We need to stop the hating?  Meaning, the only thing driving the lawsuit against Obama is the Republicans\u2019 hatred for him.  (interruption) He does.  He knows his audience.  The low-information. <\/p>\n<p>You know what?  Speaking of low-information, how many of you have <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B000K7VHOG?ie=UTF8&#038;tag=theoffiwebs0d-20&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=9325&#038;creativeASIN=B000K7VHOG\">seen the movie Idiocracy<\/a>.  Have you seen it, Snerdley?  You really need to find this.  Everybody sings Netflix\u2019s praises.  I can\u2019t even figure out how to log in to Netflix, but &#8212; (interruption) I can\u2019t.  Oh.  Through iTunes I can get in, but I can\u2019t log in anywhere else but iTunes. Look, I don\u2019t want to rag Netflix.  But the search feature doesn\u2019t work, either. (interruption) Okay, they come out with the latest issue of House of Cards. <\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B000K7VHOG?ie=UTF8&#038;tag=theoffiwebs0d-20&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=9325&#038;creativeASIN=B000K7VHOG\"><img id=\"eZObject_94109\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/RushIdiocracy.jpg\"\/><\/a>I\u2019ll just give you an example.  House of Cards hit in February, so I go to Netflix on Apple TV, I put in &#8220;House of Cards.&#8221;  &#8220;Sorry, no results.&#8221;  What is this?  I know it\u2019s there.  You know where I found it?  New releases I might like.  Well, okay, fine, but why doesn\u2019t House of Cards in a search term return it?  Anyway, I take it back.  I love Netflix, I\u2019m not ripping Netflix, it\u2019s fine and dandy.  If that\u2019s how you watch things, great.  Idiocracy.  It is a comedy. A guy falls asleep and wakes up 500 years in the future.  And the idiots, the blithering idiots have taken over the country.  That\u2019s the premise of the movie.  It\u2019s a comedy. <\/p>\n<p>I happened to see yesterday that one of my tech blogs &#8212; I was engaging in my hobby &#8212; one of the tech bloggers had just seen it and was just livid and outraged by it.  His take on it was that the movie equates wealth with intelligence and intelligence with wealth and stupidity with being poor.  He thought that the movie was about eugenics and just getting rid of all poor people so that only the rich, intelligent people would be left. <\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t know how you arrive at that take watching it.  My take on it was entirely different.  But I don\u2019t want to give you my take until you see it.  So I\u2019ll give you a week, and then you tell me you\u2019ve watched it and then I\u2019ll tell you what &#8212; \u2019cause if I give you my analysis and you haven\u2019t seen it, it will destroy your own perception as you watch it.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Oh, by the way, did you see Obama\u2019s reaction to Boehner\u2019s lawsuit today?
