According to multiple sports outlets, it appears that Boss Limbaugh has put in an offer to become part-owner of the St. Louis Rams football franchise:
Conservative talk radio host Rush Limbaugh said Tuesday he is teaming up with St. Louis Blues owner Dave Checketts in a bid to buy the Rams, owners of the NFL’s longest current [...]

First, I do want to say that I do want some kind of Universal Health Care. With that being said I have many questions that I want answered about the bills that are out there. There are lies and distortions on both sides, and we rational minded people suffer because of the few. I feel [...]

…Well, according to El Rushbo I am:
I could make an argument that conservatism is closer to Nazism than liberalism, but then I’d be implying that several of my close conservative friends are Nazis and I’d be no better than Rush. So, I’ll just break down Limbaugh’s obviously heavily researched analysis of [...]

In somewhat interesting news, CNN reports that former Republican Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich is backing off his use of the word “racist” to describe Supreme Court appointee Sonia Sotomayor:
“Shortly after President Obama nominated her to a lifetime appointment to the Supreme Court, I read Judge Sonia Sotomayor’s now famous words: ‘I would hope [...]

Two things can happen now. Cornyn could stand by his comments and challenge the Republican status quo that has earned them a solid 21% favorability ranking from voters. But, as the Daily Kos notes, how likely is such a scenario? What gives us the confidence to believe that Cornyn won’t grovel to Boss Limbaugh’s knees and beg for forgiveness like Republicans Eric Cantor, Michael Steele, and Mark Sanford before him?

So what could she have possibly have said to garner the “reverse racist” label? She stated a “wise Latina woman with the richness of her experience would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a white male who hasn’t lived that life.”
Read that again. How could she say she hated white people? How dare she! What gives her the audacity to say such cruel words?
Oh… you mean, she didn’t say that? But that’s what Rush made it sound like! And when Rush portrays someone, you know he’s portraying them as fairly as a credible and reputable media organization like FOX News would!

As all the news networks are doing, O’Reilly began his segment talking about Rush Limbaugh. Essentially, O’Reilly said that the issue of Limbaugh distracts Americans from the real issue at hand, the economy. So, we shouldn’t talk about Rush, we should talk about the economy.
Where was Mr. O’Reilly’s commitment to focusing on current events during the 2008 presidential election? While our economy kept tanking, “Papa Bear,” as Stephen Colbert calls him, had no problem trying to portray Obama as a terrorist sympathizer and a socialist. So, I guess we should only focus on the economy when its convenient for Republicans.

So much for Republican candor. This past Saturday night, Michael Steele, the chairman of the Republican National Committee, said of conservative mogul Rush Limbaugh, “his whole thing is entertainment… Yes, it’s incendiary. Yes, it’s ugly.” On Monday, Steele backtracked from his comments:

Is Limbaugh really that prideful? Would he honestly rather see the country continue to spiral downward into a depression than see it prosper and have to confess he was wrong on the matter? Would he rather see millions of his fellow citizens continue to be laid off and struggle to find a new job, and in doing so have difficulty paying the bills and feeding their families? Those are the implications of a failed stimulus plan. Would he really want this recession to prolong for another three years into 2012 so that a Republican can win the election and save this country with tax cuts? Tax cuts that probably wouldn’t show results for another year or so into this hypothetical administration? It sure seems like Mr. Limbaugh wants Americans to suffer for another five to six years just so he and his cronies can say they were right.
