RUSH: I mentioned this earlier. Cris Collinsworth interviewed Kobe Bryant, the US "Redeem Team" star at the Olympics, and Collinsworth said, "Where does the patriotism come from inside of you? Historically what...?" Oh, speaking of inside of you, somebody needs to ask Senator Obama: When did his two daughters get their human rights?"Senator, when did your two daughters get their human rights?" ...

Can't Stop The Bleeding —
... During NBC’s coverage of the Beijing Olympics, Cris Collinsworth (above, right) quizzed Kobe Bryant on the matter of the latter’s patriotism (”our country is, we believe, the greatest country in the world”), and followed with a fairly innocuous question (”is that a cool thing to say in this day and age, that you love your country and that you’re fighting for the red, white, and blue?”). Cue grudge-holding Rush Limbaugh, who seems to consider the Bengal-turned-broadcaster part of some pinko cabal. ...

And with that popular phrase in mind, I give you today's random pairing: Rush Limbaugh and Kobe Bryant . On one hand, it's nice to see Kobe's patriotism get some props. On the other, Limbaugh is being more than a little opportunistic spinning The Mamba's feelings into out of context ammo against Barack Obama. Of course, that's also the political media age we live in (and BOTH PARTIES are habitual offenders when it comes to this tactic, so please, let's not have the thread deteriorate into a debate over who sucks worse between Republicans or Democrats). At any rate, we rarely ...

When it comes to politics, there is one thing liberals and conservatives have in common: abject stupidity.
NBC Olympics reporter Cris Collinsworth, who donated $5,000 to the Republican party of Kentucky in 2004, $1,000 to the candidacy of Republican Rob Portman in 2002, and $500 to the candidacy of Republican Jim Bunning in 1990, is suddenly "a smirking, anti-American, creep", to at least one
Kobe Thinks Patriotism Is Cool, Cris Collinsworth May Believe Otherwise —

I'm not sure where exactly Cris Collinsworth was trying to go in this interview with Kobe Bryant , but thankfully it's a place that Bryant wouldn't allow Collinsworth to take him. Listen to the way Collinsworth asks Kobe if he thinks it's "cool" to say he loves his country, because to me, it seems like Collinsworth is expecting a much different answer than the one Kobe responds with. Note ...

And All it Took Was Chris Collinsworth Sounding Unpatriotic.
Chris Collinsworth asked Kobe what he thought when he first received his Olympic jersey, and Kobe said he was in awe. He said, “I had goosebumps. I just laid it across my bed and stared at it for a while. … This is the ultimate in basketball.”
Collinsworth then asked, “Where does the patriotism come from ...
