A question not exactly related to all of this, but...has anyone heard Rush mention anything about Marta lately? He would mention her occasionally (always in a most favorable way) and I just hadn't heard her mentioned for awhile.

[Spok]

They're just upset because Limbaugh makes more money than all of them put together.

[familyofman]

I could be a bit off on this, but hasn't Rush thrown a few barbs the networks way over the years. Payback is always most unwelcome.

A few minutes ago Rush mentioned a recent conversation he had had with her, referring to her "the lovely and gracious Marta."

Thanks for the post! If ever he needed a strong woman supporting him, it's now.

[Inspectorette]

Yes, he's been mentioning her lately; I think we can assume all is OK with them.

"...has anyone heard Rush mention anything about Marta lately?"

Yea...he mentioned her again today.

FReegards...MUD

The Clintons started this trend .. THE POLITICS OF PERSONAL DESTRUCTION

Whenever they cannot compete in the marketplace (as with Rush), they invoke their POPD. Classic clinical projection technique.

Bolshevik barbarians, aren't they people!

You are most correct and this is what people fail to realize. And yet again another op-ed piece on how we should all feel sorry for poor ol Rush. He brought the wrath upon himself; noone else did this but him. When all you do is spend all day pointing to the failures of others over the years what is he to expect? Sympathy? Is it a little overboard? Sure it is. Is it fair? Depends on who you ask. When you stand to the front as a moral authority and slip those that you attack everyday are going to cah in on your butt. Do I feel sorry for his addiction? Sure I do any human would. Do I feel sorry for all the flack he is taking? Not in the least bit. It will blow away and people will still listen to him because he is a smart smart man. Myself? I'm split and VERY dissappointed.

[expatpat]

It (POPD) won't work in this case. Limbaugh is independent of the goodwill of anyone other than his radio audience -- and 99% of them will support him fully.

[CyberAnt]

Exactly!! And .. this is a terrible miscalculation for Hillary.

[Gippers Brigade]

Not that I'm a celebrity gawker, however I'll admit that I'm really interested in seeing a photo of Marta. Any FReeper out there aware of any Marta photos?

[Big Horn]

He mentioned Marta today while talking football.
Every network talking head is jealous of Rush because because he is much more talented.

[ladyinred]

Rush does still mention Marta. I am perplexed as to why this question is asked on almost every thread about Rush. Is it that you all think she has left him? He never talked about her all that much to begin with.

Thanks for a wonderful post. I love to see the media held accountable, and this was a very well written thorough article. My faith is still in Rush! If Katie felt so good after Rush gave her vitamins, wonder how she feels with what Matt gives her?
