Limbaugh Admits He Shares Strictly White Country Club with John Raese(R WV Sen Cand)

[RamboLiberal]

Senate candidate John Raese, vying to replaced deceased Senator Robert Byrd in West Virginia's delegation, may have inadvertently been outed as a member of a problematic Florida country club by no other than Rush Limbaugh.

According to the Huffington Post's Sam Stein, Limbaugh told his audience today that he and Raese have lockers opposite one another in the locker room of "prominent local club" where Limbaugh plays golf.

Limbaugh is a member of the Everglades Club in Palm Beach, which is infamous for having virtually no membership rules but still managing to keep from ever letting a single African-American join through 2008.

Among the more unflattering aspects that surfaced (when Limbaugh made a bid to buy the St. Louis Rams) was that while the club had no formal membership guidelines, as of 2008 it had never let in a black member and there had only been one Jewish member in its history.

Everglades has, in addition, not been without its share of political controversies. The New York Post reported that: "Joseph Kennedy quit the Everglades when his son became president." And in 1996, Georgia GOP Senate candidate Guy Millner resigned his membership in the middle of a tight U.S. Senate race against Max Cleland.

1. I'm amazed that Limbaugh is a member at the Everglades. Of course

it is a repub bastion for sure, but their membership mostly consisted of "old money"... In their world rush is considered nouveau riche... Of course in these economic times a membership is a membership. As an aside the story goes that old Joe Kennedy attempted to bring Gloria Swanson there one evening for dinner and they were not allowed in, even though he was a member. They said it was out of respect for Mrs. Kennedy....

2. Now everyone knows where Raese keeps his money.

And it's not in the state of West Virginia.

One would have thought that our Dem President and Dem led Congress would have ended this shit stain's decade long run on the AFN. I guess no one in Congress has the balls to take on Jabba the Rush.
