    The number of sexist comments that were cast in Sarah Palin's direction are too numerous to recount here.

    The same goes for nearly every female conservative.

    Do we need to go into the "House Negro" comments about Powell or the racist cartoons that were drawn depicting Rice?

    Most people can't name one liberal talk show host.

    ESPN hired him expecting him to be provocative, I suppose. And they thought he could bring a few of his meatball listeners over with him.

    I'm guessing this decision didn't make it into the highlight reel that year ...

    The lack of actual news can always make for an interesting thread. See Woods, Tiger.

    Would actually like a real news update. Chest pains and "serious condition" can mean anything from something really bad to no big deal.

    I understand English as she is spoken. But then I'm a Canadian so we may have a translation problem.

    I'm waiting for you to name me a liberal talk show host that's as hateful as Rush. You brought it up, not me.

    So, I'll hang up and listen.

    Ah, Page 3 of the Lame Conservative Excuse Playbook: The "But ... But... But you mean libs do it too!!" defense...

    THAT WASN'T MY ARGUMENT.

    Jesus.

    Here, slowly:

    Talk radio hosts deal in extremes. They are obnoxious, by job description, and they play to the fringe of their party. That is done REGARDLESS of who the host is or what the party is. Saying that Republican talk show hosts are the only ones who say things that are beyond what most of the country thinks/feels is naive, and I'm tired of everything always becoming finger-pointing and "that side's worse."

    It was in response to a question.

    The Mods must be either sleeping or starting their New Year's celebration early.
    I wonder if Moddy has an alarm and a firepole from his bedroom to his computer for cases like this.
