Radio talk-show host Rush Limbaugh signed an eight-year, $400 million contract in 2008 with Clear Channel Communications! In terms even I can understand, that's $50 million a year -- not to mention tens of millions more in endless endorsements.
I've just got to ask: Why on God's green Earth does he make so much money? Yes, I realize Limbaugh is the de facto Führer of the Republican Party. Yet, as far as I can tell, he's making well over half-a-billion dollars the next eight years for doing nothing more than always being wrong.
Didn't Limbaugh predict the invasion of Iraq would be smooth sailing? Didn't Limbaugh parrot Bush every time he said, "The fundamentals of the economy are strong" -- all the way up to and over the economic collapse cliff, in September 2008? In January 2009, didn't Limbaugh predict the apocalypse if President Obama's economic plans were passed by the majority-Democrat Congress?
Then, on May 5, didn't Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke, a Republican, predict the economy would be out of recession by fall 2009? Jobless claims are dropping. Retail sales are improving. Thus, the stock market has been positive the past two months.
So, where's this apocalypse we were all dying for?
I'm sorry, but as the rational human being bank-rolling him, I would absolutely have to know that Limbaugh has been right about one, single, teensy-weensy thing in order to have completely justified his $400-million-plus goldmine jackpot.
Jealous? You bet your sweet, sweet apple I am! Hey, I'm wrong all the time, too. Quick -- someone write me a check for $400 million and I'll be as wrong as you want for as long as you want. Heck, I'll even go one better. I'll be wrong and over the moon to get paid a measly 1 percent of that amount for my magnificently selfless services.

What the hell is Democratic? Are you saying you never voted? Anyone who votes is being “democratic”. The noun is Democrat, yet DUers/KOS bed wetters/Ignoramuses in general love the word democratic when describing their authoritarian Party. Slip of the digits perhaps while thinking you are "stealthy"?
One of the few substantive rebuttals on the thread. Thank you.

ROFLMAO...thanks for posting my favorite pic. I use it all the time in e-mails to communicate my views to stupid people...ie, democrats.
Nathan someday when you grow up and stand on your own perhpas you’ll understand the error of your ways but I’m not going to hold my breathe on that one some people are just doomed to stupidity.

What a total buffoon! Why did he consider that the reason why he is working at a 711 is because of the Obama economy? What a dope!
Well .. Nathan better not look now, but “O” has chosen to REINSTATE THE MILITARY TRIBUNALS .. KEEP THE WIRE TAPPING IN PLACE (although the dems are doing MORE snooping than what took place under the repub admin), and “O” also is keeping the same mild restrictions on the polar bears.
What on earth will Nathan do when he finds this info out ..??
ROTFLOL .. is what I’ll be doing.
You should have read his letter about Iran and nuclear power.
I wonder how natie-poo thinks he's bank-rolling Rush.
You could also say "well" over half a billion dollars...but you're obviously too compassionate.
Compassionate; I love the word compassion...my American Heritage Dictionary defines it as " Deep awareness of the suffering of another coupled with the wish to relieve it.
I have two questions:
1. How "deep" can awareness be?
2. When was the last time any of you "wished" something into being.
I certainly hope you aren’t mouthing off to me. It sure sounds like you are. If you are protecting Democrats for being stupid - I guess that’s your version of being compassionate. I particularly like the “any of you wished something......”
Conservatives have accomplish a helluva lot more lasting good deeds than Democrats and their “I feel your pain” I’ll give you a crapload of money and it’ll be all better.....Democrats have pumped trillions of dollars into the war on poverty and the pov’s are worse off than before....
Did any of that happen? I didn't think so.
...without being called unpatriotic, a traitor or a commie worm?
Well, on those points...NO!
You are unpatriotic, a traitor or a commie worm.
The same author? I guess I’m glad I missed it.
2. You're an idiot.
3. Did I mention that you're an idiot?
4. Medication, which you apparently forgot to take today, is not the same as Kool Aid, which you apparently drink by the gallon.
5. Please tell us you were just kidding and you forgot the /sarc tag.
6. If you weren't kidding, WTF are you talking about? Having trouble recognizing a Marxist when you see one?
Karl Marx = Marxist, Barrack Hussein Obama = Marxist.
This lead me to think of the political use of the word "compassionate" and how pathetic it is when considering the actual definition.
Thus I asked the rethorical question about "wishing", sorry I wasn't clear.
This guy is AT LEAST 32 YEARS OLD and he still lives with his mother. He has an entry-type job by working at a 7-11.
Just curious, what was Limbaugh doing at age 32?
FWIW, this person could be more than 32. He says that he was a toddler in ‘77. What this guy is, is a LOSER.
