Rush can't seem to lay off McNabbBy WILLIAM BUNCH
Rush Limbaugh kicked Donovan McNabb when he was up, so why not kick him when he's down?In 2003, you'll recall, the conservative radio talker lost what was a new job as a football commentator on ESPN after he accused the then-high-flying Eagles quarterback of being overrated because "the media has been very desirous that a black quarterback do well."This Tuesday, Limbaugh was hosting his top-rated afternoon show - which airs locally on WPHT (1210-AM) - when a caller had harsh words for Illinois freshman Sen. Barack Obama, the Democratic rising star embroiled in a feud with GOP Sen. John McCain. The call was monitored by Media Matters for America, a liberal media- watchdog group.
The caller said: "Barack Obama is the Donovan McNabb of the Senate. He's overrated, and he's going to get a free pass by the media." He also said Obama - in his words, "well-spoken" and "well-mannered" - is "like a Bill Clinton, but just a different shade, that's all."
Did Limbaugh take the caller to task for his racially tinged views? What do you think?
"I kind of like that analogy that he is the Donovan McNabb of the U.S. Senate," Limbaugh enthused, adding, "in the sense that he is being propped up... because they want to see him do well."
This time, it's less likely Eagles fans will call for Limbaugh's head. That's partly because of McNabb's own recent controversial remarks invoking race, and partly - maybe mostly - because defenders don't come out of the woodwork after a 6-10 season.
