Time Magazine took few minutes to ask Rush Limbaugh a few questions:
Q: What Kind of Season is Donovan McNabb Gonna Have?

Let me just share with you what I read in a newspaper when the Eagles signed [receiver] Terrell Owens. They said now McNabb has no excuse. What happened after [my comments], I inoculated McNabb from any criticism the rest of the year because nobody, of course, could dare run the risk of agreeing with Rush Limbaugh. So whenever McNabb threw an interception, it was a receiver's fault or an offensive lineman's fault. He was incapable of making a mistake. He owes me a lot.

Yes folks [bangs on table], Rush has done it again! In one fell swoop he has encapsulated the racist logic of modern conservatism. McNabb, apparently, is immune from criticism as a result of the racists smears of Limbaugh. So, whatever inferiorities McNabb may possess may be unspeakable – but they're still there. McNabb, meanwhile, owes Limbaugh a hug for launching a racist attack against him; what that black man can now accomplish he owes to a fat, sweaty, red-faced white man's racism…thank you very much.

Q: When Bill Clinton's Book Comes Out, What Page Are You Going To Turn To First?

I'm not going to open it. I'm not going to believe anything in it, so why would I read it? I'll just listen to what you guys in the mainstream press tell me is great about it, and I'll know everything I need to know.

There it is again folks [bang on table], that jocular contempt for reading! Now, where have we seen that before? But seriously, I guess Limbaugh's got a point here. Why should any of us read (or listen to) anything we're predisposed to disbelieve? I can't think of any reason. In fact, instead of wasting my time with the navel-gazing practice of questioning my beliefs, I think I'm going plug up my ears with chucky Jiff peanut butter, chew off my own arms, and write hourly blogs detailing the construction in my bathtub of an enormous fecal-matter monument to myself by slamming my face into the keyboard.
