Oh I have. He doesn't impress me. Also, he's been on my bad side ever since he tried to do sports commentary and ended up saying people only give McNabb credit because he's black. Just a ridiculous person I have no interest in hearing talk about anything if I can help it.
This makes me think Eternal's argument has some merit, or you have problems listening. Limbaugh didn't say that people only give credit to McNabb because he's black, he said that the new/sports media so greatly desired a black quarterback to do well that they inflated his accomplishments to the point that McNabb couldn't live up to expectations. This was part of a conversation, of course, about McNabb's performance, and Limbaugh took the side of "he's doing just fine," and argued that the only reason you'd think otherwise is because you bought into the hype...then he shared his opinion about why there was so much hype, which is what pissed people off.
If you do actually attempt to listen to the man's show, don't do it for a day or even two. Take a least a few weeks. He does a lot of satire/sarcasm/humor, and if you're sitting there waiting for him to say shit you don't like, you hear shit you don't like, and not "here's why this is funny." Just because I don't agree politically with every joke a comedian makes about republicans/conservatives doesn't mean they can't be funny and/or laughed at for the sake of humor.

This.
Bush is going to be doing interviews everywhere now that book is out. Listen to one of those, if you prefer.
Like no politician before this has gone out of their way for softball questions...
