Time for the Crazies

And as we all know, Rush Limbaugh can be as crazy as they come.  He is getting his reality mixed up with fantasy.  Yesterday on his radio show (and why does he still have one??), he made this conspiracy theory:  The villain in the new Batman move is named Bane and it is a "purposeful" attempt to equate villainy to Romney's Bain capital, and it will influence voters."  Now, he thinks that the moviegoers are all "a lot of brain-dead people, entertainment, the pop-culture crowd. And they’re going to hear ”Bane” in the movie, and they are going to associate Bain."  (Entertainment Weekly)

Why is he worried about the brain-dead?  And really, it is not like they changed the name of the villain just to associate Bane with Bain.  The villain has been around since 1993, first appearing in "Batman: Vengeance of Bane #1". (WIKI)  Bain Capital has been around since 1984.  Bane, "although primarily a villain, ... is a complex character and has worked to take down drug lords." Bain "is one of the world's leading private investment firms managing approximately $65 billion in assets under management." (Bain Capital)

Not sure there are two many similarities between the two.  Now, Bane "has sometimes had Batman's financial backing and direct assistance."  Perhaps, Bain Capital and Batman have more in common?

Doubt that.
