Poll question: What Award Does Rush Limbaugh Deserve
Edited on Wed Oct-01-03 10:53 AM by DemocratSinceBirth
in light of his comments about Donovan McNabb?


I knew he couldn't help himself....

Once freed from the shackles of the EIB Studio he was bound to say something that would get him in trouble....

He had to resign his job as Sec. Of Agriculture...

10. Feedback to ABC Sports
Might be more effective to provide feedback to ABC Sports, since they own ESPN:

11. "get him in trouble" or get him publicity ?
He seems to have been a bit of a washout at this new gig up till now and now everyone is talking about it/him.

I'll bet people will tune in to hear what crazy/offensive/Rush-like thing he'll say next.

And wasn't that the reason he was hired in the first place ?

He's no Howard Cosell though. Howard got OTHER people to do this into his microphone.

14. He's Just Doning His Job
I don't like the man. But I think he's making these comments just to get attention to himself. He's just doing his job: Getting attention.

16. Well, since his job is to be a boorish racist PigBoy....
... I suppose you're right.

But he's not getting any kind of pass from me. I feel strongly that the NFL Player's Union needs to get involved in this, and put the pressure on ESPN to summarily dismiss Limbaugh.

19. The Hannover Fiste Memorial Award
Hannover Fiste was the witness in the Trial of Captain Sternn in Heavy Metal. After playing with the Loc-Nar on the witness stand, Hannover Fiste pumped up like Arnold on nandrolone and started screaming "Hangin's too good for him! Burnin's too good for him! He should be torn into little pieces and buried alive!"

So basically, the Hannover Fiste Memorial Award goes to the person, either celebrity or not, who's most in need of killin' for the period of this award.

21. The Equine Posterior Award
Given out every year by People for the American Way. I seem to recall that past "winners" include former representative Bob Barr (R-GA), he of the whipped cream and impeachment and Ronald Reagan airport signs. What a guy!

Anyway, any dishonor one chooses ought to be bestowed on Limbaugh. He essentially sits on his butt and A) spreads gossip and B) scorns other people. What a waste of a life!

23. Am I the only one who thinks
Jimmy the Greek got a bum deal. What he said was wrong in the historical sense but to call it racist is/was pushing the envelope. I remember him saying that Black athletes work harder than their white counterparts.

I can only find 1/2 the quote, does anybody have the rest?

And Jimmy didn't have a history of bigoted comments.
