This whole silly mess with Rush Limbaugh resigning from ESPN just stinks. I can't believe Limbaugh would cave so easily. His comments were clearly not racist yet the media is short stroking this all over the place. If Limbaugh wasn't such a high profile conservative this wouldn't be getting half the coverage it has received. How lame. What ever happened to free speech? I guess speech is only free if what you have to say is in line with the ACLU and the Rainbow Coalition.
I'm really disappointed in Rush for quitting after such a little amount of pressure. I listen to talk radio on a regular basis and I do listen to Rush on occasion. He is not my favorite host and I don't agree with him on everything but I do enjoy his program. He just spit on all of his fans who listen to him talk on and on about Republicans and conservatives needing to be more aggressive and not back down though. For shame.
Now we get this whole "Limbaugh addicted to black market pain killers" story. I don't have all the facts on this story so I don't have an opinion on it. What I find funny about this though is that this story was "broke" by the National Enquirer. Since when do *cough* serious journalists and newspapers pay any attention to what the Enquirer reports on anything? Throw a conservative on the cover with a scandal and it's national news.
I'll say this though, if it is true then it's really sad. I'd be disappointed in Rush again and he should be charged if any laws were broken. The media will tear him apart no matter what though. They just love it when conservatives have weaknesses like they're not human or something. Give me a break. If this were a liberal ideologue then they would be calling for compassion and treatment. But with Limbaugh they smell blood in the water.
Thoughts?
