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.'

Well, I wish the best for Rush. He's done one heck of a lot for the conservative party over the last 15 years.

It seems to me he is more on the ball and wittier than ever. Perhaps Marta was just a drag on him. From some of the articles I read she sounded like a real b*tch.

If they enjoy each other, what business is it of ours?

Also, I think that in most states if you have filed for divorce and are separated, there is nothing wrong with dating.

ALL THE BEST RUSH!!!

HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM, wonder if she went to Scotland with Rush about a week ago? If so, hope they had a great trip.

AND ONE LAST THING.....How many folks out there share the same political views with their spouse but that's about all you can agree on?

[tame]

Didn't realize you'd been married before, tame. ;o)

Hey, you! Good to see you around! How's life in the new state?

Well, I've never been married yet, but I can still make Rush look responsible, BWAHAHAHAHA.

Have you ever seen Maria Bartiromo on CNBC? I used to have a serious case of the hots for her until I saw her on Celebrity Jeopardy. She was as dumb as a box of rocks and I can’t look at her the same since. I think she wound up with a negative score, and I’ll never forget that one of the answers involved the photo of the kid standing in front of the tank in Tiananmen Square. They showed the photo, mentioned Tiananmen square, and all she had to do was name the country where it happened. She didn’t know. (And she was just as dumb in every other subject). If these other info-babes are like her, my world is coming to an end. ;)

[Euro-American Scum]

Yes, I have seen Maria, back in the days when I actually had a portfolio worth worrying about and watched CNBC.

Your observation does not surprise me. Most of those talking heads are just that, talking heads. They're good at reading a teleprompter and that's about it. Fox has been instrumental and providing some serious eye candy in the newsroom. Looks like MSNBC is following suit. But that says nothing for their intellectual capability or lack thereof.

Which segues nicely into the next logical top ten list: Top Ten smart info babes.

It would seem some of you are as pure as the wind-driven snow...

That's quite a collection you've got there. No time to go into detail right now, but if I had to pick a number one in each category it would be. . .

No. 1 Infobabe -- Patti Anne Browne. Still breathtaking even with her new butch haircut.

No. 1 Guy -- Shepherd Smith. That down-home folksy wit of his is just irresistable.

No. 1 Weather Babe -- Used to be Melissa Barrington, but she's been dismissed from TWC. In her absence, a tossup between Sharon Resultan and Stephanie Abrahms. Never, and I mean never, would it be Kristina Abernathy. Don't know what anybody sees in her.

As for Rush, considering his recent and long-term success (or lack thereof) with women, I think he's be well advised to give it a rest for a while.

I'm going to change one though, Add Martha Macallum to the top 10.

Well this one is for you then:

[Euro-American Scum]

Oh my! Be still, my pounding pulse. Interesting how Patti Anne lost the hair now that she's married. Still looks great though.

And your Fox News chorus line post is simply awesome. And here I thought I was a Fox News junkie.

[Lucky2]

This is the first I've read of Rush dating a lib on cnn.
I was wondering why he sounded so at peace while in the middle of a divorce...

[ladyinred]

Kay, with all due respect, if what you are saying is the profile of a "true conservative" then I guess I don't want to be one.

[katdawg]

"CNN girls are easy."

Are you speaking from experience? LOL

[Brimack34]

When I heard this a few days ago. I knew it was her, that is the only hot chick on CNN. Sorry Zahn.

[danamco]

Thought Marla brought out a 'softer side of Rush; or maybe he was just happier.


I believe she was the major factor of him loosing all the weight!?!

[DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet]

Rush is not "fat", nor is he "gross looking". Furthermore, I'll bet he's fascinating. It's not hard to see what it is that might attract her to him.

Furthermore, maybe she's tired of being surrounded by men whose testosterone levels don't begin to approach her own.

Won't take too much credit for it. Someone else has it on their website.
