Just remember, last time Rush said something stupid while working for a Mainstream TV channel -
He was fired.

Rush Limbaugh is syndicated thru Premiere Radio which is a right-wing organization, which means he can get away with murder and it's up to us to protest the stations that carry him.

Last time he had a permament job working on a Mainstream TV Channel was when he was one of the hosts for ESPN Sunday night football. I think it only took about 4-5 weeks into the season for Rush to get into hot water when he questioned Donovan McNabb's QBing abilities with this classic quote:

""I don't think <McNabb's> been that good from the get-go. I think what we've had here is a little social concern in the NFL. I think the media has been very desirous that a black quarterback do well. They're interested in black coaches and black quarterbacks doing well."


BTW, McNabb went on to have one of his best seasons ever taking the Eagles to the Super Bowl.

1. Not good enough, Limpballs should have been given a
swift and fair trial and executed and Big Eddie should be given a Presidential Medal of Freedom.

3. His malicious quote shows how far out of the mainstream he is.
Normal people like to see others succeed and simply don't think that way.
