Democrats nearly double Limbaughs audience
by Dan Spencer
Saturday, March 7th
The Democrats’ conspiracy to demonize Rush Limbaugh, directed from the Obama White House, has the talk radio icon laughing all the way to the bank.
Fridays U.S. News Political Bulletin reports Rush Limbaugh is a clear winner this week:
His ratings have nearly doubled since his feud with the White House burst into the media limelight.
Byron York asked Rush about the effect the Democrats’ plot has had on Rush’s business:
The latest numbers I have are for January, well before this kerfuffle began, and they are through the roof — six shares in NY, for example. There are daily ratings taken now in about the top 15 markets but I have not seen them yet. All I can tell you is that as of January, we booked 80 percent of all our 2008 revenue and we’ll be over 2008 by the end of this month.
According to Talkers Magazine, since the Democrats’ conspiracy was put in motion, Rush’s audience has grown from 14 million to 25 million.
As Chris Matthews said the Democrats’ plot is a great stimulus program.
Me, too.
**Thats an aRmature.**

You missed the winkie emoticon. I was making a bad joke.
.
Ok, I'll admit it. I don't know how to post 'em. I hate the HTML that I do know!
Well, there is the cost of the jet and crew and maintenance, Allen Brothers steaks at every cookout.
I didn’t know 25 million people still listen to the radio.
I wish he would use his money and buy CNN.
Can you believe these fool honkies?
Same here, I had pretty much stopped listening to any of the talk shows, but tuned back in to see what Rush would say. I just wish he would lose some weight, I worry about him and we can’t afford to lose him right now.
Isn’t that an armature?
14? Limbaugh keeps mentioning 20.
I remember when Rush first came on ABC radio in NYC. I forget whose time shot he was given, but there was a lot of hoopla for his coming and I looked forward to it with interest. That first day, he set his agenda and said that he would not be having guests to interview. I heard that, and just stopped and looked at the radio — and said to myself “ No guests? And how are you going to pull that off”?
Well — I didn’t know Rush! All he had to be was to just be himself! He had a lot of his Gorbasms and Feminazi stuff and all, and it was entertaining, but it was when he came to a subject from a different angle than anyone else did, that I realized that this was indeed a unique person.
After a while I realized he didn’t NEED guests to operate. He just had to be himself to be successful.
And he still amazes me when he discusses a current topic from a different approach than anyone else. That takes brains and insight.
I bet the WH is having second guesses by now! HeeHee!
Sirius must be praying for the return of the fairness doctrine!
he has also stimulated the sales of Spam canned meat.
You damn betcha..
..Rush, at his absolute dumbest moment is still 100 times smarter than the smartest Pres Zero henchman.
...this has to be another in a long line of pres Zero's "just damn" moments...
