Nothing that comes out of Rush Limbaugh’s mouth should ever surprise anyone anymore. By now, we’re all pretty aware that his racism has no bounds. And he’s well aware of it, too, in his latest rant over why a “Black Brit” shouldn’t play the iconic character of James Bond.

As previously reported, Sony studio head Amy Pascal wants beloved actor Idris Elba (see Luther, The Wire) to star as 007. But no, God forbid a fictional character (as in fictitious or made up and totally not real) is turned tall, dark and handsome. Limbaugh just wouldn’t take it.

“James Bond is a total concept put together by Ian Fleming,” said Limbaugh over the radio waves. “He was white and Scottish, period. That is who James Bond is.”

He further dug himself into a hole when he played “reverse Black-face” and put up for debate white actors portraying (real) Black people like Nelson Mandela. He suggested George Clooney and Kate Hudson play Barack and Michelle Obama.

Dude… what?? Is it just us, or is this guy seriously detached from reality? Peep the f*ckery in the audio clip below. Sound off in the comments.
