JIMMY WALKER IS DYN-O-MITE

This story could not have been predicted by me. Jimmy Walker, famous as JJ saying "Dyn-o-Mite" on the popular television sitcom Good Times, is now writing opinion pieces for the Jewish World Review. In a recent column, he weighs in on Rush Limbaugh's departure from ESPN and subsequent entry into a drug rehabilitation program.

There were no "racial overtones" in what Rush said on-air. He was just reporting the facts - as troubling as they may be.

Like the odor of a dead skunk, Affirmative Action has floated its way into the NFL. The Left has a double standard. When someone on the Left says something about race, they're standing up for "the people."

But if someone on the Right dares to opine about race, he's a racist.

Of course Rush's comments had nothing to do with race and everything to do with the NFL's obscene policy. And what happened to the Right of Free Speech? Rush isn't entitled to it? But of course, the libs are. They've called Rush everything from a racist, an idiot, an imbecile, and vile. And don't forget the book titled, "Rush Limbaugh is a Big Fat Idiot." Imagine if someone wrote a book titled, "Al Roker is a Big Fat Idiot."

Rush Limbaugh surprised his radio audience on Friday by announcing he was checking himself into a drug rehab facility. Rush has to be taken to task for a certain amount of hypocrisy because if he were Howard Stern or Al Franken, he would've been all over them. That, however, is but a single demerit in an otherwise stellar career.

I've got one thing to say: Long Live El Rush-Bo!

For a black entertainer to express a conservative point of view is rare. For a black entertainer to support and applaud Rush Limbaugh is astonishing.
