Has anyone read anything from ESPN since Rush's admission?
I'm very curious, would like to know what they think about the present situation.

Especially since now they know he was higher than a kite when he was spewing his racist venom.

3. I saw
there original statement. I saw an outside the lines immediately afterwards. The best point being made by Mitch Albom that Rush should have been fired for knowing so little abot fotball as much as being a bigot.

Ralph Wiley wrote a long article on it saying Rush was a pussy for resigning because he should have stayed to eat shit for what he said.

Then the drug thing blew the racism thing off the news.

4. Here is Wiley's article
http://espn.go.com/page2/s/wiley/031003.html

"There was Rush Limbaugh, and then there he wasn't, resigning, quitting on his stool, so to speak. I wasn't glad about it. I wanted more. I wanted to hear Rush talk more football, just so I could laugh, and say, "What's my name?" while piling up the points in front of my friends and colleagues. I didn't want Rush to quit. I wanted him to stand in there and be forced to take it for the full 12 rounds. See how bad it would get -- like when your friend keeps double-or-nothing raising against your pat straight flush.
"
