Whose heart wouldn't break over Rush Limbaugh's humiliation?

..................

You're a college dropout and OxyContin junkie who somehow managed to climb to the top of the media pile. You've made yourself one of the most popular and influential voices in the national dialogue, and that, in turn, has made you rich beyond dreams of avarice. How satisfying that must be.

...............

How cruel to have it all snatched away from you. And why? Because a bunch of black African-American Negroes starts making noise? What reason do they have to be upset with you?

Just because you once called Philadelphia Eagles star Donovan McNabb overrated, the victim of media too eager to see a black quarterback do well?

Just because you referred to Barack Obama and Halle Berry as "Halfrican Americans"?

Just because you told your listeners Obama's economic program is "reparations"?

Just because you once told a black caller to "take that bone out of your nose and call me back"?

2. Smashmouth!

So yes, the rest of us should rally around Brother Limbaugh. If they can deny one rich, racially inflammatory media lout his constitutional right(*) to own a football team, what's to stop them from denying another?

*Miss Authoritiva notes that this constitutional right is somewhat abridged considering the NFL's exemption from anti-trust laws, but whatever.
