Pop a few Oxycontins and it'll all make sense.

So....you've been released?

I guess we are slated for more "humblegunner" drivel folks.....the spew has begun.

someone maybe jackson himself says it that way so as not to be racists (his words, tongue in cheek) he must also pronounce it that way.

rio linda was about a story about how backwards that place was if i remember correctly.

and reish would say his last name long when say giving a speech so Rush exaggerates it.

I know that’s what he says. That’s not what happens.

he really is imitating how Wm. F. Buckley said the Most Reverand's name

We have a winner!

Jackson used to appear on Mr. Buckley's "Firing Line" show, and this was how Mr. Buckley referred to the race huckster. Rush is trying to copy Mr. Buckley's inflection, and doing a pretty good job too.

If you actually listened to Rush you would know the answers to all your questions. I know the answers but will not share them with you hoping you might do yourself a favor and tune in yourself.

RE: Rush Limbaugh’s wives.

I only know the last two since I started listening to him in 1998.

Martha Fitzerald I knew quite well as she also appeared on his (now defunct) TV show.

Kathryn Rogers is the current one.

I don’t know who the other two are.

I wonder why you even bothered to post this as I've been getting answers from almost everybody else.

Open Line Friday simply means callers can discuss whatever they wish. Every other day, Rush picks the topic(s) at hand, and callers are screened to ensure they wish to discuss said topics (not something of their own choosing). Fridays....(almost) anything goes. That’s all.

Bingo. I thought the correct answer would never appear. Take the (Pabst) Blue Ribbon.

Oh. I thought you were confused by it, but obviously you aren't.

Only Rush could explain to you what you need to know, it's his show and he makes it very clear that he runs it like HE wants to...so I guess if he varies from the original premise of a show on any given day, it's his perrogative.

But talk radio is much like any other conversation between people, you start talking about one thing, and it almost always melds into other subjects.

Sorry I couldn't be more help.

He's mocking Jesse Jagmo's talking style.

Nope not even close.

He is lampooning William F Buckley's strange voice cadence when he spoke about Reverend Jesse Jackson.

Oh these are easy ones.

He picks on Jackson and Reich’s manner(s) of speech. In effect, he’s imitating them. Yes, they’re really that annoying.

As for Rio Linda: Having lived in the Sacramento area for years (and remember that Rush first hit it big in Sacramento before he went national), I can best describe Rio Linda as a sort of poorer, trailer-park-ridden, cars-on-blocks community of what would be known as rednecks...if they were in the south. In other words....none too bright.

Also realize that Rush, back in those days, got more than his share of call-ins from idiots in Rio Linda....hence his denigrating reference to that joint to this day.

Been to Rio Linda one time back in 2005. My impression was it seemed like a dumpy town. Been through West Sac as well. I know the part by the bridge that goes into downtown Sac has been improved but from there to I-80 by IKEA needs some work.

In past years when I been to California, I would stay at the downtown Sacramento Hostel and go out to Davis to hang out include do some bike riding.

From here:

The Reverend Jesse Jackson, Sr. was born in Greenville, South Carolina in 1941; he was educated in the Greenville public schools, then attended the University of Illinois on a football scholarship, subsequently transferring to North Carolina A&T State University. While there, Jackson became active in the nascent civil rights movement in the South and led various protests and sit-ins at local restaurants and other businesses. Upon his graduation, he moved to Chicago to begin divinity studies at the Chicago Theological Seminary and devote his energies to the civil rights movement.

Though he began characterizing himself as a Baptist minister in 1968, Jackson had never actually earned a traditional ordination. He failed out of the Chicago Theological Seminary during his first year there. Kenneth Timmerman -- author of the authoritative book Shakedown: Exposing the Real Jesse Jackson -- explains: “[There is normally] a two- to three-year process for earning that title [Reverend]. Jesse Jackson got himself ordained two months after Martin Luther King was shot. It was essentially a political ordination, a shotgun ordination. ... He did not go through this two-year process. He never submitted himself to the authority of the church. He has never had a church himself, and he has been accountable to no one.”

It would not be until the year 2000 that Jackson received his Master of Divinity degree from Chicago. By that time, his son --Congressman Jesse Jackson, Jr. – was on the board of the seminary. The younger Jackson had earned his M.A. in theology from that same institution a decade earlier.

Exactly correct. I recall the show when Rush gave the explanation. W.F. Buckley was interviewing the good Reverand and was cuffing him around intellectually. Calling him “Reverand JACK ssss on” in his east coast, hoi poloi, diction. I was hysterical to listen to Rush explain it.
