Get Your Hands Off Limbaugh's Penis

Gabriel Winant of Salon quotes Rush Limbaugh on circumcision, which is fast becoming the symbol for the right of what Obama intends to do.

Two days ago, Rush Limbaugh claimed, "It is President Obama who wants [to] mandate circumcision ... And that means, if we need to save our penises from anybody, it's Obama."

So now that we're talking about Limbaugh's penis, all of a sudden, we're in a world where the tiniest measure of government suggestion about sexual health equals a full onslaught against privacy. Expect to see the radio talker at the next march to protect abortion rights with a "Keep your government hands off my private parts" sign.
