So much hate this week from liberals directed at conservatives. I need something to laugh at, and maybe you do, too.

Some funny stuff here from Rush Limbaugh, the cheeky El Rushbo, from his radio show broadcast on April 13. You can read the entire transcript on his website for the next few weeks. If you’re a member of his 24/7 club, you can read it and anything else in the archives indefinitely.

Rush Limbaugh, EIB network transcript, April 13, 2009 (yes, it’s tongue in cheek… or is it?):

RUSH: I want to single out today, Jonah Goldberg at National Review Online for being the first that I saw to have the proper reaction to the rescue of Captain Phillips from the merchant marine organizers, and that was to congratulate President Obama for a job well done. And I think we all must agree, folks, that when Obama does something right, we gotta go out there and we’ve got to acknowledge it. We gotta say he did a great job, and we’ve gotta be open-minded to the fact that Obama’s going to do some good things, and so Jonah Goldberg leading the way here in showing us how this is done.

There have been others to jump on this bandwagon. I would like to not only jump on the bandwagon of praising President Obama for a brilliant rescue, not only a plan but its execution, I don’t think the Navy had that much to do with it. Were Obama not in the White House, who knows, this might still be going on, we might have had some unfortunate American deaths. But we are blessed with President Obama and his administration, their cool hand…

This is eventually going to get solved one way or the other. The standoff between the United States and the merchant marine organizers from Somalia will get solved. I want to predict to you the headline. Well, maybe not the headline, but the first words in the story will be something like this: “Thanks to the cool hand of President Obama,” blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

Rush has some ideas on the upcoming cinema version:

RUSH: I have a preliminary idea here on the movie that will be made by Hollywood that will immortalize this brilliant episode in American foreign policy led by President Obama. We don’t have a working title of this movie. I’m been thinking about President Obama turns on Somali counterparts. The merchant marine organizers, the Somali version of ACORN, and yet President Obama rose to the occasion and saw to it that the Somali merchant marine organizers would not get away with the same tactics that domestic American organizers get away with.

Do you realize the Somali pirates — one way to look at this, the Somali pirates tried to hold us up for $2 million ransom for the captain, Mr. Phillips. The Beltway pirates are looking for $10 trillion from the United States and her people, and even if we pony up the $10 trillion ransom demanded by the Beltway pirates, they still wouldn’t release us. We would still be held captive. So the Somali pirates, the merchant marine organizers, I know three of them are dead, but that’s a small price to pay for advancing the notion that the Obama administration is quick and decisive and cool and can handle foreign policy emergencies (snapping fingers) like that.

So who would play President Obama in this movie? Only one actor comes to mind at the top of my head, and that would be Will Smith. I thought about maybe Danny Glover. I thought about Morgan Freeman, a little bit too old. Will Smith would be ideal to portray Obama.

Who would portray the leader of the Navy SEALs that got the orders from Obama’s sharpshooter czar to take out the merchant marine organizers? Well, again, Will Smith as Barack Obama portraying the SEAL leader that shot the three Somali pirates. By the way, the captain is the one who made this possible. The captain jumped overboard, thereby exposing his naked targets, the four Somali merchant marine organizers. So you have President Obama portrayed by Will Smith, the SEAL leader in this movie that Hollywood will make will also be portrayed by Will Smith as Obama. The captain, Mr. Phillips also portrayed by Will Smith, as President Obama, for jumping over and risking his own life so that President Obama could get the credit for ordering his rescue czar after consulting with the sharpshooter czar to take out the three merchant marine organizers and then capturing the one remaining and bringing him to trial as a criminal.
