It sure didn't take long for the racist to start spewing idiocy.

Rush Limbaugh says that if you believe Donovan McNabb is a really good quarterback, it isn't because he is a really good quarterback. It's because you have a secret desire to see a black quarterback succeed in the NFL.

Now, who isn't offended by that? Who isn't offended on about three different levels? And when is this nonsense ever going to end?

Limbaugh works for ESPN now, at least on Sunday mornings. He is there to be controversial. This week, as his co-conspirators on the set tried to figure out what was wrong with McNabb following his 0-2 start this season, Limbaugh told them this:

"I think the sum total of what you're all saying is that Donovan McNabb is regressing, he's going backwards. And...I'm sorry to say this, I don't think he's been that good from the get-go.

"I think what we've had here is a little social concern in the NFL. I think the media has been very desirous that a black quarterback do well. They're interested in black coaches and black quarterbacks doing well; I think there is a little hope invested in McNabb, and he got a lot of credit for the performance of his team that he really didn't deserve. The defense carried this team...

"I think he got a lot of credit for the defensive side of the ball winning games for this team."

A short argument ensued on the ESPN set - that's why Limbaugh is there, to start short arguments - but it was a football argument and nothing more. Limbaugh's black-quarterback comments were ignored. His easy dismissal of everything that McNabb has accomplished was not challenged. His cavalier, hurtful words were left to sit there and sting. On the central issue, nobody took the bully on.

...was the equivalent of giving him enough rope to hang himself.

ESPN reported through CNN that the bigot wasn't hired as an 'analyst' but as a 'fan commentator'. He's an idiot, and he's coming in like someone desperate to make his point, actually his only point is racism and to prove the 'sport' was practically set up to make the blacks look good.
