At one time, Limbaugh did his program from a Midtown Manhattan skyscraper he dubbed, with tongue-in-cheek grandiosity, the Excellence in Broadcasting Building. These days, he mostly broadcasts out of a studio in Palm Beach, Fla., which he calls the Southern Command, and describes on the air as a heavily fortified bunker.
In fact, Limbaughs show emanates from a nondescript office building on a boulevard lined with tall palms. There isnt even a security guard in the lobby. The elevator opens directly onto a pristine anteroom furnished in corporate glass and leather. An American flag stands in the corner. Only a small, framed picture of Limbaugh, bearing the caption Americas Anchorman, reveals that this is the headquarters of one of the countrys most admired and reviled figures.
The anteroom was empty when I stepped off the elevator one afternoon in mid-February. Limbaugh receives very few visitors at work, and no journalists from the hated mainstream media. When I was buzzed into the control room, I was met by Bo Snerdly a very large man in a Huey Newton beret who glared at me. Are you the guy whos here to do the hit job on us? he demanded in a deep voice.
Absolutely, I said.
Snerdly, whose real name is James Golden, held my eyes for a long moment before bursting into emphatic laughter.
Its just that we arent used to seeing reporters here, said a woman named Dawn. She is a stenographer whom Limbaugh hired in 2001, after he went deaf. These days he has a cochlear implant that enables him to hear callers, but Dawn sends him real-time transcripts of on-air conversations, just in case.
The media doesnt know about this place, she said. They dont know where we are.

Sounds like the slimes just sent out a hit. let all the whacko leftys know there is no security...
Nag Champa has a history with us old "hippy's". It was frequently used the mask certain other smoky scents. The stuff we smoke now still costs about the same, but it's legal!
I guess you’ve never heard Rush talk about his mother. He loved his mom so much. IMHO, Rush adores women. Thinks about them all the time. He’s very normal that way, ime. :)
Definitely: High Priest. A twofer. lol
Nag Champa. Thank you - I'll check it out.
While that used to be the case, today, those in the know apply for civil rights restoration after they have served their sentence, and rights are often restored, including voting and gun rights.
If the judge if particularly friendly, a good lawyer might even get their clients criminal conviction expunged, so it will not regularly appear when they have a background check, and do not have to indicate that they were convicted of a crime when applying for a job.
But this is not a major issue, as while the majority of rights restorations are for guns, the vast majority don’t care if they can vote, and aren’t likely to have their record cleaned because of the nature of their crime.
Yup. He’s a broadcaster of truth in an ocean of lies. He stands out like a lighthouse on a stormy night.
You are very easily "bothered"....or is it a little bit of that green-eyed monster?
What's with the "monarch" - "minions" analogy? If I had to chose a job, being one of Rush's "minions" would be tops on my list.
I'd undoubtedly be extremely well-paid and have job security unless I screwed up. I'd perform my duties in a mansion with a luxurious tropical setting overlooking well-manicured grounds and the deep blue sea.
I'd enjoy a scintillating, educated, witty, lovable fuzz-ball boss, eat kitchen meals of the finest foods with Allen Brothers' meats, be surrounded by maximum security....not to mention seeing or meeting world-famous people at Rush's parties and house-guesting weeks....and if I was a live-in, I'd have my own sleep-numbered bed.
Not a bad job. I'd be a Minion for Rush any day.
Benign monarchy ain't half-bad.
Vive le Rush!

That’s good to know. Makes sense too. El-Rushbo being a billionaire and a conservative is not likely to be involved in any crime.
Yup, if you got it flaunt it.. you only get one time around in this world, besides there are no pockets in coffins..
anus miribalis!!! bttt
Why should that bother you? If I had the money and the size of home that Rush has I darn sure would hire folks to do the jobs I wanted done. Beside the fact I would be giving employment to others and therefor sharing my success, if he just kept all his money and did all his own work then people would say he is stingy and selfish.. No one can have it both ways!
i bet there is now fools
along with Reagan and Newt, the three most influential folks that can pass for conservative since the Buckley/Goldwater days
Now that there is a “security goddess”...
btt
