LOS ANGELES (AP) - A Hollywood director says she's working with actor John Cusack on a movie about conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh.

Director Betty Thomas said Cusack's production company has a script ready that will star the actor as Limbaugh. It's not typecasting: Cusack is an outspoken liberal.

Production is set for next year, Thomas said. The working title is "Rush," Cusack's New Crime Productions confirmed Friday.

Classic flick...think I might just put it on now.

P.S. How do you change the link to a name you want?

I’m surprised that they’re not casting Michael Moore as Rush Limbaugh.

I had a similar experience. I strted watching Rush’s TV show in the early/mid 90s.

Sounds like they’re gearing up for a huge conservative smear campaign in the post-0bama era, which we are about to experience in a mere 4 days.

Not many people know that during Rush Limbaugh’s peak, before other republicans had shows, Hollywood made a sit-com with a Rush character as the lead, Henry Winkler.

It should have been a smash hit, with just the portion of viewers from his 22 million radio listeners alone, but Hollywood made a strange(just kidding) and costly mistake, they made Rush the loser, the butt of the humor, a buffoon.

Who could have predicted that a show geared to the people with no interest in Rush, his show, his fresh political insights, or why he was a media phenomena, and designed to mock, and repulse the natural audience for the show, the millions of potential viewers who were the only reason for the show to be made, would fail.

oh, I suspect if it makes him look like a big enough scumbag, there will be no shortage of liberals who would pay to see it.

So, let’s make an Obama movie. I can smell a Malpaso Production in the works.

My daughter turned me on to Rush; said she thought I’d like him. She was RIGHT! One of the first things I heard was “THE KENNEDY CHRONICLES” and “The Philanderer.” I was hooked.

Monique Junot: I figured if we had nothing to say to each other he would get bored; go away. But instead he uses it as an excuse to put his testicles all over me.

Lane Myer: Excuse me?

Monique Junot: You know, like octopus? Testicles?

Lane Myer: Ohhhh. Tentacles. N-T. Tentacles; big Difference.

Actually - closer to what Winkler did in the 70s, i.e. Jumping the shark!

Seriously, look at Joe Miklosi’s campaign against Mike Coffman in Colorado. Look at how many times they mention Rush Limbaugh.

I vaguely remember. It was when Rush had his TV show. The name of Winkler’s show was “Monty”. I don’t think it lasted one season.
