Cenk Uygur mocks Limbaugh: We’d enjoy a Black James Bond even if it bothers ‘your racist ass’
The Huffington Post reported during an interview with Elba last year that “James Bond” was a frequently-searched term in connection with the actor’s name online. Elba responded by saying, “If I was ever to get offered that role, that would be the will of a nation.”
But Limbaugh rejected the prospect, comparing putting Elba in the role to the idea of white people playing President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama. Uygur pointed out that there were complaints when Craig was cast in the role in 2005 because he has blond hair.
“The question is, why does it bother Rush so much?” Uygur asked, before alluding to conservative reactions to the idea that Santa Claus could be Black.
“I hate to break the news to you, but Santa’s also fictional — we can make him anything we like,” Uygur said. “Yes, normally he was drawn up as a jolly fat guy who’s white. You can make him a skinny Asian if you like.”
Watch Uygur’s commentary, as posted online on Tuesday, below.

I realize Rush is in a terminally drug-induced haze so James Bond is as real to him as Santa is to Megyn Kelly, bless her heart. That's why the OxyMoron says stupid stuff like:James Bond is a total concept put together by Ian Fleming.
He was white and Scottish. Period
Bond was more than stunts. For my money, the only Bond worthy of following Connery was Brosnan. Who cares if he's Irish? All I know is he was better at playing Bond than Connery was at playing Irish. Can you remember a crappier Irish accent than the one he tried to deliver in The Untouchables? It's enough to drive you to drink. Brosnan may not have been Connery, but he wasn't too shabby. He was certainly a hell of a lot better than that Welsh wanker -- Timothy Dalton. I don't know what he thought he was doing. But tongue-in-cheek wasn't working with that guy. He came across more like creepy--something--wrong--with--that--boy if you ask me. Not the kind of guy a woman would want to be left alone with, if you catch my drift. The only mementos he got from blonde bombshells were on the restraining orders he collected.
