Making the kind of sense that doesn't

Media Matters is on Limbaugh's case again. I'm not tired of this by any stretch. The right relies way too much on the regular media's need to be fed new stories constantly; if Limbaugh is so last week, than he is free to spew hate and bile all he wants without getting called on it. Stay the course, David Brock!
Tonight's post about Limbaugh's latest descent into lunacy is great, so great they just linked to his page. Rush knows that for a long time, the Democrats in office in the 90's treated him like their mothers taught them to treat bullies, which is to say, ignore them and they'll go away.
Well, we all know how well that works. And it worked even less when your school administration openly supported bullies, because they could toss a ball around or something. Supporting bullying behavior comes rather naturally to the bullies in the White House, and it's about time someone called them on their shit. And Al Gore was the man to do it. (I know, I'm still reeling in surprise. I may have to watch it one more time to be sure.) He demanded that the White House denounce Rush's support of torture in the prisons; Rush about wet himself to have Al Gore acknowledge his existence.

Just sitting here minding my own business. I'm not bothering anybody. Just doing my job here on the EIB Network, and the vice president, ex-vice president, of the Democratic Party, has demanded today that George W. Bush condemn and denounce me.

Of course, now it's time for the bullshit (beyond the bullshit that he just happened to be sitting there doing nothing and got denounced for no reason). He plays the MoveOn.org commercial where a hood is put over the Statue of Liberty like it was done to that prisoner is Abu Ghraib. He pretends not to know what they mean by it, and acts like they are doing a bunch of inept and incoherent theater:

So that's their latest commercial, and I haven't seen it, but apparently during one of the darkest moments of that commercial is where a hood, an Abu Ghraib hood, is placed over (laughing) the Statue of Liberty. That's what I meant earlier about these people kind of going a little too far. They're really going to persuade people with this.

Okay, I was an English major and therefore maybe quick to pick up on symbolism. But it seems to me that the point was that the Statue symbolizes Liberty (hence the name), which we were going to give to the Iraqis. And the hood symbolizes the way we've actually treated them.
Or maybe he does get it, and it really is funny. I don't see why it was funny, but okay, Rush. I mean, you're right, anyone who doesn't see that torturing Iraqis in lieu of giving them promised liberty is a big fat joke is just a boring liberal.
