CNN Commentator Gloats That Rush Limbaugh Is Becoming a 'Relic,' 'as Dated as Jazzercise'

Rush Limbaugh is fast becoming a "relic," "as dated as Jazzercise or 'Macarena'" – or so says CNN regular Dean Obeidallah in a new CNN.com op-ed.

Ironically, a CNN contributor is calling someone else irrelevant. But in all seriousness, Obeidallah gloats over Limbaugh's lost ad revenue in the past year and points to his inevitable decline: "Has Limbaugh become as dated as Jazzercise or 'Macarena?' All you need to do is look at the bottom line to see that Limbaugh is in trouble."

"Regardless where he turns up, Limbaugh will likely not be as relevant to the national media as he is now. All you have to do is look at the career of radio host Don Imus," Obeidallah added later, citing last week's report that the CEO of Limbaugh's radio syndicator admitted that advertisers distancing themselves from Limbaugh was hurting his company's profits.

The left needs to get its story straight on Rush. I thought Rush was causing gridlock? Not bad for a relic but if he is a relic, how is he causing gridlock.

BTW, I’m all for gridlock if that is what it takes to stop lefties.

This Idiot should look at the Ratings and she’ll find out that Rush Limbaugh has more people listening to him between 12 and 3 PM than CNN has during the entire day.

He’s single handedly responsible for bringing Obama’s Presidency to a screeching halt because he’s a broke hasbeen.

Get it??

Yeah, I’d bet the news shows can’t go 4 days without mentioning Rush! We know the President himself can’t stop mentioning Rush for longer than 14 days, and he is probably TRYING.

LOL! Yeah, I get it. Once all of us relics are out of the way, the only ones left will be those who do as they are told and then the transformation will be complete.

It's sort of funny when someone who has no ratings (relatively) is saying this about Rush on CNN which has but a sliver of Rush's ratings.
