Is it a coating of non-stick Teflon that keeps things from sticking to Rollicking Rush Limbaugh, or is it just ordinary slime he's covered with? Perhaps, if he bothers to explain himself at all, he will tell us that public figures like Barack Obama are fair game for race baiting while college girls are not, but I'm waiting to see the kind of reaction we got to Imus's comment. I'm waiting in fact to hear any update on the story that appeared in Crooks and Liars last Friday much less the racist barb he tossed at the Illinois Senator last January. It may be a long wait.Rush playing "Barack the Magic Negro" to the tune of the silly Peter, Paul & Mary song from the '60s on his radio show is only the latest in a career of ugliness, pettyness, maliciousness, and malignant bullying that should have ended years ago. Whether it's blatant racism or whether it's calling an adolescent girl a dog on nationwide TV, there have been too many incidents egregious enough to have him fired and blacklisted -- and yet here he is, smelly phallic cigar in his fat mouth, stinking up the pristine Florida air and the public airwaves.
It's time the media stop hiding behind a disclaimer and fire the bastard.
