An interview by a Brit, Nigel Farndale, that is interesting more for what it says about Farndale than it does about Rush. The American people know Rush, but during the interview Farndale and the attitudes that people like him have comes through in vivid colors.
Excerpts:
Although Rush Limbaugh doesn't actually work from a bunker, he does have a bunker mentality. His studio is on the third floor of a (purposefully) anonymous building 100 yards off the white sands of Palm Beach, Florida, The building is a bunker? Which represents his mind? How do you make a building purposefully anonymous?
He has also had his quota of criticism from the media, or the liberal media, as he tends to call it. You mean they are not?
There are commercial breaks and phone-ins, but mostly it is him delivering homilies on politics and current affairs, extemporaneously. His fluency is breathtaking.

Interesting writing. Can you give me a verifiable reference for the 20 million weekly listener citation?
Like Rush cares and is losing sleep over this guy. Keep talking Rush, many of us are listening.
“But there is one issue about which I think he is dangerously wrong. Global warming. After all, I point out, 98 per cent of the world’s leading scientists in this area don’t think global warming is a hoax.”
This guy has his facts screwed up. I recall that Rush argued and provided substantial evidence that the historical record showed natural cyclical periods of temperature change and that any measureable change going on today is more easily accounted for by this natural cycle. I also don’t believe that 98% of scientists think global warming is man-made, but 98% do think it goes in natural cycles. I’ve seen many prominent scientists state that there is no way to discern any man-made effect on climate on a global scale from the natural cycle of change.

Well, at least he's not biased.
The Brits sure swallowed the man-made global warming crap huh?
