According to chairman of the St. Louis Blues hockey team Dave Checketts, who was behind the group attempting to purchase the St. Louis Rams, Limbaugh's participation in the endeavor had become a "complication and a distraction". James Taranto of "The Wall Street Journal" reported that the quotes may have originated in September 2005 from a blogger who initially discovered them on a Wikipedia page.
