Here is video of Rush Limbaugh being interviewed last night on the Jay Leno show. Rush said he has lost 82 pounds!

Leno tried to hew the liberal line in questioning Rush, but he never missed a beat. Rush Limbaugh defended capitalism and said it is not "Barack Obama's business how much money someone makes." He said Capitalism is about "opportunity" and "freedom." Leno had tried to argue it's not right how much people on Wall Street make.

NOTE: Watch Rush drive an obstacle course in an electric car and "hit" Al Gore! . . . (WATCH INTERVIEW)

I was most gratified by the audience reaction to Rush. For a California audience, they cheered him long and loud on several points!

[Federalist Patriot]

LOL! That’s hilarious!

[Federalist Patriot]

They did seem very supportive of Rush. I was kind of surprised. Rush did a great job!

[J40000]

I love how Jay Leno, who makes sarcastic jokes for a living (making MILLIONS) can sit there and blast Wall Streeters who work very hard for their millions.

I wish Rush had the chance to point that out as well.

That was the real news. The crowd was extremely enthusiastic about every thing Rush said. Bodes well for the upcoming elections.

Yeah, I don't begrudge Jay his money -- but he's not growing th economy. Sure, he gives jobs to a bunch of people, but that's small potatoes. On the other hand, the folks on Wall St who earn big bucks are basically building entire industries, allowing factories to be constructed, firms founded, and millions of people to be employed.

But, you know, they're the bad guys.

Rush didn’t just hit Algore. He backed up and hit him again!
The crowd reaction was a surprise.

[SJSAMPLE]

Rush proved, once again, why he’s RIGHT.
He’s worth every penny of his contract.

Let us see what the Nielsen ratings will be for Thursday.
Leno back on top.

[The Great RJ]

It galls me that obviously very wealthy people like Leno are indignant that someone on Wall Street earns salaries commensurate with their own. Too bad that Rush didn't retort about how an average auto mechanic or teacher could think it was unfair it was that Leno made millions.

[NCC-1701]

“...Rush did a great job!...”

As always.

[LearsFool]

That was a very good interview/exchange. I’d like to see those two do an hour-long discussion once a week. (Sans audience.)

[Paine in the Neck]

Leno had tried to argue it's not right how much people on Wall Street make.

The unmitigated arrogance of Leno, new multi-millon $$ contract in hand, asserting that others don't have a right to earn what they can! What the hell does he do for his money -- talk?!

[murron]

I think it’s up on You Tube, and on the NBC web site.

[kickonly88]

I was wondering why Rush stopped after smacking the algore cut out. Then when he put it in reverse, I realized it was for effect. Absolutely brilliant, Limbaugh!

[mancini]

That was hilarious. I admit I was surprised by favorable audience reactions in and outside the studio!

[driftless2]

Here’s Jay Leno arguing that Wall Street bigshots shouldn’t be making boatloads of money while his own fortune is in excess of one hundred million. I don’t think Jay realizes the irony at all.

[polymuser]

Leno is no friend of America.

“That was hilarious. I admit I was surprised by favorable audience reactions in and outside the studio!”

Me too. I expected jeers and boos, but they cheered Rush. And Leno was gracious.
