This whole thing where Rush Limbaugh thinks Dark Knight Rises villain Bane was named as such as part of a liberal conspiracy is funny, but people are so excited to get angry at Rush they may be missing the real source of his crazed thoughts.

What if this was paid-for marketing by Warner Brothers.

Being a businessman above all else, one can assume Rush would be open to such a thing, especially when it fits his message like this, albeit in a hackneyed manner.

It’s also great publicity for him – like the old days with Howard Stern, I’d guess a healthy amount of his listeners can’t stand him, and more of those same types will be tuning in between now and Friday.

For the Dark Knight Rises, it’s non-marketing-speak exposure that also paints the movie in a sympathetic light of sorts.

I did lots of big boy cardio this morning so I am extra sweaty as I write this.

Also, those are my home wireless passwords – I am in a hurry and that was the first thing I took a picture of. Goodbye.
