Talk-radio host Rush Limbaugh says there was supreme irony and a
possible “conspiracy” in having first lady Michelle Obama present the
award for best picture Sunday night at the 85th annual Academy Awards.
“There was some real irony last night that zipped by and blew by a
lot of people,” Limbaugh noted, saying it was the first time in a decade
he had watched the entire broadcast from start to finish.
“The best picture award last night went to a movie named ‘Argo,’
which was about what? The rescue of embassy personnel under attack in
Iran. The wife of the commander in chief who failed to rescue four
Americans at an embassy/consulate in Benghazi presented it, and talked
about how important it was, and how necessary it is and how great it was
and all that.
“This administration FAILED in rescuing Americans under attack, and
the wife of the president who failed presented the Oscar to the movie
who won the best picture award about a successful rescue of embassy
personnel from Iran in 1979, thereby maybe claiming credit.”
“I can’t get over it,” he continued.

“‘Argo.’ Rescue of six embassy personnel, Iran 1979. Obama: failure
to rescue four embassy personnel. Michelle Obama presents award for best
movie to ‘Argo.’ If you want to look for a conspiracy in any of this,
you focus on that. You talk about irony. This regime still hasn’t come
clean on what happened at Benghazi. They’ve tried to paper that over and
cover that up, blame that all on a video. There hasn’t been anything
courageous in one aspect of Benghazi, and certainly not from the
standpoint of the [Obama] regime. But ‘Argo’ is a movie about the rescue
of six embassy/CIA personnel from Iran in 1979, right under the
watchful eyes of the Ayatollah Khomeini. And there’s Michelle Obama
presenting the award. Best movie, Argo. And her husband didn’t do didley
squat saving embassy personnel in Benghazi.”
Limbaugh said “Argo’s” victory for best picture was a no-brainer, as
the powers-that-be in Hollywood were, in effect, congratulating
themselves for getting involved in the 1979 rescue, since the movie
focused on a phony movie being made in Iran as a ruse to enable the
rescue.
He also said when it comes to the Academy Awards, “The bottom line
here is that the Obamas have been snubbed. They still haven’t won an
Oscar. They’ve won everything else. They’ve won Grammys. They have won a
Nobel Prize. The Obamas have won lifetime-achievement awards … the
Obamas have won awards that haven’t even been created. But they haven’t
won an Oscar. And there were two chances for them last night: the
campaign ad, ‘Zero Dark Thirty’ and semi-autobiography, ‘Lincoln.’
Snubbed. So Michelle shows up, presenting the award.”
Limbaugh also had praise for the talent of “Family Guy” creator Seth
MacFarlane, the host of the awards broadcast, despite the fact
MacFarlane is a strong advocate of left-leaning political views, while
Limbaugh is a champion for the political right.
“There are a lot of characterizations about how he uses it and what
direction he takes it, but there’s no denying his talent, and he’s a
profoundly hard worker,” Limbaugh said of MacFarlane. “I sent him an
attaboy note yesterday morning. I sent him a wish-you-well kind of note.
He wrote back and said, ‘You know what? I kind of understand how you
conservatives feel about the media now.’ Because they were already
proclaiming him the worst host ever before the show had even aired. I
mean, 12 hours before the show.”
