Not as weighty as other stupid ideas, but still heavily idiotic:Limbaugh feels that making Bond black would be wrong.. Though I guess he’s hoping Obama is fictional too.

He was white and Scottish, period.

Who wants to tell Rush that Bond didn’t become Scottish until Fleming’s last two novels? Or that the original screen Bond was American? Or that the second person to play Bond was South African? Or that only one of the dozen actors who played Bond was actually Scottish?
I actually rather like this idea. Not because “it’s time for a black Bond”, or whatever, but because Elba is a great fit for the role.
Black James Bond, in hot pursuit of Ernst Stavro Blofeld in the Aston-Martin Q issued him. Police pull him over, wondering where he stole it…
Which one was South African? I thought Lazenby was Australian?
He was. The Eon films were not the first adaptations of Bond novels. They were preceded by two others: CBS’ made-for-TV Casino Royale, and a South African radio production of Moonraker.
Jaws was not really a shark.
Allen West, Republican crackpot, has declared that racism was dead, dead, dead, in the USA. But mean ol’ Obama says it does, because he wants the nation to be divided.
House Majority Whip Scalise confirms he spoke to white nationalists in 2002
Ok, so it’s more than a 12 year old story, but at the time he was a full adult and an elected state representative. Guy just got a boost up to a GOP House leadership position.
Scalise is claiming he didn’t know at the time that an organization run by David Duke and calling itself the “European-American Unity and Rights Organization” was a hate group. Even Erick Erickson is calling bullshit on Scalise’s claim of ignorance.
If he didn’t know it at the time, what has happened in the ensuing years to clue him in?
Someone found out he spoke at their meeting…
It’s also just a coincidence that he was one of 6 state congressmen to vote against the creation of MLS Day.
I mean it’s entirely possible he isn’t the kind of person that associates with white supremists. He could have been there to tell them they are horrible people… oh nm his excuse is I didn’t know David Duke’s group was a hate group…
I’m sure the GOP will use him as an example they don’t tollerate racists in their ranks. I expect GOP calls for his resignation any day now.
Martin Luther King Day not MLS day…
The problem once again is that the RWers cannot hold the concept of racism in their heads for more than about four minutes beyond the time that you finish trying to explain it to them. It is just like with rape, the idea hurts their heads. This is the only possible reason that a large organization like the Republican party and their ParasiTeas struggle so with this, not even malicious intent could be this ham-handed.
Rep. Michael Grimm (R-NY) (he of the “I’ll break you in half and throw you off the balcony” incident with a reporter) has resigned from Congress after all the usual bluster about how he would never leave, despite admitting to being a miserable fucking human being who didn’t pay his taxes. Maybe he was just trying to be a job creator. Buh-bye, fuckwad.
I don’t think so. The resignation was probably a deal to keep him out of prison. If he was actually added to the prison, perhaps they’d be able to hire a couple of more guards.
From the article:
Does this sound right? Why wouldn’t the judge be bound by the guidelines? Isn’t that what they’re for?
I meant by not paying his taxes. He could write a book about his political downward spiral and call it Grimm Death.
Fox & Friends: “Obama wants to ban cake, Christmas cookies, and sprinkles on donuts.”
I assume Foxnews is going to give this story as much press as the Obama/Jeremiah Wright story.
