Let me first apologize to Rush Limbaugh.
Last week in explaining why NFL commissioner Roger Goodell needed to put an end to Limbaugh's latest publicity stunt, I attributed racially insensitive quotes to Limbaugh that I read in two Missouri newspapers, saw on CNN and confirmed through a Google search. Prior to posting the article, I never found a denial of these quotes by Limbaugh, and had no reason to believe those statements were not true.
It was unfair to Limbaugh. And I regret that. I've commented on some of his earlier controversies. I've long been an admirer of his broadcasting skills.
For the most part, I've never taken his political commentary all that seriously. There are virtually no modern-day political figures that I take seriously. Politics and politicians are too dishonest and too controlled by financial influences for my taste. I've never participated in American politics. I've never voted.
I am not right wing or left wing, Democrat or Republican, liberal or conservative. I'm not beholden to any political agenda. An examination of my work at FOXSports.com, the Kansas City Star and/or any of the places I've worked previously would reveal a free-thinking, hardcore independent.
I dislike and distrust everybody equally.

Because he got "served"?
The shoe hasn't dropped on the others yet or their lawyers told them to shut up.
Do I win anything?
I'm sick of the left hiding behind racism.
Feel free to post some examples.
Your posts #17 & #43 seem to be at odds with one another.
Very possible. At the very least, a “cease and desist” letter from one of Rush’a lawyers.
There is definitely something going on behind the scenes and I’ll bet we’ll be seeing a few more mea culpas like this from other babbling ignorant leftists (is there any other kind? lol)

He is the perfect inhabitant of the Obama Universe!
What a dunce!
You've never listened to Rush, have you? If you have and you're still making this statement then you are an idiot.
I DIDN'T SAY THAT -- it's quoted from the article itself -- it just didn't stay inside my italics instructions.
My apologies. I listen to Rush ever day. And I'm not an idiot, except when it comes to HTML.
See, I told you? HTML — way over my head ....
“Limbaugh fails to inform his massive radio audience that he hustles the same game as Jesse and Al, just on the white side of the fence.”
This is an apology? Calling Rush a race baiter? OK...
Okie, your apology is accepted, please accept mine for being clumsy in HTML and giving the wrong impression.
Sue him, Rush!
A “Rather” moment.
Fake but true?
But who does that anymore...???
Apologies all around. And accepted all around.
mk: "'What this tells me, is that dawg done got served this week!'"
Bingo, GMTA. LOL
Very first thing popping into my half-asleeep mind upon reading the imbecile's *piece* {spit}. I swear.
Quite likely part of the above mentioned settlement, plus oodles of cash of course. LOL
steph: "Very possible. At the very least, a 'cease and desist' letter from one of Rusha lawyers."
My senses say no. Nothing so benign.
This is a fat, big titted {using best Robert Duvall voice...} almost once in a lifetime payday for the "injured party" AND the shysters representing said injured party, Steph. I mean lawyers gotta eat, too. LOL
And just as the quisling administration smugly proclaims "Never let a good crisis got to waste."? There's this variation: "Never give a chump a break when they step on it & you've got'em by the short hairs." ;^)
mk: "There is definitely something going on behind the scenes..."
Uh-huh, and remarkably fast response when there's so very much fresh red meat! Shezam!! :o)
mk: "...and Ill bet well be seeing a few more mea culpas like this from other babbling ignorant leftists..."
Yea. LOL
