Bitter disappointment for fans in Philadelphia this weekend turned out to be sweet vindication for controversial radio host and erstwhile football commentator Rush Limbaugh.

"See, I told you so!" crowed Limbaugh after Sunday's game in which the Philadelphia Eagles, led by Quarterback Donovan McNabb, lost yet another bid for Super Bowl glory in the final round of the playoffs.

Limbaugh was the center of a brouhaha earlier this year when he commented that Eagle's Quarterback and unashamedly African-American McNabb was highly over rated and that the amount of attention paid to his career was not because of his stellar athleticism, but was in fact due to the obvious bias of the Liberal Media.

"I mean, come on," said Limbaugh, "any Quarterback can single-handedly take an otherwise mediocre team to the playoffs three years in a row. Big deal!"

Limbaugh, huffed at the idea that McNabb was unwillingly pulled from Sunday's game by coach Andy Reid due to injury and continued, "when the situation really called for his best efforts he

showed his true 'color' and laid down like a lazy field hand on the overseers day off! When the going got tough, they brought in the white guy." Limbaugh says his past comments have been taken out of context by the Liberal Media and he doesn't understand how anyone could read into them any racism on his part.

The mood at Liberal Media Headquarters was decidedly more somber.

"We failed him", commented a Liberal Media spokesperson. "Despite our best efforts, and McNabb's consistently outstanding performance over the years, we just couldn't sell him to the clever American public. They saw right through our shallow design. This whole McNabb affair has really been a strain on our secret agenda, I guess now we'll just get out of the sports game and go back to concentrating our efforts on our core plan: over-taxing hard working 'real Americans', limiting the freedoms and rights of your average corporate millionaire, spending money on useless programs like education and healthcare, and promoting our homo-feminazi-communist agenda."

Corporate booster Limbaugh was not without compassion however.

"With Negro quarterback McNabb out of the 'Big Game',," he said in his radio show today, "advertisers for products such as fried chicken and malt liquor will undoubtedly suffer, and I feel for them."

When asked if he holds the Liberal Media responsible for his loss, McNabb shook his head and said he thought the Carolina Panthers actually had something to do with it.
