They post this menu in honor of Black History Month, and a disgruntled employee took a picture of it and e-mailed it.

Those people would never, ever engage in anything so offensive, would they? But there they are &#8212; and it was a couple of disgruntled employees who snapped pictures with their cell phones, and the pictures were all over the net. <\/line><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mediaite.com\/online\/nbc-cafeteria-celebrates-black-history-month-with-fried-chicken-special\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/01125115.Par.4584.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"450\" height=\"660\" class=\"alignright\"\/><\/a>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: By the way, I\u2019m reminded of something. We\u2019ve got the NBC cafeteria sign in honor of Black History Month: fried chicken, collard greens. It\u2019s a giant sign as you walk into the cafeteria, and I\u2019m reminded what happened to Fuzzy Zoeller at the Masters after Tiger first won there. Fuzzy was asked what he would say to Tiger. &#8216;Well, I just hope you don\u2019t bring fried chicken to the championships dinner next year,\u2019 and he lost Kmart, which is a million-dollar endorsement, he lost all kinds of endorsements, and I happen to know this from people that would not let that die. Now here\u2019s NBC, hey, we\u2019re not only talking about it, we are offering it, in honor of Black History Month: fried chicken. The only thing that\u2019s not on the menu is watermelon. <\/p>\n<p>Now, Snerdley, how could I do a media tweak and turn this into my having written the sign? How could I, \u2019cause this is what they did with Rahm Emanuel and the R-word thing, is I started it all. So NBC and their cafeteria has got this sign in honor of Black History Month with fried chicken. Since I mentioned watermelon they\u2019ll put me in there: &#8216;Limbaugh insulted blacks on his program yesterday by saying the fried chicken dinner is not complete without watermelon.\u2019 I\u2019ll tell you what, that\u2019s what I\u2019m going to do. Next week on Monday, it\u2019s Presidents Day but we\u2019re going to be here. We\u2019re going to call a place and we\u2019re going to have chicken strips, chicken breasts, white chicken meat delivered here for the whole staff. Well, I know Snerdley doesn\u2019t eat meat, but he can at least smell it, and we will have collard greens and watermelon, we\u2019ll bring it all in here. (interruption) Well, it doesn\u2019t matter. Snerdley doesn\u2019t like it, he can\u2019t eat chicken. (laughing) He\u2019s a vegan, and he doesn\u2019t like watermelon, but the rest of the staff does. But that\u2019s not the point, Snerdley. You\u2019ll still be black enough to criticize, don\u2019t worry about that. <\/p>\n<p>What I\u2019m going to do is make a big deal, and we\u2019re going to turn this around. You watch. By Monday, since they haven\u2019t reported the NBC sign anyway, that\u2019s only because a couple employees were offended and took pictures with their cell phones and it\u2019s all over the Net, oh, this is going to be fun. Folks, don\u2019t tell anybody we\u2019re going to do this. Psst, keep it between us. Don\u2019t tell anybody. We\u2019re going to make a big deal of ordering fried chicken and watermelon for the whole staff here on Monday, in honor of Black History Month. Ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho. I know what\u2019s gonna happen, we all know what is going to happen. Hopefully Al Sharpton, the Reverend Jackson will go ballistic here. And then on our website we can put the picture of the NBC cafeteria sign. <\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/01125115.Par.25226.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignright\"\/>RUSH: What\u2019s the question, Snerdley? No barbecued ribs, no barbecued ribs. Don\u2019t complicate this. You want some tofu? We\u2019ll get some fried tofu, but you don\u2019t eat barbecued ribs anyway. Now, I\u2019m going to show the picture on the Dittocam. Let me zoom in tight here. This is the cell phone picture that went out, it was taken by the member of the band of Jimmy Fallon\u2019s show. This is the commissary at 30 Rock. NBC, in honor of Black History Month: fried chicken, collard greens with smoked turkey, white rice, black-eyed peas, jalapeno cornbread. You see it. I want to provide video of this so it can be spread even further, all the way across the World Wide Web. And of course it helps that our camera here is HD, which will not obscure the quality of the whole thing. So that\u2019s the picture. That\u2019s at 30 Rock. And again, the employee, NBC employee was Questlove. So far one million people on Twitter have seen it. Questlove is the band leader and drummer for The Roots, which is the house band on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Now, ladies and gentlemen, was it not a cable network owned by NBC, which led the charge saying I was mean-spirited, a bigot and so forth in that Michael J.
