"A Hearing Limbaugh Returns to the Airwaves"
He doesn't hear yet. That will take awhile.

I, for one, am ecstatic he's back...After that goofball who was filling in yesterday, I'm sure Rush decided to move up his return...
Was kinda hoping to get Professor Williams once more though. I love the way he thinks....

After that goofball who was filling in yesterday, I'm sure Rush decided to move up his return... I heard that show...Roger Hedgecock (sp?) handled the issue of giving the WTC victims government money poorly. I'm not sure how exactly I feel about it, but Roger's arguments didn't seem to stand up well to the callers.

"And that's, by the way, after brain surgery.""
Yeah, but for liberals brain surgery would be an improvement.

But despite his words of caution, the famed talker indicated that some of his hearing had already returned. I think the author has his facts misplaced: I heard that line and took it to mean that when they ultimately turn on the implant that he'll then hear everything.
Also, from someone (me) who almost got on the show today, I can say firsthand that the current Mr. Snerdly advised me that Rush still couldn't hear anything and provided some quick behavioral advice to make the call (that didn't happen) flow better.

I was listening the the rebroadcast last night around midnight in seattle and his guest host from San Diego was coming across as a real rank amateur. Although not as abrasive, he was the "Pat Boone" equivalent of Michael Savage. He accused callers of missing his point on paying restitution to families of victims of 9-11 when, in fact, he was missing theirs, and then CUTTING THEM OFF!
I was not impressed with him as a conservative talk show host.
I am hoping Rush gets his hearing back.

"He did say that my skull was the hardest he ever tried to saw through in his entire career." LOL.

Rush was referring to someone else's experience when he said: "You turn this (implant) on and you hear every little thing.... Then you've got to learn to distinguish those sounds from voices your hearing. And then you've got to try and figure out the words." Headline is also wrong.
Seems to me it's not just Rush who's deaf.

I dunno, alan, He seems to be interacting differently with callers today...almost like he's hearing a little now....

I too am not impressed by this man.

I'm sorry - couldn't resist - but seriously, they may have 'tweaked' the callers a bit more now. The advice I received was to go ahead and state my point without asking any questions of Rush (and therefore inviting dead air while waiting for an answer). But you're right -- it does seem more like business as usual today.
P.S. - Just because I don't wanna post a vanity on the subject, I'll throw this in now: the topic I wanted to address was about the Dept. of Transportation's decision to loosen staffing requirements for Air security personnel. Rush was basically beating up Daschal for this (and pointing out his original October call for an "elite" group to guard our airports against terrorist activity. The DOT has backed off of this, resulting in a toothless air security bill (to nobody's surprise on this forum, I'm sure).
My point was simply this: it's not Daschal's DOT, it's BUSH's. The President need only order the DOT to adhere to the law and the intent of the law and make sure that everyone has -- at the very least -- a high school diploma or GED. Then how dare Daschal or any other Dem complain about it since this is still not anywhere near the idea of an 'elite' force. [Of course, the problem with this is that 7,000 security troops would suddenly be out of a job, leaving huge security holes.]

I quit listening to Hedgecock the first day he was on because he annoyed me so much. I'll be writing Rush later requesting he no longer have him as a host after replaying (UGH!) some of the shows in the archive so I can cite examples, rather than just saying "He's an idiot!"
To: alancarp
Sorry about that, alan...loading seems to be a problem today....

Rob, Roger Hedgecock is no Rank Amateur. He has had the leading conservative talk show in Southern California for something like 10 years. I didn't hear the show, maybe he had an off day, but next to Rush, I'd say Roger is as good as they come.
