Item! Conservative blowhard and Viagra mule Rush Limbaugh recently chortled that he mistook Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa for Bill Clinton’s "shoeshine guy" during a run-in at a New York restaurant. This is understandable, given that Rush's prior experience with shoe polish has been limited to minstrel shows.

Although Villaraigosa claimed he was not offended, don't expect Rush to get off so easy when explaining his gaffe to Clinton's actual shoeshine guy, New Jersey Democratic Senator Bob Menendez!
