   Rush Limbaugh, are you ready for some football?   
      
   Um, I guess not.   
      
   HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA................   
      
   The right-wing radio host's attempt to become part-owner of the St. Louis   
   Rams ended Wednesday when his fellow investors cut him from the squad. Rush   
   got the bum's rush shortly after Roger Goodell, the commissioner of the   
   National Football League, hinted strongly that His Loudness was most   
   unwelcome.   
      
   Controversy had focused on Limbaugh's history of incendiary and offensive   
   remarks about race. Striking his patented tone of arrogant, bombastic   
   victimhood, Limbaugh sought to portray his ownership bid as an urgent matter   
   of great historical importance to the nation.   
      
   "This is not about the NFL, it's not about the St. Louis Rams, it's not   
   about me," he bellowed on his show, hours before being sacked. "This is   
   about the ongoing effort by the left in this country, wherever you find   
   them, in the media, the Democrat Party, or wherever, to destroy   
   conservatism, to prevent the mainstreaming of anyone who is prominent as a   
   conservative. Therefore, this is about the future of the United States of   
   America and what kind of country we're going to have."   
      
   No, it's not. It's about making a splash and getting attention. And it's   
   about the free market and individual rights-which I thought conservatives   
   were supposed to worship.   
      
      
   Limbaugh had every right to join the group of would-be buyers headed by   
   sports mogul Dave Checketts, who already owns the St. Louis Blues hockey   
   team. And, let's be honest, Limbaugh would hardly have been the only   
   archconservative to own a piece of a pro football team. Given the   
   demographic profile of the average NFL franchise owner-white, male,   
   middle-aged to elderly, richer than Croesus, egocentric-I doubt that many of   
   Limbaugh's political and social views would be out of place. I mean, it's   
   not as if he were trying to join the board of the ACLU.

   Limbaugh thought his unintelligent babble could outflank people with a   
   little more intelligence than your average right wing halfwit that takes his   
   half truths as the gospel. Given the opportunity his demonic babble would of   
   ruined the NFL just like it has the country. As one progressive radio show   
   said, NFL, NOT FOR LIMBAUGH!!!   
      
   What the free market gives it can take as well.   
      
   Rush Limbaugh bears a striking resemblance to Herman Goering.  Like Goering,   
   he, too, reaches for his gun when he hears the word culture.  And, like   
   Goering, he should swallow a cyanide capsule so the world will at last be   
   rid of his corpulence and evil, homicidal stupidity
