My point wasn't who said it first, but that a liberal said it too. It's an apolitical observation

It's probably the optimist in me, but I like to think individuals over the age of 10 are slightly better than that.
Oh, you poor thing.Your columnist mentions this association buried in a rather long column that seems to be primarily a sports column. I'm also willing to bet that most people will recognize Limbaugh's name and most people won't recognize your columnist's name. While I don't deny that certain people may get more "riled" about Limbaugh saying it than the columnist, I think the prominence of one person versus the other plays a part as well.
My issue was that making such an observation has nothing to do with people's politics. I didn't expect anyone to really be aware of Esterbrook's beating him to the punch. They were just jumping on Limbaugh because they hate him and will take any excuse, including twisting the meaning of his words. Obviously, Esterbrook does not feel this is a Hollywood plot to discredit Romney, so therefore it is possible to state that some people will be draw a negative association from the homonyms, without being a crazy conspiracy theorist.

There is no greater insult in the liberal lexicon than calling someone gay. Catch up, man! *NM*

He'd have had more ground to stand on if he'd only said Obama was glad of the fortuitousness.

to hazard a guess, I think people noting it's stupidity has less to do with Limbaugh's politics...
