Mitch Albom: That's Rush: Wrong and wrongheaded

BY MITCH ALBOM

Rush Limbaugh sees the world in black and white. It is the secret of his success. While other radio hosts wince at slicing the world in two -- saying one side is always right and the other is always wrong -- Limbaugh's cash register has always rung on the jingle of such stubborn, if incorrect, simplicity.

So it is no surprise that Limbaugh brought his black-and-white outlook to ESPN, which hired him to spice up its NFL show Sunday mornings. The only surprise is that it took this long -- a whole month! -- to prove his shtick doesn't work in sports.

I doubt this story will even nick Rush's career. Blaming is easier than taking responsibility, and he will blame the liberal this and the liberal that, and heads will nod in agreement.

1. I love Mitch Albom

Tuesdays with Morrie is one of my favorite books, and it's good to see him light into Rush too!

2. Unfortunately, "won't nick (LIMBO's) career" Is True

It will take the rehab, the clean/sober life, the scorn of his own Dittoheads to make a dent.

3. Florida has "mandatory minimum sentencing" in drug cases.

Those liberal judges won't be able to save Pigboy.,,


...unless "American justice" is a misnomer.
