摘要

However gleefully rush Limbaugh courts controversy, he could do without his current morass. First, the conservative radio host inflamed opponents with racial remarks about Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb on ESPN's "Sunday NFL Countdown," which he'd recently joined as a commentator.
