Republican Rep. Steve King apparently not Fergalicious
Speaking at a hearing yesterday, Republican Rep. Steve King stood up for the radio talk show host, comparing Rush's outspoken comments that got him dropped from a group of possible owners of the St. Louis Rams to the famous new Fins backers.

"I would point out that you have a couple of owners that have performed lyrics in songs that are far more offensive," King said, according to the Miami Herald. "In fact, I don't think anything that Rush Limbaugh said was offensive, but with Fergie and with J. Lo, they have, between the two of them, alleged that the CIA are terrorists and liars, they've promoted sexual abuse of women, they've used the N-word, verbal pornography, recreational drug use, et cetera, and they are owners of the Dolphins."


I always thought Republicans were suppose to be good at business? Hmm your an NFL franchise trying to attract a potential free agent. Who would you rather meet the 26 year old man at the airport as the face of your franchise... Fergie or Rush?

I had a chuckle at one sports writers opinion on the matter "Given the backlash surrounding Limbaugh’s controversial potential bid to become part-owner of the Rams, Dolphins owner Stephen Ross might be wise to say no thanks to Fergie (she has yet to officially make the transaction)." Yeah I'm sure Stephen Ross is really worried about King's comparison of Fergie to Rush Limbaugh.
