rush and mcnabb

Ralph Wiley speaks at length about the Limbaugh-McNabb hoopla. It is good reading and it goes beyond some of the thoughts i had.

No, this is what Rush's resignation was:

"All this has become the tempest that it is because I must have been right about something," Limbaugh said. "If I wasn't right, there wouldn't be this cacophony of outrage that has sprung up in the sports writer community."


If he argued about it, people could have argued back. Here, he closes his position in the debate entirely - which is precisely his style. Anyone who disagreed with him to begin with will still disagree, but the people who buy what he's selling will eat it up, and champion him for having proven once again how wrong-headedly liberal the media is.

("According to Arbitron's Spring 2003 survey, Rush was number one in eight of the top 10 radio markets." Damn that liberal media.)

Liberal media or no, Rush gets the ratings. Stations would play fart sounds if that's what people listened to

Maybe the Beach Boys could do a reunion album.

Yeah, I'd just anticipate that at some point, the fart sounds would admit that they are the media.
