I would try to read it but sentence structure and overall flow of ideas in writing is a big vice of mine when I read columns. Ill pass.

Everyone loves to run down a man who stands up against vice. That relieves the conscience of every sluggard and mediocrity who does otherwise.
Roeper's anal dump is only the first of many that will mine the same pathetic vein of human vindictiveness. Roeper is a living argument contra the process of species evolution. His ignorant knee-jerking makes me think our society is steadily in decadent decline.

Boy, Roeper is a BORING, disjointed writer.
He's right that Limbaugh was wimpy to quit ESPN. I guess the fact that bigger brushfires sprung up was the reason.

Sooner or later, we will all be bitten on the arse by this WOD. It's insane to declare war on ourselves.

He's right that Limbaugh was wimpy to quit ESPNI think it was quit or get fired. Personally, it was better to resign IMHO.

Leaving aside the contract implications (you don't get paid if you quit), I still think he should have made them fire him.
Resigning looked like an admission of guilt.

I agree with you. This is very poorly written. Some paragraphs, I actually had to read twice.
To: dead
Resigning looked like an admission of guilt.I totally agree. The upside of resigning is that he won't get the reputation of bringing down the cast of characters thus preserving his "sports viability" in the future.

Rush's comments are the best thing that ever happened to Donavan McNabb. Sometimes I feel the best thing that ever happened to the Democrats was godless conservative talk radio. All the claims of being "on the right", without any serious aknowledgement of who is the Author of our rights. Now we have the great Arnold as a result of this massive influence of conservative talk radio, to really destroy the party.

Everyone loves to run down a man who stands up against vice. If that were the case there would be no ridiculous War on Drugs. But as for Rush, if he's going to sell books advocating a War on Drugs, then he had better be prepared to be hoisted by his own petard when his head is caught in a vice.

I agree, much better to dwell on Rush's pill problem than to seriously combat the $$$$billions that cross our borders like a sewage flood every year for substances like cocaine and heroin.
If we just got rid of all those inconvenient drug laws, we wouldn't have a drug problem anymore. The same could be said about prison rape, larceny and murder.
Rush becomes a flawed messenger because of his own failings, but that does not undermine the inherent truth of what the man said. The last time any human being on Earth completely lived by example, there was a new star shining in the East.

You guys just give me the creeps Funny, I usually get that when I tell people I'm a conservative.
To: RightWingAtheist
I've actually read FAIR's book on Limbaugh (someone gave it to me as a Christmas present). It's about 1/3rd accurate (Rush does make mistakes) but most of those things are relatively minor (on the same scale as the Bill O'Reilly "Peabody" statement). About 1/3rd of it is exaggeration (making a mountain out of a mole-hill -- generally something Rush said to be funny or over-the-top). And about 1/3rd of it is just wrong and takes things he said out of context. I imagine the 12% line is an "out of context" remark.
