starting a museum was to expose the public (all of the public) to American art.

“...that she has no right being black.”

Mrs Obama is black??? I had no idea because she is so color blind and inclusive. Her husband...what he’s black,too?

It is manifestly obvious that, in spite of her family’s wealth, Michelle was not brought up to be cultured or intelligent. She probably never visited a museum. Her ignorance demonstrates a lack of any educational sophistication. It is most appropriate that she feels uncomfortable in the presence of culture. She sould. She clearly does not belong in such vaunted circles.

Who is Richard Cohen? I guess I have ignored his goofy comments in the past.

This is as good a place as any to point out that the Whitney is home to my favorite painting in the world: "Early Sunday Morning," by Edward Hopper
