C'mon, face the truth. What Rush said was simply stupid. He claimed that McNabb had never been a good quarterback and was being given a pass from criticism from liberal sports writers who wanted a black quarterback to succeed in the NFL. Does that make sense on any level? Absolutely not.
First, McNabb has been a very good quarterback until this year. He's won numerous awards and kudos for his performance on the field.
Second, there are plenty of successful black quarterbacks in the NFL and there were before McNabb came along. The "liberal media" didn't need McNabb to be successful for them. (They already have Michael Vick - - perhaps the best QB in the sport)
Finally, who really believes that sports writers are political and have an agenda? Sports stars are measured by performance. Period.
Rush simply can't talk about sports without injecting his political viewpoint; here, that the liberal media has some kind of quota system which requires some number of black QBs succeed as starting QBs in the NFL. His viewpoint can't be supported by facts or by a transparent appeal to right-wing prejudices. He could have gotten away with this on his radio show where only dittoheads gather, but not on a television show for sports fans of every political bent, some capable of independant thought.
Rush is a gasbag who should retreat to his closet where he can wallow in his addictive drug abuse and fantasies of feminazi domination.
