Well …. there is this from the festering pus-sack attached to a perfectly fine pilonidal cyst:
Conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh on Tuesday suggested that Hollywood liberals have been plotting for years to release the third and final Batman movie before the election in 2012 with a villain who’s name sounds like GOP hopeful Mitt Romney’s former company, Bain Capital.
“Do you know the name of the villain in this movie?” Limbaugh asked his listeners. “Bane. The villain in ‘The Dark Knight Rises’ is named Bane. B-A-N-E. What is the name of the venture capital firm that Romney ran and around which there is now this make-believe controversy? Bain.”
“The movie has been in the works for a long time, the release date has been known — summer 2012 — for a long time,” he added. “Do you think that it is accidental that the name of the really vicious, fire-breathing, four-eyed, what-ever-it-is villain in this movie is named Bane?”
“And now there’s discussion out there as to whether or not this was purposeful and whether or not it will influence voters. It’s going to have a lot of people. This movie, the audience is going to be huge. A lot of people are going to see the movie, and it’s a lot of brain-dead people, entertaining the pop-culture crowd. And they’re going to hear ‘Bane’ in the movie and they’re going to associate ‘Bain’ and the thought is that when they start paying attention to the campaign later in the year and Obama and the Democrats keep talking about Bain — not Bain Capital — Romney and Bain that these people will think back to the bad man.”
Nobody could have predicted. Oh wait, yes, they could…
Obviously, I didn’t shoot low enough…

Man, all that rant is missing is “WAKE UP, SHEEPLE!”
So apparently this has been a liberal conspiracy 19 years in the making.
Love the reveal in the last ¶ — the susceptibility of dittoheads.
Wait! What?
I know Lush Rimjob is fulla shit, but does he know what the definition of “bane” is??
Calling the Hollywood LIEbrul leftwing CommieSochulistFascistNazi conspiracy to the White Paging Telephone! Dead Breitfart needs to give you a big fat TALKING TO!
Outside of the 27% that is hopelessly lost to reason and rationality, how brutal will the backlash be when/if the deluded masses, the ‘low information voter’ crowd realizes how abusive the RightWingOverlordz have been. Their shame at being chumped so well, for so long- the rebound may be pretty fucking awesome! All those gun-toting, pissed-off, desperate folks learning that the 1% views them as Soylent Green.
Please, nobody tell him where we hide the time machine.
Thank your lucky stars, Rusty, for those brain-dead people, for without them, you wouldn’t have an audience.
Limpballs obviously doesn’t realize – Bain Capital is the Lord Foul’s Bane of this earthly dimension.
Perhaps you should be worried that you are this plugged in to the wingnut mind.
So, Limpballs just insulted anyone in his audience who plans/planned on seeing this movie; this is supposed to be the usual Hollywood blockbuster, so he sure slapped a lotta birds with just one stone. And we all know how tolerant of insults the average Limpballs listener is. Cog Dis clean-up in aisle 9!
Silly Ogami. That was obviously written retroactively by George Soros.
Our mother said not to put Bains in our ears,
Bains in our ears, Bains in our ears…
So you’re writing for RushBo now?
“a lot of brain-dead people, entertaining the pop-culture crowd.”
Outside of, you know, his audience.
Hold on, my shoe is ringing…..
Liberal conspiracy 19 years in the making? Don’t forget it started with the false birth announcement in the newspaper 50 years ago.
And didn’t well-known Hollyweird Lieberal Kevin Costner refer to someone’s “mitt” in Bull Durham in 1988? Think THAT wasn’t pre-meditated to make Americans think of a dirty, floppy hunk of leather 24 years later? Wake up.
The Bain-ality of evil.
that’s a good one, boss.;)
Baron Harkonnen stays up late at night imagining how many of his dittoheads actually believe the crap he shoots out of his pustules.
Thanks for that image, cousinitt. I may never be able to watch or read Dune without thinking of the self-propelled gas bag after this.
Of course I’m jealous!
Aren’t the movie villains just characters that were created in the comic books? I’m not familiar with Bane in the Batman canon, but I haven’t read the comics in decades. I’m assuming the character’s been around for a while and wasn’t created specifically for the movie.
Bane was Poison Ivy’s sidekick in “Batman & Robin” in 1997. That’s some advanced planning, yeah, boy, howdy. Nostradamus couldn’t have done any better.
After a little research, Bane first appeared in Batman in 1993. Apparently, the filmmakers borrowed the time machine that Obama used to put a birth announcement in the Honolulu paper and took a slight side trip to the HQ of DC comics on the return to the present.

Iz okay – you’ll get past it. Just as I did with Seven Pillars of Wisdom after that idiot #@*(@$_) *#@_@#&$_@#)$ Howard Hunt.
“The movie has been in the works for a long time, the release date has been known — summer 2012 — for a long time,”
Yes, yes it has Rush. In fact, much longer than anyone even knew that Mitt Romney was going to be the presumptive GOP nominee for 2012. Moron.
If “names” and their “meanings” have any effect on elections, how did a guy with the middle name “Hussein” get elected, anyway?
And another thing! Didn’t the RWNJ try to claim the original Dark Knight film: Batman Begins as an example of their idea of a good, conservative icon? Or am I just high?
Rush has a point.
I wake up covered in liver the morning after seeing fava beans at the market.
I learnt how to kosher chicken livers not too long ago. May I be of service?
Well, it’s like this. Rush’s listeners are the goddamn stupidest motherfuckers who ever lived-that’s the level of person he’s used to dealing with. So the idea that people’s minds can be controlled by some character in a comic book movie makes total sense to him-isn’t everyone that stupid?
Don’t worry, he thinks the controls are in that Etch-A-Sketch over behind the toybox.
The movie was long in the works before Willard got the nomination, purely a coincidence.
Unlike the Hindenburg, whose spectacular crash predated by 14 years the birth of the flaming Nazi gasbag of rabies radio.
I think it safe to assume that El Rushbo believes that a lot of his own listeners will attend the movie, since he clearly thinks a lot of those listeners are contending with Doug Feith for the title of Stupidest Motherfucker On The Face Of The Planet.
Also, too – TBogg is a precognitive genius.

