- You have to retire before you can unretire! -- nm - Mop (233 lbs) Oct 15, 11:35
- i think that's good, but i'm not sure if a reality show has ever imploded so spectacularly before. -- nm - Andie Oct 15, 11:34 8
  - this VH1 show recently that never aired because the murderer won? -- nm - Reagen Oct 15, 11:36 1
    - i'm betting that gets aired, somehow, in the next year. - Andie Oct 15, 11:38
  - What about that one where you had to guess the gay guys? -- nm - Beryllium Oct 15, 11:35 2
    - (I don't think they finished the season ... but then, it was more of a fizzle than an implosion) -- nm - Beryllium Oct 15, 11:36 1
      - oh, there are more tasteless shows, no question. -- nm - Andie Oct 15, 11:39
  - I Want To Marry A Millionaire (holla Darva Conger!) -- nm - big time shamu Oct 15, 11:35 2
    - Generic VH1 Reality Show #215, you know, the one where the murderer won... -- nm - Ender Oct 15, 11:36
    - oh yeah, that was good. - Andie Oct 15, 11:36
- Does that include the end of the Kate Plus Eight idea, too? Because that would be great. Get those kids off TV, before it really wrecks their lives. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 15, 11:34

- who? -- nm - Danedukenuuk Oct 15, 11:34
- Isn't he second only to the Beatles in total album sales? - Cuzzin Todd Oct 15, 11:31 2
  - Yes, 117mil albums sold. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 15, 11:32 1
    - I think he got the masters to his catalog back. That's a huge reason why he retired, he wanted, like Metallica got, the original masters -- nm - Remlik Oct 15, 11:33
- ...to play in Minnesota -- nm - Dano Oct 15, 11:31 1
  - [deleted]
- pfffttt - is he really that bored at the ranch? I'd like to see him do a stint in Vegas while developing a real bad craps/hooker addiction -- nm - Epiphany Oct 15, 11:30 7
  - coattailer -- nm - JackSean Oct 15, 11:30 4
    - I am so meh about him - I just don't understand why people who go out on the top, can't stay out. - Epiphany Oct 15, 11:33 3
      - He's probably bored out of his mind.....and not getting the adrenaline rush of performing in front of thousands upon thousands..... -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 15, 11:36
      - They get bored clearing brush out on the ranch. Seriously though, performing for an appreciative audience is like a drug. - Deevil Oct 15, 11:36 1
        
        Word -- nm - znufrii Oct 15, 11:36
  - He's realizing being married to Trisha Yearwood means you basically only do Trisha Yearwood. - Will Hunting Oct 15, 11:30 1

  - HA! God I remember watching something he was doing with Clinton w/music in the classroom and he was doing all Chris Gaines stuff. ugh. -- nm - Remlik Oct 15, 11:29 4
    - Even though it didn't work, I give him credit for trying something different. - Will Hunting Oct 15, 11:29 3
      - I hate that phrase. Giving credit for effort is basically just saying "good try but it still sucks" -- nm - Hotkiss Oct 15, 11:31 2
        
        There's a ton of artists still doing the same stuff they did 20 years ago. - Will Hunting Oct 15, 11:33 1

    - ask Remlik nicely and he might do a Take On Me / Rodeo mashup -- nm - crash davis Oct 15, 11:29 2
      - I don't make them! -- nm - Remlik Oct 15, 11:32 1
        
        i wouldn't ask you nicely for anything anyway -- nm - big time shamu Oct 15, 11:34

FWIW, local sports radio had Stephen A Smith on this morning to discuss the Rush thing, and I have to say, it was an awesome interview. -- nm - TFox Oct 15, 11:21 9
- link to the audio here, if anyone is interested. -- (link) - TFox Oct 15, 11:24
- Did they discuss the Red Barchetta? Maybe they were channeling the Spirit of Radio. -- nm - JaxSean Oct 15, 11:23

Miss McCain's boobs may just be a desperate grab by the GOP. I forwarded it to 2 coworkers and they're both ready to switch parties - Guy Oct 15, 11:17 2
- their madonna-whore complex is a sight to behold -- nm - big time shamu Oct 15, 11:19
- grab? Geez, you're making them sound like pervs. heh. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 15, 11:18

thursday. the not-friday. Sure, it's only a four-day week this week, but it feels very painful for some reason. - Beryllium Oct 15, 11:16 1
- short weeks always feel long to me, likely due to smushing. -- nm - b. Oct 15, 11:17
lyc, in the seventh grade I had a social studies teacher who was an old AFL Oakland Raider lineman...he told us one day how ugly the Denver Broncos - crash davis Oct 15, 11:10 2

you know why people might believe even fake racist quotes about Rush? probably cause they sound like everything else he spews - big time shamu Oct 15, 11:09 22

