"Do you remember how the news media warned Bush how they would go after him if he even dared to mention 9/11 in any of his campaign speeches or ads?"

"Do you remember those admonitions? Do you hear any similar admonitions against President Obama as he runs around and practically campaigns with the corpse?"



It's Rush Limbaugh on his show today:

... ladies and gentlemen, our brave young president has added his heroic killing of Bin Laden to his campaign stump speech, which means he's practically dredged up the body of Bin Laden so he can campaign with it.  "Obama and Bin Laden Appear in El Paso," is an appropriate headline.  It's kind of like, do you remember the movie Weekend with Bernie, did you see that?  Well, I'm starting to think that the way Obama is talking, everywhere he goes he's gonna be taking Osama with him, gonna be reminding everybody how heroic he was and how uniquely intelligent he was.  How all of these people tried to get Osama but only he, Obama, pulled it off, an event that we have memorialized in our Club Gitmo merchandise line at the EIB Store. (interruption) Whoa, whoa, whoa -- don't tell me that. 

My friends, a staffer just said to me that the way I'm recounting this, comparing this to 'Weekend at Bernie's' and so forth, that this is distasteful. No, look, what I am doing is no more tasteless than what Obama himself is doing on the campaign. 

So... what do you think?

Make a taste judgment.
	Obama and Rush are both within a decent realm of political speech.
	Obama has stooped below the presidential level, but Rush is doing fine for talk-radio purposes.
	Obama is speaking appropriately, and Rush has fallen below a decent taste level for talk radio.
	Both men need to raise their taste level.
