Balls Out Blog: I can't believe what Rush Limbaugh said on the radio about Michelle Wie!

You can listen here to right-wing radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh talking on his program about how he says comments made during his BadGolfer.com interview with Chris Baldwin have been taken out of context and twisted by Time magazine (Click here for Time's "10 Questions For Michelle Wie").

When Baldwin asked Rush about Michelle Wie, he responded: "It's a triumph of marketing. If she really wants to play with the men, it's fine. Let her try for a tour card. But now it's a marketing tool they're using to build her up to a level much greater than her actual accomplishments. At some point, she has to get some wins."

The problem, Rush complains, is that Time seems to have only reported the first sentence. For the record, Rush says he has no problem with Wie, that he's actually jealous of her ability.

Wie's response to Time: "Huh? Who's that? ... Uh oh. He's on the radio. I don't listen to the radio much."

No comment from Rush about Tim McDonald or William K. Wolfrum. Those guys, meanwhile, were mum as well - busy watching this video.
