In a rant about President Obama, radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh sarcastically said he wanted to thank the president for “appointing a pervert to serve as the safe schools czar.”
Limbaugh was referring to former GLSEN founder Kevin Jennings. Oddly, this was part of a fiery monologue on how the right wing was not extreme. Thanks for proving the point of your critics, Mr. Limbaugh.
