Is what he said true? And isn't it reminiscent of Jimmy the Greek?

Jimmy The Greek's comments were pretty much impromptu. As I recall, he was having supper in a restuarant and was pretty much blindsided by a reporter and camera crew.

His statement could be considered racist, but I don't believe it falls into the category of bigotry. People who knew him said he was crushed by the incident. He even sought counsel with, of all people, Jesse "Hymietown" Jackson in order to regain his reputation.

Rush should have known better.

Do you or anyone else here remember Earl Butts - Sec'y of Agriculture under Reagan? Now what he said was bigoted.
