i will be on foxnews at 12:30pm

Posted on 10/02/2003 4:48:37 PM PDT by WillowyDame

i was contacted by foxnews to be on at 12:30pm tomorrow to discuss the rush situation.

i know what to say about the espn situation but the drug one is the one that hit me hard.

this is a very sad day! i hope rush tells us something, anything soon; so that i can know what angle to use in defence of him.

one thing is for sure, if this is true, this will make his haters very very happy. they have been looking for something to bring him down with!

oh well i am hoping rush says IT AINT SO but if is, we should support him in getting the help he needs, not discard him over one bad deed.

we all make very poor choices sometimes..you just have to be willing to make changes and become a better person.

"If in the course of life you realize that you are wrong, admit it and stirve to make amends as best you can. anything less is cowardice" a freeper

If you're on at 12:30, Rush doesn't git 'till 12:10 or so. You'd better be ready for one way or the other.

While I earlier saw this story as the end, I no longer think so. America is the land of magic, and many a soul has re-made himself, or kept a head above hot water.

Rush can handle himself, especially of something of his own doing. You needn't fret. I'd suggest no defensiveness, just calm emphathy and kind wishes.

I will ask you to consider only one thing. If Michael Irvin (who at least played against the person in question) Jason Sehorn (he was a starting cornerback for NY Giants until he got hurt and is being converted to safety) were considered to be overrated and given media preferential treatment because he is white (most starting cornerbacks in recent years have been black), I think he could be accused of racism.... Please tell me what the difference is with what Rush said... I think he may be a racist but I am aware that there are eloquent arguments against. I would also be willing to grant him the benefit of the doubt and say that he did not intent to make anyone feel bad... However, I think his unwillingness to step up and defend his position in a forum where he does not control the mike raises questions...


He has the right to say whatever he wants but does he not also need to take responsibility for what he says...

I have stated on several occassions that he should not have resigned because he needs an adequate opportunity to show what he can do....

I also think that if he had stepped up and answered his critics in a place where he is not in control, he would have been perceived as someone who is misunderstood and we could have proceeded to have an intelligient discussion about a very important issue....

He has become the story and there is something wrong with that. I am not sure whether it is his fault or other reporters but I would like to see him show some grit and advance rather than retreat...

I congratulate you for your invitation and I wish you the best in your presentation but I would prefer to see Rush doing his own talking...

On the drug issue, I am taking a wait and see approach because I think everyone, regardless of their views, deserves impartiality and the presumption of innocence...

As I stated before, break a leg....

One more thing for ya, by way of example...

We see that Warren Moon says Rush is a racist:

Limbaugh never judged a man by the color of his skin. He has ever damned those that have. That's all he was saying the other day, nothing more, nothing less.

"I'm fairly certain this woman is nuts. She's been on the Howard Stern show several times. She is a groupie who used to think Howard Stern was "God". Do not take her seriously."

i was young and then i really liked stern. what is wrong with that? is "groupie" a 4 letter word?

i stopped listening to stern years ago and only because i grew out of the show and it also was not longer as funny as it used to be.

do not take what serious? do you mean concerning my claim that i found a cure for cancer?

i am not ashamed of that. and if stern was as funny as he used to be me then, i probably still would be listening and still be a huge fan.

but i have grown out of it!!

you are being a SNOB for no good reason, just ignore me.

Did you hear that from her personally or just get that from her site? (although that really doesn't bother me)

what it boils down to is that if you are white, you just can't say anything negative about a black person without being called a racist!!

it is truly sad but the espn thing is nothing compared with the drug thing.

now rush has hired roy black! we'll see!!

Say what the libs fear but know in their hearts is true- Rush is indominatable.
This won't stop him or even slow him down.

(Watch their faces fall when you say it LOL!)

Even they know he's right.

yeah i still have tapes of his old show that i pop on nce in a while just to hear the most hysterical things ever uttered.

i hope you listened to him when he had billy on. he was on for a short period but that was the FUNNIEST time of the show.

how things change! i used to think it's just because i got older and grew out of the show but it might also be because the show did a 180 turn years ago. and when i talk to the people i used to like stern then with, they don't listen anymore cos they say he is just no longer funny!!

btw, honey you are so gorgeous!! like an angel! just saw your page.

LOL thanks!! And you are right about him not being funny anymore. He seemed to cross the line somewhere from funny to just a jerk. When i saw the contest he did deciding which woman was going to win the boob job, i didn't watch him again. That was just cruel.

Have you ever laughed so hard that you were crying and it hurt at the same time?

Yes! It's called Overlaugh.

Love your tag line!
