Source article gives more well-rounded account of this situation. (Unfortunately, complete stories can't be told in 1000 characters or less.) By the way, I love how Barack is responding with dignity, because it doesn't take "magic" to make Rush and his followers look even more ignorant and childish by comparison.

How many "chances" does Rush get before he gets Imus-ized? He's a fat, addiction-proned, blabbermouth who serves as a great example of a pussy, white zit on America's ass.

I agree. He's such a hypocrite. Saying people who use drugs "should be thrown under a jail", but yet he goes to rehab for his drug addictions and everything's back to normal. If any of us were in the same situation, the very least we'd have to go through is losing our job.

P.S.
The closest Rush has ever been to "p*ssy" is in that last sentence you wrote.

The song is a parody of a NYT comment. You should seek to have the NYT shut down if you're really that offended.
