Good for Rush. He took a show in one of the worst times of the day and built an empire, I think he's on over 600 stations now.

I heard Curtis Sliwa say once that Rush took him and some other people out to eat one night. The bill was like a thousand dollars and Curtis said Rush left a $750 tip. I like to hear that, the few wealthy people I've known have been cheap pricks.

[zildjian361]

are you serious:wacko:

[DonInNC]

Good move. With a non-conservative in the White House for the next four years and probably a Democrat controlled Congress for the next two, Rush is going to be in big demand.

[scottinnj]

It's a better deal then Stern got. Stern's salary of the reported half billion depended on subscribers and most of it is stock options. Limbaugh's 400 million is alllllllllllllll caaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaash.


It's about 38 million a year he's putting in his pocket.

Let's face it, Rush is one of the original shock jocks. And the best part is that 90 percent on his audience doesn't even know it.

You know, when I saw The Hills Have Eyes, I thought it was just another splatter movie - not a Ken Burns documentary on contemporary American culture. I'm never coming home.

Do you represent the 10% that is too-cool-for-school and thinks they know better?
Regardless of your politics, Rush is a great radio personality. He is the foil for a minority of the listening population and a hero to the bulk who listen everyday. I also believe that he is one of the most falsely maligned radio personalities that has ever been.
Have really ever listened?
He's great at what he does and I like to listen from time to time, just to see how a 'right-of-center' popular orator thinks.
Perhaps when people get offended by his comments its because he is so dead on accurate, that the truth hurts a little. He just runs circles around his critics and is always a step ahead of them.
Right or wrong---he's the man.

[Furtherman]

He's a pill head. A bullshit artist for the naive.

Because of Rush, my step-brother has a good, stable job. And, in this economy (and with a baby on the way), that's worth a heap more than cash.

I may not like Rush's slant on things, but that doesn't mean I think he's less valuable in discussing the state of the USA today.

I've listened to his show and I completely disagree with you. The man spews misinformation and has been proven as a hypocrite. Calling him "right of center" is an understatement.

[Jujubees2]

All his ex-wives must be pissed that they didn't wait for him to sign this contract before they filed for divorce.

[Death Metal Moe]

He should have a right to be on radio but I won't be listening.

this could possibly be the most unhip statement ever uttered / written in the history of humankind

[badorties]

i thought his previous contract was a mega 9 figure deal

he's syndicated on hundreds of station for 2 decades

[ScottFromGA]

well fuck....my thread got locked....

I hate that fucking search button!! But not as much as I do Limbaugh....:furious:

[jonyrotn]

400 milion dollars!!! Man I wish I was his Oxycotton supplier or his divorce attorney..

IMO, Limbaugh is a well fed, hatemonger..Who disrespects minorities and cheats on his wife..

Yeah, but it doesn't make him a bad person..Oh wait :glurps:

[epo]

Great for Rush, that's a helluva payday.

Sounds like a certian former President

I want to know more about this 10% and where this figure comes from....

"Right or wrong---he's the man".. At the risk of being a step behind and circled, I'll withhold my criticism.

There are people on the far, far right who believe Rush is a tool of the Jewish-controlled media and his job is to shift the point where the right is on the political spectrum as far to the left as possible.

Rush is a "tool" I'll give you that...

"Doesn't Rush Limbaugh remind you of one of those gay guys who likes to lay in a tub and have other gay guys pee on him?"

Actually yeah I have listened. It's been awhile but I didn't find anything all that awful about him. And it's obvious that those who hate him are mirror images of him but on the other side of the spectrum. I was saying that 90% dont realize he's a shock jock because when I listened I hadn't listened to OnA before. After I started listening to them I realized ol Rush was using shock tactics. Nothing wrong with that. Calm down chief.

I know what you meant, Pal.

[djjd]

i like rush, he makes me laugh

probably not in the way he intended, but he does entertain me

[KnoxHarrington]

I wonder how Rush would talk about a liberal-leaning media figure who once ate so much Oxy it blew out his hearing, and occasionally goes on vacation in Latin American spots best known for sex tourism?

I'm sure he'd be respectful and wouldn't imply that they were sick or wrong.

[scottinnj]

Let's face it, Rush is one of the original shock jocks.

I'd think he'd agree with that. Anyone remember his caller abortions?
