      Your chances of owning a NFL franchise ended the day you decided to be a professional radio personality.

      Think abuout it, Rush. The very thing you probably dreamed of most in this world, ending because of the very thing that got you into a position to realize that dream.

      Irony, thy name is Rush Limbaugh.

      I heard the real reason Limbaugh's name was removed from consideration was because the NFL had already started investigating the "Jeff Christie incident" in Pittsburgh...and so Limbaugh actually removed his name from consideration. At least that's what I heard....when I read this post out loud. ;>)

      Sorry, Rush: it is about you. It’s about you and your fellow right wing pundits who have stolen the Conservative Party and turned it into a sad remnant of itself. It’s about stopping the Rush Limbaughs, the Glen Becks, the Michelle Milkens. the Bill O’Reillys, the Ann Coulters and the rest of your kind who have nothing good to say about this country if it doesn’t get down on its knees and worship at you alter.

      It’s about real human beings expressing their views about a bigoted human being, and their wish to keep him from buying into a sport millions enjoy. The NFL doesn’t want or need you, so feel free to take your million and whine in silence; nobody likes a whiner.
