Limbaugh out...sane sports commentary back in!
So, after all of us liberal, commie, socialist whinners "made a mountain out of a molehill", Rush Limbaugh succombed to public outrage and resigned from ESPN. This is good news, but not great.

First of all, the down side of this is that ESPN didn't fire him.

Secondly--although this shouldn't really surprise anyone familiar with Rush's obvious mental problems--the porcine pontificator insists that there was nothing wrong with his statement. Not only does he NOT understand why his statement was offensive from a racial perspective ("There's no racism here. There's no racist intent whatsoever"), but he's actually saying this: "If I wasn't right, there wouldn't be this cacophony of outrage that has sprung up in the sports writer community." That's typical Limbaugh "logic".

Thirdly, and probably most disappointing about this whole affair is that both Limbaugh and ESPN got exactly what they wanted out this whole affair. ESPN got more press for their network and NFL show and got rid of Rush before they lost any hard-core viewers. And Rush got more press and can prance back to his "ditto-head" listeners proclaiming to be a victim of the "liberal media" yet again. This third point is while I'll continue to boycot ESPN even though the loudmouth lout is gone.

I'll give the final word on this to a well-respected athlete and spokesman (and yeah, he happens to be black):

Former San Diego Chargers star Kellen Winslow, spokesman for a group that monitors racial issues in the NFL, called the resignation "great news. Now, ESPN can get back to covering football."