  - "It is not our job to determine what is true and what isn't..." -- nm - Mainstream News Media, c. 2008 Oct 15, 11:25
  - [deleted]
- The way I figure it, there's a reason they latched on to those quotes so hard, because they couldn't find any actual quotes to back up their assertion -- nm - Ender Oct 15, 11:12 1
  - even if you thorw out any racially tinged comments, he's got hundreds more that accurately show he's a bigoted douchebag. - Guy Oct 15, 11:14
- [deleted] 15
  - from the man who loves him some "Barack the Magical Negro" -- nm - big time shamu Oct 15, 11:18
  - And it wonders me how people who don't even necessarily espouse racism or division "rush" to defend Tubby Bigoted Drug Addict. -- nm - Deevil Oct 15, 11:16 13
    - [deleted] 12
      - You forgot the accompanying line im, "attack rush at all costs". -- nm - Ender Oct 15, 11:24 11
        
        [deleted] 10
        
        Given that this whole conversation started because dozens of reporters mindlessly regurgitated fake quotes, I think it's a valid note. -- nm - Ender Oct 15, 11:31 9
        
        [deleted] 7
        
        Reporters have been trotting out fake quotes about how slavery was a good thing and MLK's assassin deserved a medal of honor. -- nm - Ender Oct 15, 11:38 5

        Because I think the vast majority of attacks against him are based on false or out-of-context quotes. -- nm - Ender Oct 15, 11:44 3
        
        I mean, so far the only evidence people have actually given that he's a racist is that he thinks the media overhyped Donovan McNabb because they... - Ender Oct 15, 11:48

        And let us not forget "The only reason Colin Powell supported Obama for President is because they're both Black." -- nm - Deevil Oct 15, 12:16
        
        that quote's true, and went out live on ESPN's pre-game show several years ago - Reagen Oct 15, 11:35
        
        that's really not true. Rush was controversial without the fake quotes. And if they were the issue, why is he still being excluded? - Reagen Oct 15, 11:33
- Fake but accurate! -- nm - Dan Rather Oct 15, 11:11
"Rough housing with animals in that way is incredibly dangerous, no matter what size the pooch is." - Guy Oct 15, 11:08 2

  - That's setting the bar pretty high. Remember, ML used to write for us. -- nm - Mop (233 lbs) Oct 15, 11:34
The key Rush quote. - Will Hunting Oct 15, 11:08 10
- [deleted]
- I thought his point was bemoaning that race was a factor in the coverage. - Dan Rather Oct 15, 11:15 4
  - he was the first guy to bring race into it. no one was going around saying "Boy, we need a black QB to be a star, let's promote this guy!" - Reagen Oct 15, 11:19
  - but it wasn't, sports is the great arena of equality, everything is exposed on the field...and McNabb is very good -- nm - crash davis Oct 15, 11:18
  - He was wrong. McNabb was covered cuz he was leading his team annually to the semi-finals of the league. - Will Hunting Oct 15, 11:18
  - sfan -- nm - Dr.Vermin Oct 15, 11:15
- seriously, that's game, set and match for me. -- nm - Reagen Oct 15, 11:09 3
  - I'll agree. It was racially insensitive at the least, demeaned McNabb and made me question his knowledge of the game. -- nm - crash davis Oct 15, 11:14 2
    - McNabb with all the Chunky Soup stuff probably had as large a national media profile as anyone not named Peyton...don't mess with the guy making the - Will Hunting Oct 15, 11:16
    - "Hold on, Rush, Ima let you finish, but Donovan McNabb is the greatest QB ever. EVER!" -- nm - Kanye West Oct 15, 11:15
That goiter on Rush's ass is apparently what happens in Obama's America. -- nm - Reagen Oct 15, 11:07

  - what difference does it make. it looked like a typical myspace profile pic to me -- nm - Guy Oct 15, 11:09 3
    - Yeah, I'm not really seeing where the 'drama' is in all of this. - Dr.Vermin Oct 15, 11:11 2
      - I dunno what angle it would be other than from heavily uptight people - Will Hunting Oct 15, 11:14
      - especially in the post-Bush twins era, this seems like a non-story. -- nm - Guy Oct 15, 11:12
  - she gets a wee benefit of a doubt because it was late for her, and i empathize with her frequently mentioned sleep issues and tiredness they cause. - b.oob Oct 15, 11:09 1
