Even during the worst of the Bush era, I don't remember anticipating an actual military coup. I was just hoping for a fair election, or the legislative pleasure of term limitations.
Talking Point Memo has a few details on Rush Limbaugh's latest moment of over-excitement, as he considered President Obama's planned trip to West Point, the U.S. Army military school.
Rush Limbaugh may have crossed another line today in his anti-Obama rhetoric -- openly joking (at least, we hope he's joking) about a military coup.
Limbaugh noted that President Obama will be delivering his upcoming speech on Afghanistan, from the United States Military Academy at West Point.
"My question is: Will they detain him?" said Limbaugh. "Hopefully."
What a punk.
Is this how the conservatives and populists intend to engage over the next three years?
