Not content with merely displaying rampant hypocrisy in attacking liberals who say offensive things in order to distract from the offensive things Rush Limbaugh has said, Brent Bozell has expanded to launching a really dumb attack on President Obama.
For the past several days, Bozell has been tweeting this message, changing the number of days appropriately: “Obama’s had XX days to decide what to do with misogynist Bill Maher’s $1 million check. It should have taken one.”
First, Maher did not donate that $1 million to Obama; he donated to Obama’s PAC, which by law Obama has no control over. By asking Obama to direct his PAC to do something, Bozell is asking Obama to break the law.
Second, Bozell’s raging hypocrisy again rears its ugly head. Whatever day Bozell lists as Obama having not yet decided “what to do with misogynist Bill Maher’s $1 million check” is the exact same number of days Bozell has had to issue meaningful criticism of Rush Limbaugh’s misogyny, and he has utterly failed to do so. As the man said, it should have taken one.
Why should anyone take direction from Bozell when he doesn’t even have the basic decency to genuinely criticize Limbaugh for the same misogyny he bashes others for? We can’t think of a reason.
