Hard to say, but it would be a historical event if it happened. :O)

[Pukin Dog]

Tomorrow is a day of celebration.

Not only do we get Rush back, the odds are that in the course of 3 hours, he will gain hundreds of thousands of new listeners, of which a healthy percentage will become Conservative after hearing somethings that they have never heard anywhere else in media.

[First Amendment]

I've heard him use the phrase "formerly nicotine stained fingers" in the last couple or so months. And I listen only occasionally, as I can't get his show live (1 hour delay) and really lot of static, so it's hard to listen too for long.

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

I hope he speaks to the filibuster, hitlery's big adventure, teddy's neanderthal comment, coupling it with hillary's lemon comment and mary landrieus hateful directive to Judge Brown.

Yes, etc.

BTW, there'e no way that the Senate Dims could Filibuster Rush's return, is there?

A hundred mil? Must drive the RATS nuts. I'm all for it...

Thanks for your links.

You're welcome!

I swiped 'em from www.rushlimbaugh.com :o)

I see that THEIR link to The Blonde One's commentary is broken, though, so HERE is the FR version:

Rush bump!

[Imal]

"Not an addiction," Mr. Bennett said of his own actions, as if ticking off a list of talking points, "not a problem, no therapy, gambling too much, stopped it."

"Denial" isn't just a river in Egypt, Mr. Bennett.

[hemogoblin]

The passion of Mr. Limbaugh's loyal listeners, who refer to themselves as dittoheads,

I'm definitely a loyal listener (1981) but have never once referred to myself as a "dittohead." Damn these amateur news organizations ...

[Conservababe]

Scuse me, but why do you say Bennett is in denial? Did he have an addiction because he gambled within his own finicial means? Or did he gamble too much money in your own subjective view?

[Born Conservative]

[hemogoblin]

oops, loyal since 1991. Damn these amateur ... whatever.

" I've heard him use the phrase "formerly nicotine stained fingers" in the last couple or so months"

Really? I don’t think that’s too good.

I think that Rush’s addiction shows that drugs can overpower the best of us. And I think there’s something inherently unjust about mandatory sentences for crack, and rehab for Rush. I hope that he makes an adjustment.

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

How can you be certain that Mr. Bennett's disclosure was not entirely truthful and accurate? It seems to me to be a little arrogant to suggest otherwise without specific information to the contrary, don't you think?

[wingster]

"Rush Limbaugh has only 20 million people listening to him every day. I suspect there is a Democratic plot out there keeping him from the rest of the American people. Fifteen more years and there will be a Radio Limbaugh in Baghdad."

William F. Buckley Jr.

LMAO!!!

Rush Limbaugh--America's Most Important Natural Resource!!!

[Finalapproach29er]

"William J. Bennett, a conservative who served as the so-called drug czar during the first Bush administration, said in an interview........"

Has Bennett ever refused an interview?

[pizzalady]

".....I don’t think that I’ve heard him use the phrase, “formally nicotine stained fingers” for several years. That was a kind of in your face shot at those who lacked the will power to quit smoking as he bragged that he did his first attempt. Now I know why…"

I believe you are mistaken. I have heard Rush use that phrase many times in the past year.

Is a person who smokes cigars not smoking? So why would a smoker criticize smokers? Sorry, but I don't understand your reasoning.

[dts32041]

I think anybody that is asscoiated withe ELF as you are should be placed on crack.

"I think anybody that is asscoiated withe ELF as you are should be placed on crack."

I don’t have a freak’n clue what you’re referring to, but have a nice dream.
