At one time, Limbaugh did his program from a Midtown Manhattan skyscraper he dubbed, with tongue-in-cheek grandiosity, the Excellence in Broadcasting Building. These days, he mostly broadcasts out of a studio in Palm Beach, Fla., which he calls the Southern Command, and describes on the air as a “heavily fortified bunker.”
In fact, Limbaugh’s show emanates from a nondescript office building on a boulevard lined with tall palms. There isn’t even a security guard in the lobby. The elevator opens directly onto a pristine anteroom furnished in corporate glass and leather. An American flag stands in the corner. Only a small, framed picture of Limbaugh, bearing the caption “America’s Anchorman,” reveals that this is the headquarters of one of the country’s most admired and reviled figures.
The anteroom was empty when I stepped off the elevator one afternoon in mid-February. Limbaugh receives very few visitors at work, and no journalists from the hated “mainstream media.” When I was buzzed into the control room, I was met by Bo Snerdly — a very large man in a Huey Newton beret — who glared at me. “Are you the guy who’s here to do the hit job on us?” he demanded in a deep voice.
“Absolutely,” I said.
Snerdly, whose real name is James Golden, held my eyes for a long moment before bursting into emphatic laughter.
“It’s just that we aren’t used to seeing reporters here,” said a woman named Dawn. She is a stenographer whom Limbaugh hired in 2001, after he went deaf. These days he has a cochlear implant that enables him to hear callers, but Dawn sends him real-time transcripts of on-air conversations, just in case.

GREAT, now we got the NYT outing Rush’s location.
NOW THAT’S THE LAST STRAW ON THIS CAMEL’S BACK!
Don’t you love that they made sure to note there are no security guards.... all they need do now is send Hinckley a letter saying that Rush is dating Jodie Foster.
When I was buzzed into the control room, I was met by Bo Snerdly — a very large man in a Huey Newton beret — who glared at me. “Are you the guy who’s here to do the hit job on us?” he demanded in a deep voice.
“Absolutely,” I said......... actually, he pissed his pants! HEHE
I always wondered why he just didn’t build a studio in his home.
Rush did not call his New York building, the 'Excellence in Broadcasting' building, he called it the 'EIB' building.
There is a difference, which is lost on the nations largest gay-daily paper.
Pretty good article, except that he didn’t mention the security door code (4491).
Left Wing Recon.
NYT target designator.
There is nothing too low or too sneaky for the NYT to do to give aid and comfort to America’s enemies.

Because he did not see a security guard does not mean there wasn’t one. I suspect Rush has pretty good situational awareness.
The E.I.B. Network now has an Official Obama Criticizer. He is Bo Snerdly.”
This is hilarious
Bo (James) is the absolute best!!!
More Snerdley !!!!!
The New York Times says, "hint, hint all you crazy psycho's out there."
“Snerdly introduced himself as an “African-American-in-good-standing-and-certified-black-enough-to-criticize-Obama guy,” and declared that he was speaking, “on behalf of our E.I.B. brothers and sisters in the hood.” The bit was typical Limbaugh — confrontational, deliberately insensitive and funny. It was also a declaration of independence. Whatever special courtesies John McCain might plan to extend to Barack Obama, Limbaugh is going to conduct his air war, as he always has, by his own rules of engagement.”
Too true. When is McLame going to get in the game?
Thanks for posting; I just finished the whole article and thoroughly enjoyed it. It’s worth the time to read it all. Nice to “get to know” Rush a little better. The writer seems to like him too!
Hm...

Dittos to that. I thought it was fairly written. The $5000 tips bothered me a bit, though. Yikes!
