Did Rush Limbaugh call Chris Christie gay?

Nov. 9, 2012 3:11pm Eddie Scarry

Washington Post columnist Kathleen Parker may be seeing something nobody else saw at the time or something that was never there.

Conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh criticized New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie last week for publicly praising President Obama and his administration’s handling of the Sandy storm relief effort. Limbaugh said Christie was acting as Obama’s “Greek column” heading into the election.

In her Wednesday column, Parker interpreted Limbaugh’s remarks:

Obama and Christie suddenly were having a “bromance.” Notably, Rush Limbaugh referred to Christie as Obama’s “Greek column” and questioned their “man-love.” Could his insinuation be any more clear?

Parker is tying Ancient Greece and the word “man-love” together apparently to demonstrate that Limbaugh was calling Christie gay (tongue-in-cheek or otherwise).

Parker doesn’t answer her own insinuation in the column but a quick Google search shows that only two other relatively obsure blogs interpreted Limbaugh’s remarks in that way.

We’ve emailed to be sure that’s what she was getting at and will update if she responds.

My question is WHAT is Kathleen Parker trying to insinuate? Is SHE a homophobe? What if Christie did feel pangs in his manhood for his hero Obama? There’s nothing wrong with that. What people feel about one another is their own business. It sounds like she’s trying to say two men who feel attracted to eachother, or one man being attracted to another man, is something worthy of mockery. When in fact it’s just a normal act of nature. I want full answers from Ms. Parker. How dare she!!!

Sorry, I don’t get gay out of that remark but I do think Christie is pursuing brownie points. Aren’t they all at this point? I wonder if they get paid for brown-nosing? Probably. What a bummer of a job. Christie has always been a joke. Obama takes worship seriously, especially when it’s his own.

No one reads this woman, anyway. She’s completely irrelevant.

I lost all respect for Christie when I seen his actions with B.O. He’s a joke to me now!
