Rush to Judge
Rush Limbaugh should not be surprised. As someone who stokes controversy—often via personal ridicule—surely he expected the reaction to reports he belonged to a group interested in buying football’s St. Louis Rams. He should not be surprised by the outcome, either. The affair qualified as farce from the get-go. Given the cast of characters, how could it not? Limbaugh probably will receive a ratings boost.
