THE ATMOSPHERE in the studio on the morning after our dinner at Trevini was relaxed, even festive. When I arrived around 11, Limbaugh was at his computer, wearing shorts and doing prep.
Augusto, his personal chef, was there, preparing lunch, signaling an occasion. Limbaugh skipped the meal, explaining that he doesn’t eat close to show time for reasons of “burp prevention.” Snerdly, Dawn and the engineer joined me in the dining room, which looks as if it were decorated by Nancy Reagan’s fussy aunt.
Limbaugh’s program that day was, as usual, a virtuoso performance. He took a few calls, but mostly he delivered a series of monologues on political and cultural topics. Limbaugh works extemporaneously. He has no writers or script, just notes and a producer on the line from New York with occasional bits of information. That day, and every day, he produced 10,000 words of fluent, often clever political talk.
There was nothing he said that was startling — he spent parts of the show mocking Obama’s “change” mantra and excoriating those who believe in global warming and talking about foreign affairs. But if you think it is easy turning ancient Greenland, the influence of the teachers’ unions or changes in E.U. foreign policy into polemical comedy that will hold an audience for three hours — try it for 15 minutes at your next cocktail party.
Limbaugh entertains, but he also instructs. He provides his listeners with news and views they can use, and he teaches them how to employ it. “Rush is an intellectual-force multiplier,” Rove told me. “His listeners are, themselves, communicators.”

And another idiot newbie makes him/her/itself known.... Sheeesh.
“He started smoking AFTER CA hit the stands, just like the zillions of others.”
Link?
What makes you think he’s a PHONY? What do you drive?
Yeah, hard to believe this was really printed in the Slimes! Are they okay over there, and they’re really surprised by No. 5? Hahaha!! Good stuff!

Maybe they are slowly realizing at the Slimes that if they want to save their Dinosaur of a medium and keep it from going the way of the Dodo...they need to appeal to the majority of the people out there. Not just their elite upper west side cocktail party buddies.
Uh, no he didn't. he was always talking about cigars long before CA came out in 92.......
OReilly “Ted Baxter”
I agree with Rush. OReilly is a dumb ass.
You are a curious FReeper, and making friends fast, I see.
Are you even old enough to smoke?...you don’t sound like it...grow up for God’s sake.
I find it disturbing that they are printing what car he drives, hints to his studio which is unguarded, and clues to where he lives and what restaurants he frequents.
