Conservative radio talk-show host Rush Limbaugh has issued a unique challenge to cable network MSNBC. On his radio show Tuesday, the ever-modest Limbaugh said that the cable network is trying to "build its ratings on my back." From his website:
"I challenge you, MSNBC! Thirty days without anything mentioning me. No video of me, no guests commenting on me. See if you can do it ... Let's see if you can do Rush withdrawal. Let's see if you can run your little TV network for 30 days without doing a single story on me, and then let's take a look at your ratings during those 30 days and see what happens.
Since the election, Limbaugh has emerged as the defacto "voice" of the GOP — or at least, the loudest one. In January, Limbaugh made his infamous "I hope Obama fails" comment, and was featured in a Vanity Fair article titled "The Man Who Ate the GOP." Earlier this month, Limbaugh took aim at former Secretary of State Colin Powell, telling him to "become a Democrat, instead of claiming to be a Republican." Cheney joined the fray, remarking (on Limbaugh's radio show, of all places):
" ... my take on it was Colin had already left the party. I didn't know he was still a Republican."

...snicker....
Rush is so far ahead of the rest of the MSM.
Good old VP Cheney, I love that man. From a dying breed of men, much less politicians.
The Left hates fact, they are in love with poverty, death and misery.
Rush represents logic and hard work, the opposite of the Left.
ROFLMBO
I wouldn’t call MSNBC “the world” ,leftard Yahoo news copy writer.
I’ll bet he can go longer not saying any thing about MSNBC than they can go without creating a store about him!!!
I see. Heh heh. He's the "loudest." He's a "loudmouth." Fuh-nee.
So, if say, Chris Matthews "emerged as the defacto voice of the DNC," well, would he be the "wettest" one? The "spritziest?" The "spittingest?"
ping
He'd be the tingliest.
Thats gonna leave a mark
I actually rushed in where angels fear to tread and WATCHED MSNBC one night.
From what I can tell, without waterboarding, Bush, Rush and every Fox News personality and the entity that IS Fox news, they have zero content.
~~PING!
That is NOT where he said that. It was on Face the Nation.
Way to go RUSH!!!
check this story out!!
He should start charging them for every time they USE HIS NAME....get a copyright or something.....wouldn’t that be a hoot!!!
On Morning Joe, Joe responded by repeating Limbaugh’s name nearly a dozen times. They did, finally, get around to mentioning that Limbaugh has “resigned” as titular leader of the Republican party and named Colon Powell as the defacto titular leader of the Republican party.
If he were to do that, I would wonder if the State of New York would come after him for any income he generated by the use of his name within the state. From the way he talks about that subject, I would not be surprised.
