In 2003, Limbaugh resigned from his job as an ESPN commentator after saying about McNabb:

LIMBAUGH: Sorry to say this, I don't think he's been that good from the get-go. I think what we've had here is a little social concern in the NFL. The media has been very desirous that a black quarterback do well. 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.

      WHEEEEEEEEE! go the wheels as Rush furiously backpedals

      As Limbaugh himself says, words mean things. Look like his are coming home to roost.

      "Donovan's a little conflicted" !?

      OMG, here comes that hernia again. Donovan just said he won't work for you. Back in the day, he joked, joked that he'd hire you as a press flack, because your racist comments had made him a household name, and added to his marketability! I thought you were supposed to have a sense of humor, facrissakes! You did the same thing for him that BilldO did for Senator (chew on that, you Big Fat Idiot) Franken, when he sued him.
