Can’t exactly say I feel bad for Rush Limbaugh. His dreams of becoming part of the NFL ownership club have been crushed before they really got started and he only has himself to blame.
First, he couldn’t keep his mouth shut and had to tout his involvement in the Dave Checketts bid to buy the St. Louis Rams. Once he’d done that, he’d opened the floodgates for the criticism of himself and dooming the group he was involved in. You reap what you sow.
Before Checketts bid went down the tubes, he and the rest of his investors voted to jettison Rush overboard, figuring Limbaugh could use his own hot air to create a floatation device. Limbaugh’s desire to be a part of the group was doomed long ago with the comments he’s made that have incensed minorities.
On his radio program early today, Limbaugh, ever the conspiracy theorist, blamed the Left and said, "this is about the United States of America and what kind of country we're going to have."
One can only hope so.

NFL owners are rich people, as is Rush, but they’re rich people who for the most part know to keep their mouth shut when it helps put dollars in their pocket. Limbaugh has made a career of doing exactly the opposite. He killed his chances back when he tried to be an announcer on Monday Night Football, which by the way he sucked at.
I once was in the broadcast booth when he came in and was asked if he’d like to help call a Royals game for an inning. I’ve never seen a person more nervous and sweat more while stumbling over their words. He was like Albert Brooks in the movie Broadcast News.
He may be out of the deal, but either way, Limbaugh did get the publicity that he so desperately desires. Which is unfortunate.
