I too saw that interview, and the “ears” subject was just one in a long list of things which Clayton mentioned.
His point was, does it make any difference to talk about: the flag pin, Rev. Wright, Bill Ayers, the fist bump, etc etc.??
The first time Clayton asked, Limbaugh seemed to not hear the question, and then when the question was repeated, it was just about the “ears” ... and left out the other subjects..... even though the ears were the most irrelevant and silly thing to include.
It was a legitimate question that unfortunately got shortened and twisted around
Yes, it was sort of an awkward interview. Limbaugh’s interviews on Fox & Friends usually go extremely well.
This one, it seemed Limbaugh had a hard time hearing the questions, and that’s what seemed to make it fall flat.
Rush heard the question and answered it!
Rush said he was responding to a column by Maureen Dowd.
He wasn’t just bringing Obama’s ears up for the heck of it.
My beef is that Monday morning (this morning) Clayton brought up the story again WITHOUT including Rush’s response.
Not really anything that happened on Sunday.
The way it worked out made it seem that somehow Rush was usually talking about Obama’s ears, or that somebody on the conservative side is, which isn’t the case.
Otherwise, why asked about if it make sense to talk about his ears, and ask it of Rush - the absolute icon of conservative talk radio?
To put it in with substantive issues such as Wright and the flag pin etc is also wrong in my view.
Mort Kondrake wrote an important piece questioning “Who is Barack Obama?” That’s the burning question and his ears don’t relate to it whatsoever, but Wright and the others strongly relate.
Morris needs to get his head on straight or he’s going to tick off a lot of viewers that FNC is lucky to still have.