The fact that they aren’t even spelled alike will no doubt completely elude the wingnut “base.” So much for the alleged superiority of home schooling….
I knew that son of a bitch Bruce Wayne was just another class traitor RINO

We’re talking about a drooling demographic that takes every song with ‘USA’ or ‘America’ in it as a giant USA #1 foam finger of Murka, Fuck Yeah! without bothering to listen or interpret any of the lyrics, e.g. Born in the USA, Little Pink Houses, Fortunate Son.
Analysis isn’t exactly their strong point.
Yeah, I know. But you have to keep in mind the little thought balloon over my head as I was writing this, envisioning the local fundamentalist X-ians picketing the movie, and not “getting it” when the “libruls” referred to them as “morans.”
We knew Jiggles McOxyblob would join the fray when mittbot had such an awful week. This is just more Sunununu-type shiny object distraction.
I had not planned to see this movie. Now that I have come to learn it is anti-gop, Im in for opening night.
It’s an even bigger, vaster, more far-reaching, conspiracier conspiracy. Batman first appeared in Detective Comics in (Dramatic Gopher sound effect) 1939!!!! That wily old FDR…
In 1939, George Romney went to work for the American Automobile Manufacturers Association, thereby launching his career in the car business, which led to the birth of his wealthy and privileged son Mitt in 1947, which led to Mitt’s eventual huge wealth derived from Bain Capital, thereby setting him up for attacks that suggested he was a heartless plutocrat.
Meanwhile, FDR was planning the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, which led to the eventual economic boom in Hawaii that brought Obama’s mother to Honolulu, where the fake birth announcement could be planted in the paper.
The Batman franchise continued to grow in popularity, peaking with the current series of movies, and VOILA!! A villain named BANE!!
As you can see, it all works together like a fine Swiss watch. You just have to know how to look at these things.
And they introduced Bane in 1993, which was, of course, the first year of the Clinton administration. Even then they were preparing for a permanent Democratic majority. Clinton just miscalculated – he expected that Romney would be the nominee in 2000 and wasn’t expecting Bush to come from nowhere. If he had, then the big Batman villian would have been “The Shrub”, a sentient pricker bush, because, admit it, everyone hates those.
Seriously – is there any other reason for why Batman & Robin exists that actually makes sense?
Jump to the latest movie – Nolan turned in the first cut at a script in 2008. Even before Obama was elected, Nolan was preparing the way for his relection.
Wake up sheeple! We are all being played for fools!
Coming soon…Rush Limbaugh, starring in “The Dork Knight Gibbers…”
If Bane first appeared in Batman comics in 1993, that means… that those Ee-vil LIEbrul Comic Book Makers of Murka® (subverting our children since 1948) were actually trying to derail Mittens’ 1992 Taxachusettes Goobernatorial Campaign! RETROACTIVELY!!!!11!!!11!one!
Wheels within wheels, man! Oh, that tricky Islamocommiefascistsocialmalist!
Thank goodness Romney won the nomination. Otherwise Batman would have been up against a villain named Santorum!
If Liberals are so good at long-rage planning, communications strategy, use of the mass media and pop culture to achieve political ends and so forth, surely we can run your fucking healthcare and pull the country out of an economic recession?
No?
Seriously. Conservatives are hilarious. Liberals are at the same time wholly inept and completely dastardly and efficient. We’re peacenik, daisy-chain stringing effetes offering therapy and compassion to our enemies, or else we’re rabid moonbats viciously assaulting those innocent, gun-toting Teanuts and we riot every time three of us are gathered in the same place.
CAN’T HAVE IT BOTH WAYS, ASSHOLES. Pick one. For God’s sake.
You know, I think you’re on to something there. Romney hasn’t secured the nomination yet, though! There’s still time! If the Republicans were smart (wink*wink) they’d nominate someone else in Tampa, thereby throwing a wrench in all of liberal Socialist Hollywood’s dastardly plans!
To the battlements, Wolverines!
Bwaaahaaaaa!
Only Batman can stop Santorum from spreading!
As an atheist, I love how on the one hand I’m part of a small, insignificant minority, and then in the next breath I’m part of a group of people who are a threat to the American way of life.
Obligatory “Eeeeewwwww.”
Now that would be an explosive action film.
Obligatory pop culture reference:
“…and don’t call me Shirley”
OTOH, the Bain as Bane look suits Romney quite well:
Link NSFW language (although, if you’re already here, that’s probably not a huge concern)
I knew something like this was going to happen, and I’ve known since 1993, when Martin Landau and Barbara Bain got divorced. Suspicion? Improbable. But has Ms. Bain been vetted? If not, why not? If so, what are they hiding? Her alias was “Cinnamon Carter”. Seems like it should be a clue. The divorce happened just as Mitt was gearing up to challenge Teddy Kennedy for senate. What is it they say? Once is an accident, twice is a coincidence, three times is enemy action. Wait: don’t we have one John Boehner – hiding in plain (!) sight? When did he change the spelling? This is all very disturbing. I’d take on this project, but it’s going to self-destruct in 30 seconds or whatever.
Yes, and don’t forget the dogs and the turtles. The visuals!!!
