As thousands protest in Sanford, FL, Rush Limbaugh defended the shooting of Trayvon Martin by George Zimmerman as getting a little, overzealous.
Limbaugh said,
Jerry, what Ive read is that Mr. Zimmerman who, again, the New York Times refers to as a white Hispanic and the rest of the media has now picked that up, cause that fits the template. You need white-on-black here to gin this up. I understand. He wants to be a cop. He just loves law enforcement, and hes a self-appointed Neighborhood Watch commander, and he wanted to protect his neighborhood, and he just got a little overzealous and so forth. But we still dont know what the real facts of this are, I dont think. Thats why this is
Its a month ago that this happened, and yet its being portrayed as though it just happened last weekend or something, at least with the attention thats being focused on it. But it really is troubling that there are people trying to fan the flames of this rather than cool it down. I mean at the highest levels. I mean we know who the people trying to benefit from this are, but at the highest levels of our government, you would think with a powder keg like this that people would want to try to douse it, cool it off a little bit. I just dont see any of that.
Limbaughs remarks then turned toward an attack on President Obama and the left for injecting race into the killing of Trayvon Martin.

Limbaugh's knees can't jerk because they are completely encased in rolls of belly fat that flop down nearly to the ground when he sits.
