Holy crap, this just made the ABC hourly news
Rush is right here, at least about race being an issue in these things (I have no idea if McNabb is any good or not, not being a major follower of football unless one of my teams is in the game). Do a search yourself on the number of sports stories that discuss McNabb largely in the context of his race.
That being said, Rush should have known better. A Democrat can call black people "niggers" to their faces and get away with it. Rush would get in trouble for painting his house white.
