I remember watching the coverage of a panel on terrorism and the media over the past summer hosted by Rush Limbaugh. I even wrote about it (a post I ended up not publishing). The hook line – for me – was watching an interview with Mary Lynn Rajskub, the actress who plays frazzled ubergeek Chloe O’Brien on 24. <\/em>She seemed perplexed and mildly miffed that conservatives in particular seem to love the show that’s made her a star.
\nThe story has apparently come back from the dead-pile via <\/a>News of the Weird<\/a>, <\/em>or so it seems, with wags linking Rajskub and…Rush Limbaugh?:<\/p>\n

ACTRESS Mary Lynn Raj<\/strong>skub<\/strong> of “24” wants to set the record straight – Rush <\/strong>Limbaugh<\/strong> has not<\/em> bedded her, nor will he ever. “Last summer, I was on a panel about terrorism that [he] was moderating,” the blonde tells FHM. “He said hello to everyone and kissed me full on the lips. I was like, ‘Oh, that was odd.’ Then the picture was on the Internet and people thought I was going out with him. He’s brilliant and hilarious, but I wouldn’t say I wanted to get it on with him!”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Well, she’s not my type either. Oh, who am I kidding; yes, she is.<\/p>\n

But that’s not the story here. Part of it, as Brian Maloney notes<\/a>, is Rajskub’s flirtation with career suicide:<\/p>\n

You’ve got to give Mary Lynn credit for one thing, however: in Hollywood, it takes guts to admit you believe Rush Limbaugh is “brilliant and hilarious”. Could that alone cost her a future role or two?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The other part:\u00a0 The forum in question was about terrorism.\u00a0 Rajskub plays a supporting role in a show about <\/em>terrorism…<\/p>\n

…oh, never mind.\u00a0 I’m sure it makes perfect sense.<\/p>\n
