OT, but not really. Even when rush limbaugh is trying to be hip, he falls short ….

NEW YORK (AP) - Rush Limbaugh had his own view of George
Steinbrenner.
“That cracker made a lot of African-American millionaires,”
the radio commentator said Tuesday on his show after the New York
Yankees owner died at age 80. “He fired a bunch of white guys as
managers left and right.”
Rev. Al Sharpton called Limbaugh’s statements “repugnant and
offensive whether they were intended to be facetious or tongue and
cheek.”
“For the last 20-years I have known George Steinbrenner and we
have quarreled over diversity and community programs but I always
found him fair, direct, and genuinely prone to do what he felt was
right,” Sharpton said in a statement. “He generated a lot of
money for a lot of players as well as for baseball as a whole. …
Mr. Limbaugh and his broadcasters owe his family an apology.”
