LIMBAUGH DAY 2: THE IDIOTS COME OUT: Gotta love these scandals 'cause of the dumbasses that come out of the woodwork just to opine. John Rocker, the former major league pitcher, appeared on a radio show to defend Rush Limbaugh (surprise, surprise). The question is how will Hannity and Co. spin it? I'm guessing we'll get the ol' "it's amazing to me that liberals can attack Rush Limbaugh, after they defended Bill Clinton for having sex in the oval office."
From the other side, we've got Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie delivering a sanctimonious rant in which he accuses ESPN of "institutional racism" for hiring Limbaugh and airing "Playmakers." This was contrary to the classy way in which McNabb has handled the firestorm.
Now I admit that "Playmakers" is awful, and ESPN has lately been doing a whole lot of pandering to the hip-hop audience, from Stuart Scott on down. But "institutional racism"? Come on Jeff, you've got to come up with more to back that up. It's the sort of thing I'm very much used to hearing come out of the mouths of Brandeis people- and guess where Lurie went for his masters.
