Rush Limbaugh: Oil Spill Caused By ‘Radical Mayans’ (Satire)

By William K. Wolfrum

On his radio show today, political entertainer Rush Limbaugh accused a cadre of “Radical Mayans” of sabotaging the British Petroleum oil rig that exploded on April 20.

I want to get back to the timing of the blowing up, the explosion out there in the Gulf of Mexico of this oil rig. Since they’re sending SWAT teams down there now this changes the whole perspective of this. Now, lest we forget, ladies and gentlemen, the Mayans long ago prophesied that the world would end in 2012. I remember that.

This prediction was strongly criticized by the media, remember? But these hardcore radical Mayans, they’re embarrassed by their ancestors prediction and are trying to take matters into their own hands, because some wild-eyed environmentalists are saying that – left unchecked – this oil spill could be an end-of-the-world type event. What better way to prove your ancestors correct than by blowing up a rig? I’m just noting the timing here.

Limbaugh added that the “Radical Mayans” have failed in their attempt to bring upon the apocalypse, because oil is natural and nothing natural could possibly really be that bad a thing:

You do survive these things. I’m not advocating (that I) don’t care about it hitting the shore or coast and whatever you can do to keep it out of there is fine and dandy, but the ocean will take care of this on its own if it was left alone and was left out there. It’s natural. It’s as natural as the ocean water is.*

Limbaugh also added that people should stop getting so worked up about things like volcano blasts, tornadoes, tsunamis, massive earthquakes, oil spills and other disasters because they’re “natural” and probably won’t affect him too much, anyway.
