Rush Limbaugh Loves Romney ‘Birth Certificate’ Quip

While most of the media was busy hyperventilating over Mitt Romney’s joke that “nobody’s ever asked to see my birth certificate,” Rush Limbaugh was cracking up on today’s show.

“Right on, right on, right on!” Limbaugh crowed after playing the clip twice.

Why was Limbaugh so excited? Not because of any lingering sentiment for birthers, but rather because, to use his phrasing, the clip indicated that Romney may be “test-driving” an aggressively anti-Obama message, just in time for the Republican National Convention next week. To hear Limbaugh tell it, that convention is likely to seize that gloves-off message with purposeful vigor.

“Then Romney gets up to the microphone, it’s his turn to speak, and he test-drives that line about nobody’s ever had to ask to see his birth certificate,” Limbaugh said. “I’m gonna tell you what. You know, I’m gonna make a prediction for you. It’s gonna be fascinating to watch. The Obama bashing at the Republican convention is gonna be delicious. It’s gonna be five-star restaurant type stuff. I mean, you are gonna loooove it. You are going to eat it up, all the Obama bashing. And I‘ll bet you what’s happening now is the networks are trying to figure out how they can avoid airing any of it, but it’s gonna be tough.”

From a conservative perspective, this is right on, right on, right on, indeed. Listen to Limbaugh‘s triumphant response to Romney’s joke below, courtesy of Mediaite:

      So much for Romney coming across as intelligent. He has to love the comparison to the class clown of the angry mob.

    We all know that my dog’s papers are more legal than those “information sheets” that have been passed around as proof of Ob’s natural born citizen status.
    Everything else of Ob’s is “sealed” and a “big secret”, but for the sake of the history books, will someone prove that his legal name is Barack H. Obama ? Are there legal papers for that name change ?
    ………………or do we have to telephone the Law Licensing Bureau in Illinois ?????

    Rush is right, as usual. Because he has a keen talent for clarity of vision. I give him top honors at the Academy of Wool-Free Vision. There is, apparently, no liberal obfuscation which is not completely transparent to Rush’s eyes.
