8. Of Couse Not....
Rush is silly....

Also, I now think John Elway is, arguably, one of the greatest quarterbacks to ever play the game....

11. Love him or hate him, but here's what JC Watts said today:
Former Republican congressman (and Oklahoma football star) JC Watts gave a pretty scathing indictment of Limbaugh on CNN's American Morning today, saying:

"Athletics is still the one arena, I think, that exists today where you really are judged on your merit. To say that someone's going to bring Donovan McNabb to Philadelphia and pay him over $100 million for six or seven years based on his skin color is just stupid."

14. I'd Never Thought I'd See The Day......
...that J. C. Watts called Rush Limbaugh stupid. And I never thought that I would agree with Watts.

9. Good. Cuz Pigboy keeps upping it:

Can you believe the audacity of this man?

"Rush Limbaugh insisted Wednesday he had "no racist intent
whatsoever" in saying the media have overrated the Philadelphia
Eagles' Donovan McNabb because they want to see a black quarterback
succeed.
In fact, the conservative commentator said he must have been right;
otherwise, the comments would not have sparked such outrage."

12. We don't care about 'intent' when your instincts are left un-checked!
There's really no excuse for his pattern of speech.

10. Ford Rocks!
And he's handsome, and has a cute accent, and is an amazing debator.

FWIW,

18. On My First Sight Of Rep. Ford, Ma'am, Six Or Seven Years Ago
He struck me as someone who would one day be President of the United States.

This does not indicate any particular whole hog agreement with him, but he has the "X" factor.

21. I thought so, too.
I predicted here last year that after Kerry/Edwards it would be Edwards/Ford 2012 and Ford/? in 2020. 2020 will be our first black president.

He has some seasoning to gain, and much more wisdom to absorb, but, I have no doubt he is capable of reaching that goal.

17. Rush Limballs gets away with crap by saying heÕs an entertainer and
not a Ònews personÓ. This asshole can say anything and get away with it but the problem is that his listeners consider his words the gospel.
