The Tolerance Nazis were awfully silent during the last few days of the Rush Limbaugh flap. Where was Tim Robbins to warn us about the "chill wind" blowing through America as a man was being forced to quit for expressing an unpopular sentiment? Where was Janeane Garofalo to champion the cherished American right of "dissent"?

How come those who thought it was just peachy for Ted Kennedy to refer to President Bush as having committed a criminally fraudulent think it's absolutely reprehensible for Rush Limbaugh to refer to an NFL quarterback as "overrated"?

Could it be....(cue Church Lady echo) HYPOCRISY?
