RUSH: Did you see this? This is a tweet from TheHill.com.<\/a> \u201cMichelle Obama to lead female celebrity dodgeball team in ‘Late Late Show\u2019 face-off.\u201d Now, wait a minute. I thought dodgeball had been banned because it\u2019s scary, it\u2019s exclusionary, it\u2019s dangerous, it causes concussions and then CTE and then Parkinson\u2019s and Alzheimer\u2019s disease. And not everybody\u2019s as good at it as other people are so it\u2019s unfair. So I thought dodgeball was actually the epitome of many evils the Democrats see throughout society all rolled into one game.<\/p>\n

It was just last week — that\u2019s right — it was just last week dodgeball was declared a game of oppression, a game of bullying. Have you ever played dodgeball? I played dodgeball in, what was it, grade school, junior high. It was fun. You got people lining up throwing these balls that are about three-fourths, three-quarters the size of a basketball. They\u2019re hollow. They\u2019re rubber. They throw \u2019em at you. You\u2019re lined up against the wall and you have to dodge the ball. If the ball hits you, you\u2019re out.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

But some people were bullying people, they were targeting the unfortunate. They were targeting the small. They were targeting the fat who were less mobile and there\u2019s bigger territory, less ability to get out of the way. The fat were the first out of the game. The overweight were the first out of the game.<\/p>\n

And then people of color were being targeted. Dodgeball was just, ooh, it was mean, it was horrible, and of course not everybody got to play because not everybody can throw the dodgeball in a way that\u2019s guaranteed to hit somebody. So it was banned.<\/p>\n

Now here comes Michelle (My Belle) Obama captaining a team, female celebrity dodgeball Late, Late Show face-off. Imagine, my friends, if a high profile Republican were to go against the cultural grain like this in such an ostentatious way. Imagine the outrage. Imagine another former first lady behaving this way.<\/p>\n

Can you imagine Melania leading a female dodgeball team out there? Laura Bush? Hillary Clinton? Oh, wouldn\u2019t you love to see Hillary Clinton captaining a dodgeball team? Might be tough to differentiate Hillary from the dodgeball.<\/p>\n

You know, speaking of Melania, CNN, I guess they\u2019ve got a special, the mysterious Melania. Nothing mysterious about her. You just don\u2019t cover her! What do you mean, the mysterious Melania? You don\u2019t cover her! How in the world? She would not be mysterious if you gave her one-tenth of the time that you gave Michelle and continue to give Michelle Obama.<\/p>\n

You can\u2019t play dodgeball. Your kids can\u2019t play dodgeball. It\u2019s bullying. It\u2019s oppressive. It\u2019s exclusionary. It\u2019s mean-spirited. It causes concussions which lead to CTE, which leads to Alzheimer\u2019s and which leads to Parkinson\u2019s and paralysis, you can\u2019t do it. But she can. And I don\u2019t even see where it\u2019s raising \u2013 it may be raising money for something. I can\u2019t find what it is, though.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
