Limbaugh and the Bain/Bane Batman Conspiracy
Posted: Thu Jul 19, 2012 10:10 pm
It is the time of the silly season in politics. A little background: The new Batman movie features a villain named Bane, who first appeared in a Batman comic in 1993. The script has been in development since at least 2009. But according to Mr. Limbaugh's rhetorical question, this summer release could have been part of giant Hollywood conspiracy to ruin the Romney campaign.
Limbaugh said "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's been known - summer 2012, for a long time: Do you think that it is accidental, that the name of the really vicious fire-breathing, four-eyed whatever-it-is villain in this movie is named Bane?"
Of course it's not an accident, Rush! When a script first goes into development, the studio execs check with their socialist masters and ask if there are any of the villain's names are homonyms for companies that Republican presidential candidates have run. Only those scripts are green-lighted, if their release dates can be made to coincide with Presidential campaigns.
This, of course, was why the latest Alvin and the Chipmunks movie was black-flagged: because of repeated references to ACORNS.
