Seven years later, Sports Illustrated admits Rush Limbaugh was right

December 22, 2010 By admin

Sometimes it takes time for the world to catch up with you. So: Patience, people! When you’re right, and you know it — and you’ve got a black guy on video saying “Rush has a point” — no apologies, no surrenders.

Ever, ever, ever, ever, ever.

Oh, and just a friendly word of advice to everybody who has signed up to work for Sun TV News –  these were the “notes” Rush Limbaugh got after his first few appearances:

You should also know that after the prior week show, after episode four, one of the ESPN executives came to me and said, “Could you dial it up a little bit?  Those are the football guys.  We have you here to be you.  Come on. Light it up.”  “Oh, okay. Fine.  If that’s what you want.” 

He was fired a week later.
