America strikes back, Rush Reacts (Sunday Special * Message from Rush Limbaugh)

listen to his Sunday message on his website, something is definately wrong with his voice

[Denver Ditdat]

That's funny, I was thinking his voice sounded more like the old Rush.

I've thought that the timbre of his voice has changed over the past couple years. In the early 90s, Rush used to make frequent reference to his "formerly nicotine stained fingers". Heck, he still does occasionally, despite the fact that his nicotine comes from cigars now, rather than cigarettes.

An uncle of mine took up cigar smoking several years ago after a couple decades of abstinance. His voice seemed to take on the same tonal changes after a few years of smoking. Perhaps that explains Rush's change of voice, too.

I don't know you, but if you don't have facts- maybe you should just keep your mouth tightly closed and not type either.
Rush has told the story many times why he did not serve in Viet Nam. Maybe you should do a little research and find out the real reason.

A couple of wks ago Rush talked about his voice not being natural. He said it bothered him a lot & knew by all the emails that folks were worried. He said he didn't know what was causing the voice probs... maybe he took the wk off to have tests. All these yrs of listening to him & his beloved rantings/ravings, I have often thought about how much he strains his voice. It's catching up to him.

His voice sounds horrible! I hope he's well.

As a daily listener for over ten years, it is not the voice that has changed, it is how he is using his voice. I have detected what I would call an arrogant, condescening tone over the past month or so. I really find it objectionable and I must admit, I've turned him off often - for the first time in over ten years.

Just guessing on your question, and I didn't see the show, but Tony is an opinion writer, former speech writer, and helluva interviewer....sometimes. But top dog Brit IS the go to guy when it comes to news coverage and straight reporting. Makes sense to me that they would hand off the reins at a time like this.

[NeoCaveman]

When I say, "pursue happiness," I don't mean hedonism. You can pursue whatever gives your life meaning. You and I are not faced, each and every day, with what most of the world's population is faced with - and that is finding enough food to get through the day. We are not faced with the prospect of staying alive that day or keeping our families alive. We don't get up with our first objective to survive. We don't get up with our first objective to make sure we are not doing something, or going somewhere, where we will be discovered by some government agent. Not unless, of course, we are breaking the law.

Thanks TLB, this is truely awesome stuff from the Maha Rushie

[nagdt]

I'm sure the Taliban is busy tonight on a killing spree/photo shoot of innocents. They will release these pictures to the world (as they have been for a long time) and say WE did it.

[NeoCaveman]

Thanks Rush for taking the time to do this.

Thanks to Rush and to you Wiley

Keep on, freepin on

[Woodstock]

Rush sucks, he has become an opportunist like JJ and the like...

...Rush sucks what? I'm not sure what you are referring to?

[NeoCaveman]

Unreal

I must learn to ignore you, good Inspector, you are clearly starved for attention.

[blam]

"Why did they take Tony off the air today and have Brit fill in all of a sudden? Tony sounded aggravated right before they took him off the air.....wonder what happened?"

I saw that too. I hoped it was pre-planned that Brit would cover the main action and that he had just gotten to the studio, hence, Tony was relieved.

[Sir Gawain]

America strikes back, Rush Reacts

Who cares?

[ottoisa1]

ITHINK HES BEEN ADVISING W YNOW THEY ARE GOOD FRIENDS

Please do not say it has taken 10 years to hear Rush's arrogant and condescending manner??? (And, I love Rush). But, the only reason he lost the football deal is because Dennis Miller is even more arrogant and condescending than Rush! Unbelievable, but true!

[blam]

"I'm betting he had some "inside" info, because this particular Sunday session has never occurred previously....... Maybe I'm just getting paranoid."

I had already thought that he took last week off anticipating action at this time. ....also, I expect all the breaking news, at least in these early days, will come in the afternoon/evening when it is night there. People will be going to work tired in the mornings from trying to keep up with the action each night.

[rossusa]

I hope everything is ok but I listen to his show a lot over the internet and I have a high speed connection and his voice sounded much much worse tonight.

[DrCarl]

Did Rush write this in his new voice or his old voice?

[xm177e2]

I didn't even realize Columbus day was coming up, that is pretty clever.
