Rush and his puppet masters
Outgoing King George W. Bush summoned his court jester Rush Limbaugh to the White House yesterday to repay the talk show host for doing to the president for eight years what Monica Lewinsky did to Bill Clinton once or twice in the Oval Office.
Limbaugh recounted the private lunch today on his nationally syndicated radio show. It was enough to make a sane person throw up.
King George, who once promised to bring dignity and coats and ties back to the White House ate a peanut butter and jelly sandwich for lunch. I'm not making this up, in the words of Dave Barry. Limbaugh said Bush asked for the red jelly not the purple stuff.
Limbaugh meanwhile ordered the salmon, rice and a salad for their private Oval Office luncheon. He was also given french fries.The Oval Office dining room, with its Clintonian history, was the perfect place given Limbaugh's predilections for getting down on his knees before the Bush royalty.
Limbaugh, who more and more reminds me of the stooge journalist in James Clavell's "Noble House," poked fun at himself noting that he'd accidentally dipped his napkin into the ranch dressing and was chastised by the president.
Bush honored his guest and repaid eight years of the most sycophantic coverage ever by giving Limbaugh a chocolate cake with four candles on it. He never explained what the four candles were for, but I'm guessing those marked the four times in the past eight years that Limbaugh told the truth.
In an effort to tell all sides of the story, you can read Rush's account of the lunch here.
