RUSH: This is so funny. Last Friday, the Palm Beach Post, they have a -- oh, guess what? The Palm Beach Post today on their website, on their editorial page is running one of their talk back features: "Is Rush Limbaugh Worth It?" Is Rush worth, whatever, $50 million a year, is what they say. And of course, this is designed to get hits, which we're going to do. We're going to generate hits for them. And most of the responses when I checked it this morning were in my favor. They had to post the negative responses four and five times each to balance it out. Then the last Friday, they've got this gossip columnist down here names Jose Lambiet, and Jose ran a piece that ran something like this: Rush Limbaugh known for his intense or something, dislike for illegal Mexican immigrants, nevertheless went to a Mexican restaurant. Now, would somebody explain to me what does opposing illegal immigrants from Mexico or anywhere have to do with going into Mexican restaurant?
The New York Daily News picked up the blurb today. It's funny! I'm sitting here, I'm laughing myself silly. "Rush Limbaugh, noted for opposing illegal immigrants, nevertheless went to a Mexican restaurant with his gal pal, Kathryn Rogers," and they quote what the bill was and the tip that I left. And I'm thinking, you people at the Palm Beach Post, just like I told CNBC the other day, if you don't get your act together over there and start reporting on this stuff accurately, I'm going to buy your paper after I buy CNBC, and I'm going to shut it down, too, and this is after I put in an offer on the Pittsburgh Steelers, which is apparently up for sale here. Well, that's the wrong way to describe it, what's going on. I happen to be privy to some of the inside details on that, but I'm not going to talk about it, I'm not going to talk about it, the Steelers, no, not going to talk about it. But anyway, the comments on the Palm Beach Post editorial page website, the opinion, "Is Rush Limbaugh Worth It?" "He should be in jail for violating drug laws," you know, this kind of stuff, but most of them are very favorable. They reflect a very enlightened understanding of markets. What do you mean worth it? Maybe they use the word deserve, I'm not sure, "Does Rush Limbaugh Deserve 50," and of course most of them say, "Hey, if somebody is willing to pay it, yeah."
Snerdley says they ought to name a park after me down there. I am the most prominent person in this community, and I am treated the way I am. I'm used to it. These are a bunch of commie libs at that newspaper, they just had to lay off 140 people, the Obama campaign staff here in Palm Beach County just suffered major layoffs. (cont.)
