Idris Elba as James Bond?
The casting list for the new James Bond was recently hacked. Idris Elba was on it. He’s British. That works. He’s also black. Some think, because there’s been 50 years of white Bond, there can therefore be no black Bond. Rush Limbaugh thinks not. Limbaugh’s argument is that the real Bond is Scottish (Bond is a fictional character). True. But the only actual Scotsman to play Bond was Sean Connery. Many feel Connery should have been the only Bond. Not due to his Scottishness. Due to his manly-manliness. If that’s the case, an excellent manly-manliness argument can be made for Elba (see the photo).
