Rush Blitzed
Limbaugh had made himself an icon of the reactionary right and an enemy to all persons of color. Two-thirds of all NFL players are black. There would be consequences for Rush's choice to pander to racism.

What were the producers thinking when they cast DeLay in the first place? Did they believe that after seeing him do a samba, America would forget what a repulsive human being he is and embrace him in its collective bosom?

NFL owners were rightly worried that letting Limbaugh join their exclusive club would be akin to asking for a stink bomb to explode in their clubhouse.

A 7-year-old boy was playing football in his backyard in Ohio when he was tackled by a deer. Honest. The kid wasn't seriously hurt, but the Detroit Lions have called about the deer's eligibility.

George Will once described the game as a "mistake" combining the two worst aspects of the 20th Century: organized violence and committee meetings. He might as well have added "equal opportunity."

The first three words of the Constitution say, "We the People." "We" is a lovely word; it is inclusive. Life forms and nature are a delicate dance of symbiotic relationships. Some people understand that there is only one world and we are all in this together.

Although I have a deep-seated suspicion and dislike for most unions, the NFL Players union is doing the right thing by speaking out against the racist entertainer Rush Limbaugh.

I believe that the NFL leadership does not need nor want to be directly associated with the constant and unlikely to cease vitriol and otherwise divisive and incendiary rhetoric of Rush Limbaugh.

Yesterday I was referred to on air as "scum" by Rush Limbaugh. I was called out for challenging his efforts to own an NFL team, saying that Limbaugh's history of racial bombast should count against him.

When the Washington Redskins play Kansas City Sunday it will mark their sixth straight game against a winless team. Despite the cupcake schedule, Washington is 2 and 3.

It's absolutely unconscionable that the negative reaction to a sitting US President for receiving the Nobel Award would cause the Nobel Committee to defend its decision.

By supporting a moderate bill in committee, Snowe has made the GOP, or at least part of it, relevant again; succeeding where Michael Steele, John Boehner, Joe Wilson, Rush Limbaugh and others have failed.

Of course technology is non-partisan, belonging to neither the Democratic Party nor the GOP. Yet when it comes to technology and politics -- an unpredictable, still evolving marriage -- all eyes are on the Republicans.

The vitriol against Obama's peace prize and "those Norwegians" who gave it to him is much deeper than the president's lack of achievements thus far; it is based on a fundamental clash of worldviews.

I'm thinking there's no way Limbaugh will win approval to be a part owner in the St. Louis Rams. The Players Association has not only complained to the Commissioner, but they're urging players to speak out.

The acquisition of the Rams would represent the culmination of a dream for Mr. Limbaugh, who had previously tried to acquire the Minnesota NFL team and rename it the Minnesota Vicodins.

I'm not sure the NFL is ready to stomach the hatemail the next time Limbaugh compares the Democrats to Nazis, but like it or not...as an owner he would represent the NFL.
