savage #4...?!
I remember when he was a night sub at KGO. I used to follow him closely and loved him. He was later at KSFO, and then went national. Then he basically went nuts.
He’s a terrible boss —extremely mean and vindictive. He’s also politically unreliable. Good story teller? Absolutely.
Rush is pure class and LOYAL to his people —any of his people. Does not surprise me at all that his maid was scoring pills for him back when he had that problem —people who KNOW Rush can’t help but love him. I mean, ANYONE that gives him a chance. He overpays them and loves them, nurtures them.
Back in Sacramento when he was nobody it was cool in town to marginalize and insult Rush —there was simple envy, but it was ideology also.
He was poor and when he tried to drive to Tahoe (high in mountains) his beater boat car overheated. He lived in Rio Linda (that’s an actual place and I will aver that it’s a sh*thole) cuz he couldn’t afford anywhere else —it was that bad. He was invited to a fancy dinner in Granite Bay, that’s where Sacramentans live if they’re super rich:
They were all powerful and influential, and Rush at first thought it was a lucky break —he was flattered and honored. The host —a media big-shot— pushed everything off the conversational plate at this dinner party and spent THE ENTIRE DINNER telling Rush how stupid he was and how his show would NEVER succeed.
And Rush showed class, and didn’t throw a scene and get mad, and he just smiled and took it. For HOURS.
Rush’s life is a story in tenacity and heroism —I will never stop loving Rush Limbaugh, the great conqueror who never forgot his friends and was a Good Winner.
I think Rush needs to think about making a anime cartoon pilot to later complement his soon-to-be shattering success in kids books.
People should check out the Rabbi Daniel Lapin —noted author and politically conservative fan of Christians everywhere.
He is on KSFO 560 AM, Sundays only, from 5 am - 8 am.
I set my alarm, wake up on Sunday and drive my car in the dark to a place where my radio can get him and I park, just to sit there and listen —I’m serious.
He is that good.
I would say he is on the level of Rush Limbaugh, in fact, although comparatively an unknown in the radio world:

I just love the way he wants everybody to reach their full human potential. It is wonderfully inspirational.
The other great thing about him is all the charity work he does to fight leukemia and the money he raises for the Marine Corps Law Enforcement Foundation. He’s always taking days off to attend some charity event.
The #2 or #3 on the list should be Mark Steyn, Rush’s frequent guest host. He is a real treat to listen to.
Good insights.
