You raise an interesting point. But I find it hard to believe with the public record of Rush’s wealth, that he does not have security.
And based on his residence and vehicles, one would expect there to be more than adequate security around the clock.
One of the conditions for such an article would be not to mention it. That’s speculation on my part.

Thank goodness for Rush. Without him, there would have been no Hannity, Levin, or any of the others. Basically, without Elrushbo, we would have very little conservative talk or word out there. His success got the others to try and give it a shot. Without TALK RADIO, Conservatives HAVE NO VOICE in the media, none.

It was well worth reading the whole thing. Thanks for posting the link.
Rush is an American original. Even the NYT had to give him his due.

A fastidious man, Limbaugh has a keen eye for domestic detail. His staff lights fragrant candles throughout the house to greet his arrival from work each day.I find that very weird.

He’s hooked on the fragrance of Gardenia-scented candles.
He talked about it on his show because he knew it was coming out in the article.
I guess everyone has a right to some idiosyncracy that others don’t “get”.
In most cases others wouldn’t even know such details unless someone wanted to tell on themselves.

They might not have slimed Rush much, but what they did do is (a) identify where he broadcasts from, (b) make it clear that there is no real security, and (c) identify the only real concern for someone trying to hit the place, namely that Snerdley is a big guy. Yep - and all at the top of the piece...

I think the strength of his personality and his genuine congeniality might have surprised the reporter some. They may hate his political leanings, but how can you hate a man that is just so much fun to be around?

I have a family member - 6 foot 4 - black belt - retired police chief - who's the same way - - has a very sensitive sense of smell. His wife seems to always have a scented candle burning somewhere. After a while it seems normal...

Dear Rush -
If you lurk here on FR, the nagging is about to begin!
BEEF UP THE SECURITY!
Then, secondly, if you sit in a room with a scented candle burning for as little as 45 minutes, enough VOC’s are emitted by a candle burning for 45 minutes in an average room to make a child sick. - I know, I sound like Al Gore, but if you are getting headaches and don’t know why, here’s a clue.

Hes hooked on the fragrance of Gardenia-scented candles. He talked about it on his show because he knew it was coming out in the article. I guess everyone has a right to some idiosyncracy that others dont get.It isn't the candle part that I find weird. It's the staff lighting them to "greet" him every day that I find weird. I thought he was a manly man. Now we find he likes to be pampered.

It never fails to tickle me at how big a thorn Rush is in Liberal's craw. Keep it up, Rush! Keep it up!

Rush, if you lurk here, upgrade your security NOW.
That was my first thought.
Set him up for a kill, or a kidnapping.
