Well here is a new one. I watched Rush Limbaugh during his soft ball interview with baby boy Wallace and heard him accuse our President of being a man-child:

LIMBAUGH: And what they're really, really having a problem with out there is that I call Obama a man-child -- a man-child. Oh, they're just freaking out over that. Do you know what a man-child is? I'll -- it hits -- go look it up in the urban dictionary.

I looked it up in the Urban Dictionary, and here's what it says; "A man-child is a fully grown male that acts like a baby. A man-child usually whines, complains, and thinks everything is unfair. Man-children in the workplace can be recognized as one who is always complaining about the rules and/or shows too much emotion."

And Obama is constantly whining and complaining about Bush and what he inherited. He whines and complains about everything. He's a man-child. I'm proud I said it. I'm shouting it: He's a man-child!Mediamatters.com

The description is dead wrong. But it does describe someone else I see on cable all the time:

What the hell is rush talking about? This quote is lifted from Mediamatters.com. Rush of course had been spewing out this crap on the radio before repeating it during the interview. First, his descriptions of President Obama are flat out wrong.

No other conservative I have seen on cable or on the web has described Barack Obama as a whiner or a complainer. He is attacked for not showing more emotion. And rush describes him as demonstrating too much emotion.

I swear, these Nazis test descriptions with target audiences first and then see if they 'play out'.

Anyway, I could not let it go so I went to the Urban Dictionary, whateverthehell that is and found:

 

A young boy that hits puberty early and has features of a man. Also known as Man-Child Syndrome, this disease affects a few children every day and causes them to feel out of place in the world because of their ridiculous strength, looks and the ability to get older women. http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Man-Child%20Syndrome

Then I just 'googled' the damn term and found this:

 

We all know the type. He hits middle age and suddenly he's Jack-the-lad again. He's done marriage and divorce. The kids have grown up and gone. He's got time and money to burn -- and he wants to have serious fun. Not for him a slow descent into old codgerdom. Oh, no -- he wants to be a Manchild.

And can you blame him? Nobody likes to feel washed up, at least not at 45. Manchild is simply trying to salvage the flotsam of his youth.

He seeks refuge in cars, bikes, girls and unsuitable clothes.

Unsuitable because, frankly, your average middle-aged bloke is more of a Jeremy Clarkson than a Mick Jagger.  http://women.timesonline.co.uk/tol/life_and_style/women/style/article877250.ece

I was wondering what the political purpose of this latest rant of rush could be. I know that if you repeat a line over and over and over again--assuming you have an audience of millions--that it will eventually catch on.

I mean, why doesn't he just label my President as a Pontiac, or a wagon or a canoe?

Is there anyone in the world who is as wealthy and powerful as rush, who insists on complaining as much as he does?

He complains about taxes, he complains about election results, he complains about poor people, he complains about welfare, he complains about women, he complains about black quarterbacks, he complains about those who wish to improve the human condition, and he complains that he cannot buy a football team. He complains about black people being too successful, he complains about women being too successful, he complains about liberals being too successful, he complains about moderates being too successful....

The complaints from this billionaire never stop.

I mean, according to his own definition he is describing himself; and Glenn Beck of course.

Except rush has defined man-child in a manner heretofore not recognized.

There is really no point to this blog. Not really. I am just flummoxed by this new tirade.
