Rush plays ‘I like big butts’ for Michelle Obama

You just imagine if this had been Michelle Obama or Hillary Clinton, what if they introduced Michelle Obama to “I like big butts” by Sir Mix-a-lot?” said Rush Limbaugh, about the intro music controversy surrounding Michele Bachmann’s appearance on Jimmy Fallon’s show.

Limbaugh then mockingly ‘introduced’ Michele Obama on his show and played the song for his listeners.

“That’s what we do on this program,” Limbaugh concluded, “We illustrate absurdity by being absurd.”

Earlier today on Fox News, Michele Bachmann demanded that NBC officially apologize for the incident.

“If that had been Michelle Obama, who’d come out on the stage, and if that song had been played for Michelle Obama, I have no doubt that NBC would have apologized to her and likely they would have fired the drummer, or at least suspended him,” she said.
