Spokesman Confirms Rush Limbaugh Dating Daryn Kagan of CNN

Conservative radio kingpin Rush Limbaugh, 53 who has announced his speration from wife Marta in early June, is dating CNN anchor Daryn Kagan, 41 a spokesman for Limbaugh has confirmed to us.

The two were spotted at a party Limbaugh co-hosted at a New York restaurant, where guests included VP Dick Cheney, NY Gov. George Pataki and Sen. Bill Frist.

The coupling came as a surprise to some friends who consider the Atlanta based Kagen as part of the liberal media axis and a feminist-but then again, opposites attract.

Kagen, who has been with CNN for 10 years, hosts 'CNN Live Today.'

I saw her this morning as I was tuning the dial. I am stunned by this actually. What next? First kerry tells us he was in Viet Nam and now Rush is dating an infobabe from CNN!!!

I think you have trouble making a meaningful post.

And on a relative basis (to you) I DO have all the answers.

[Sprite518]

If she is available, then I will ask her out. What a haughty!

I think you have trouble making a meaningful post.

You just can't grasp something that challenges your heightened opinion of your own intelligence.

I love Laura. I mean, ya, she's very easy on the eyes, but it's her personally that really makes me go wobbly.

Knows how to have fun and laugh. Would be fun to have a few beers with!

[Protagoras]

Hard to grasp the deep meaning on these childish posts with no content except superficial personal attacks.

Oh well.

being courted by Al Franken

Good L-rd, what a thought!

[hasegawasama]

OMG! lol!

[Yaelle]

His golf game has been below expectations recently

How is Rush's game? Hasn't he said that it's better than usual? I had a feeling he'd found a honey; he keeps making comments about others (public figures) not getting any from their wives or some such. I thought it was a way to subtly say he had a great previous night.

Rush, you don't want a liberal or a "news"babe. But if you are having a good time, we are not going to stop you.

Keep your head.

Being a girl, I don't have the same fantasies watching Laurie Dhue as you guys. My fantasy is sort of like a hypothesis: If you pressed her face against a glass window, COULD SHE PULL AWAY????

I really want to know the answer to that one.

[Yaelle]

No wonder he went soft on McGreevey.

That's IT! That day with his little coming out speech (I froze with my clothing half on in my closet thinking, "Oh my gosh, Rush is about to tell us HE IS GAY NOW!!!"): now it all makes sense. HE CHEATED ON MARTA.

I am going to guess that:

1) Marta took advantage of Rush's love for her
2) Rush felt sorry for himself and began to pop more back pain pills than he should
3) During the time of acute addiction, they were all but estranged
4) Once he got well, she froze him out (due to his lies, perhaps?)
5) He realized things were not going to work out
6) One lunch with this CNN chick went a bit "long"
7) He fell in love with the other woman, like the song says

[Mr Ramsbotham]

What about women who cheat on their husbands??

They're just as bad.

Depends on how clean the window is. A clean window would seal better than a dirty one.

Naah. Amy Kellogg of Fox News.
Master's from Stanford, to boot.

As far as Daryn Kagan, her eyes
are dreamy, but there's something
I don't quite trust about them.

Full Disclosure: my wife looks like a cross
between Amy Kellogg and Ann Coulter.
And an IQ of 145+ :-)

Looks like his bad taste in ties goes way back. . .

[Conservative Firster]

How about a FReeper top ten list of infobabes!!!

Sorry that you think so. I'm not proud of Rush's personal life. It is shameful. We would be the first to criticize President Clinton for drugs or multiple marriages.

Actually, the more I think about the Bush twins' presentation, I'm becoming troubled. I've been praying for Bush every day. I've asked God to open my eyes to truth. If my children said what the Bush daughters said, I would hang my head in shame.

My vote for Bush, incredibly, is beginning to soften, just when his polls are swinging up.

[Kay]

I, too, am troubled by Rush's personal life. He would be the first to complain about drugs & women in a liberal person. He's no better than the liberals. We all are not perfect but that doesn't mean we shouldn't strive for righteousness.

I can't believe I actually am changing my thoughts about the election. After reflecting on the Bush daughters, who represent their parents, I'm having second thoughts. Although, I'm still no Kerry supporter.

Think I might sit this one out.
