We’ve been watching quite a few fundie/winger heads explode over the last couple of days, as President Obama has used his pen to undo the secret society of the Bush Administration. Hillbilly Heroin procurer and all-around fetid radio gasbag Rush Limbaugh has been on a tear. I’m beginning to wonder if the guy is going to have a stroke from the stress-outs he’s having.
First, look at this nonsense—after Obama’s executive order restoring the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) to its pre-Bush state, requiring fed agencies to err on the side of openness when the public requests information rather than secrecy, Rush filled a pantload. (Think Progress):
LIMBAUGH: What I’m afraid of is that what Obama did with this executive order is actually make it easier for the media to go get Bush documents. Because you know Pelosi and some of the guys over in congress are talking about war crimes trials and charges and so forth. […]
What I’m afraid of is what Obama’s done here is made the gathering of the information for this kind of stuff– This is not American. This is not America. This is not what America does. We don’t– This is Banana Republic kind of stuff.
No, we’d rather remain under the thumb of criminal leadership like Dick Cheney and George Bush, who should be offered guest suites at Gitmo.
The Sultan of Right Wing Slop then went on with his boy Sean Hannity and he and the Faux News talking head were shooting the breeze, whining about how the people “don’t know what Obama is,” and dredges up the “radical associations” of the former Illinois senator. Read and watch after the jump.
