Rush Limbaugh and Loaded Weapon have nothing to do with each other and everything to do with each other. Limbaugh, in case you have been locked in the closet for the past week and haven't heard, enraged so many people with his astoundingly ill-informed rambling about race, the media and Donovan McNabb on Sunday NFL Countdown, ESPN's pregame show, that he resigned (perhaps under pressure from the network) from the program. You may be less familiar with Loaded Weapon, which is the name of a new sneaker being hawked by Converse. Anyone with half a brain, which apparently doesn't include the folks in marketing at Converse, can see that it's a terrible idea to give such a violent handle to a shoe that's largely aimed (pardon the pun) at teenagers and younger children.

Yeah, both ESPN and Converse hold Phil Taylor at gun point and make him use their services. This guy wins The coveted, Purple Air Sickness Bag for forcing unsuspecting readers to spew their stroganoff when they sample his columns.

Is it just me...or is this simpleton of a writer using the same "loaded weapon" imagery to "sell" his article????

"Converse"ly, Rush will probably escape without getting a "Loaded Weapon" used to elevate his butt.

And contrapositively, Rush will use his prodigeous posterior, as a Loaded Weapon, to defecate upon the Lilliputian heads of the various morons who have attempted to pile on to him.
