Can't wait to hear Sheila Jackson Lee foaming at the mouth.
Let's face facts. Michelle Obama is Uppity. Her race has nothing to do with it. She is on an outrageous spending spree and she can't even put her hand over her heart.
You’re right, he DID say it.
And the first thought I had after he said was, “Oh, boy...we’re going to hear the race card played tomorrow!”
I was wrong. It didn’t take that long.
On another thread I wondered aloud ... WHY would they book them at a NASCAR race? They had to anticipate that it might not go well...
...but knowing that ... it’s the perfect opportunity (and the left-wing bloggers are already in “high gear”) to say, “Those rednecks are so disrespectful! The first lady is there for the soldiers!”
Yeah, I heard him say it today and knew it was going to cause a media hubbub. But I think Rush is setting them up. He put the word in context in his very next sentence and made it clear that he wasn’t using it in a racial way. He explained that Michelle’s extravagant travel is going way beyond the expected norm for first ladies, and in that sense is uppity. He’s going to play the audio tomorrow and make them look silly. And all the while they have carried his water for him by calling attention to the notion of her being uppity at a time when people are feeling pretty non-uppity themselves.
