Someone suggested to me that to now be critical of the idiotic, racist remarks made by Rush Limbaugh, the conservative radio show host and former ESPN commentator, is tantamont to "shooting a dead horse." I disagree.
Criticism by the public undoubtedly forced Limbaugh to resign Wednesday night from his job with ESPN's Sunday NFL Countdown.
Limbaugh self-imploded with his attacks on Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb. He cannot blame the "liberal media" for his fate.
"The media has been very desirous that a black quarterback do well," Limbaugh said during the Sept. 28 program. "There is a little hope invested in McNabb and he got a lot of credit for the performance of this team that he didn't deserve. The defense carried this team."<snip>
