Just A Place Holder For Posterity

This will play right into Obama's hands. He's humanitarian, compassionate. They'll use this to burnish their, shall we say, "credibility" with the black community -- in the both light-skinned and dark-skinned black community in this country. It's made-to-order for them. That's why he couldn't wait to get out there, could not wait to get out there. - Rush Limbaugh

This is why Rush Limbaugh will never be an NFL owner. What’s the upside to a public statement like this? It’s not funny. It’s not insightful. It’s the best example of someone talking out of his ass, ever. He doesn’t leave Palm Beach, how would he know anything, at all, about the Black community; let alone the intricacies of dark-skinned and light-skinned. His information on the subject seems to have stopped in 1950. A bunch of people in a 3rd world country had their lives destroyed by a natural disaster, and Rush’s unsolicited opinion is that he thinks he pays too much in income taxes and that Obama is going to use the disaster as an opportunity to gain support in a demographic that voted for him at an 89% clip. This isn’t about his statement being wrong. It’s about his desperate need to be part of the “Upper Crust” in America, but all of his success coming from being a dumb, loud-mouthed hick. Unfortunately for Limbaugh, being a dumb loud-mouthed hick is (potentially) bad for business as far as NFL owners are concerned. The hick part isn’t the problem. The dumb loud-mouthed part is. When Limbaugh makes statements this NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell knows that blackballing Limbaugh was the right decision for the league, and it has nothing to do with politics. It has everything to do with money. I don’t think Rush Limbaugh gets that, or has trouble understanding that money and politics are different worlds even though they overlap – a lot. I guess he feels he needs to make statements like these so he can stay on top, which is just sad, but not as sad as the alternative, which is that he actually believes the stuff he says.
