As a society, our standards have really dropped

Apparently, Rush Limbaugh has been airing this "satirical" song about Barack Obama on his radio show where a white man pretends to be Al Sharpton and refers to Obama as "the magic Negro." Ok, I really cannot understand at all anymore why people still listen to Rush Limbaugh. At first, I thought he was just a pretty conservative guy who was getting by on charisma and his unending stream of venom towards Liberals. But now that we know he used his maid to buy illegal prescription drugs, he was addicted to Oxycontin and he seems to be proud of airing racial songs like this, can anybody still like him? Does the above description of his person actually make some people go "Well, aside from all that, I still think he's a wise, thoughtful man."?? Is that humanly possible? I'm starting to think that certain people could see a videotape of Rush Limbaugh prostituting puppies to rich Albanians and still tune in to his radio show. Incredible.

Didn't we learn anything with the recent Imus scandal?

I know! I'm amazed he's gotten away with this. I know Obama is a public figure, but that song was downright racist.

There is freedom of speech and then there is just not looking like an ass in front of the whole world.
