AND NOW... amidst billowing clouds of fragrant, aromatic first- and second-hand premium cigar smoke... it is time for... that harmless, lovable little fuzz ball, the highly-trained broadcast specialist, having more fun than a human being should be allowed to have, from behind the golden EIB microphone, firmly ensconced in the prestigious Attila-The-Hun chair at the Limbaugh Institute of Advanced Conservative Studies, serving humanity simply by showing up, and he’s not retiring until every American agrees with him - do NOT doubt him - with shrieks of joy at the mere mention of his name (that’s Rush, for those in Rio Linda),the Mandarin of Talk Radio, with talent on loan from G-d, at the cutting-edge of societal evolution, with half his brain tied behind his back — just to make it fair, the all-knowing, all-caring, all-sensing, all-feeling, all-concerned Maha-Rushie! America’s anchorman, truth detector, and doctor of democracy. A real man, a living legend, a way of life. Commander-in-Chief of U.S. Operation Chaos. Chief Waga-Waga El Rushbo of the El Conservo Tribe. Chief of the Patriotism Police. Leader of the Conservative Movement. A Weapon of Mass Instruction. El Rushbo (a little Spanish lingo, there). He is the man who is running America (you know it and I know it). He knows the Democrats like every square inch of his glorious naked body. He is ready to do what he was born to do — host. Get ready to what you were born to do — listen. And post your comments on the Rush Limbaugh LIVE Radio Thread.
And Rush REFUSED to support AMNESTY.
________________________
And yet he has the nerve to lecture his audience about Rubio (a member of the Gang of Eight), who supports Amnesty, as a “full-throated conservative.” Really, you see NO problem or inconsistency here?
And Rush has always bragged about not having “Mind-numbed robots” listening to him. I think at this point in time, Rush would love to have mind-numbed robots listening to him.
Agree.
All cred. Lost.
A freshman Senator quitting after one term is unusual and bears mentioning.
Unless of course he has no hope of winning again and will go down in flames in the FL primary.
BTW, has Rush mentioned the Sessions endorsement of Trump yet?
LOL. Right! Someone who doesn’t listen, isn’t a fan, has no clue what Rush could be saying today, last week, last month-—can’t discuss any minute of any show-—
but willing to weigh in (in BROKEN ENGLISH, no less!) on Rush’s negatives?
#wrongthreadforthat
Rush has been acting very weird for months. I now understand .
A brake:
I know, Limbaugh isn't running for President, but seriously...
-PJ
Little Dick Durbin is kinda funny though.
Wow, this thread for a single day is one of the most well attended threads for Rush.
2002: Rush mentions he doesn’t want anyone “going FReeper” on him.
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/695129/posts
Interestingly, that thread contains several references to Rush no longer supporting the GOP(e), which I mentioned earlier today, in noting Rush separated himself years ago from being “Republican”, and instead identified as “conservative”.
At the time that really irked me and others.
Rush Limbaugh’s lucrative $400 million eight-year contract expires this Summer. The question about “Will he stay?” applies to iHeart/Premiere in particular and to terrestrial radio in general. Short answer and prediction – yes. True, his show’s spot revenues took a hit from the Sandra Fluke controversy, which flared up four years ago, in late February 2012. That was the beginning of a miserable period for sellers on talk-based stations. What began as an outing of Rush’s sponsors broadened to an avoidance by some buyers of any “controversial” shows or stations. What’s left for Limbaugh is a core of committed advertisers who are “fire-proof.” True, the ad revenue in 2016 isn’t what it was when Premiere renewed Rush in 2008. But he still brings in money for iHeart, much of it off-air, with the website and ancillary activities. Would Rush follow Howard Stern and Dr. Laura to SiriusXM? Without mentioning Limbaugh, CEO Jim Meyer indicates to Wall Street that he’s got money for the right kind of talent deals. But one talk-industry veteran tells NOW that “Rush has said point-blank that he would never abandon them by allowing his content on ‘competing’ platforms.” This observer says “Bob Pittman loves big stars - look at what he pays Ryan Seacrest.” He says “Rush is a proud man and he wouldn’t accept an offer he deemed insulting. But I think they’ll find the right number and renew him.” Not for another eight years (he’s 65 now). But why not stay in the catbird seat for the rest of the 2016 political campaign and beyond? One nervous affiliate asks why he hasn’t heard anything about a renewal. Maybe it’s because this contract negotiation doesn’t need to be noisy.
Another path for Rush Limbaugh? Yesterday’s lead story here, about the likelihood that he’ll renew with Premiere – though not at the colossal salary he signed for in 2008 – sparked several NOW readers to suggest that he won’t stay. One talk veteran says “The best option for Rush, by far, is starting his own Internet TV/radio simulcast talk show network using the model of Anthony Cumia’s highly-successful pay site.” This pro says “there’s money there, and think of all the conservative radio talkers who could join Rush on one or more channels – not to mention ambitious pundits, experts, political consultants, ex-pols, media hopefuls, etc.” (One conservative talker may have just offered Limbaugh a glimpse of what that might look like - see the upcoming story here about “LevinTV” from Mark Levin.) Most of Limbaugh’s life, he’s depended on others to handle the business of his show and its syndication. First that was former ABC Radio exec Ed McLaughlin (EFM Media), and later it was iHeart-owned Premiere. For this renewal, iHeart probably isn’t offering anything like the eight-year $400 million contract Rush signed in 2008. That was the sweet spot for Rush, just as the economy was sinking into recession, and before the Sandra Fluke episode, and the more recent loss of key affiliates.
Rush’s affiliate losses have piled up. Stations pay money and also run spots for Rush (via Premiere), and some have determined it’s not worth the commitment. We’ve seen them week by week, and here’s a brief list – There’s L.A. (iHeart moving Rush from KFI to KEIB). New York (from Cumulus’ WABC to iHeart’s WOR). Pittsburgh (from IHeart’s WPGB, now country “Big,” to Frank Iorio’s WJAS/1320). Boston (off Entercom’s WRKO and finding refuge at iHeart’s low-rated WKOX). And Indy (Emmis dropping Rush on WIBC, and iHeart bunking Limbaugh with mostly-sports WNDE). Rush is still gold to his key advertisers, mostly the direct-response players. And he brings in money on the website and his ancillary projects that iHeart manages. Will he be tempted to be an entrepreneur this time and launch his own Internet-based venture? Go to satellite radio, which would welcome him with open arms? Or take a reduced check and a shorter-term renewal from iHeart? He could also, at age 65, simply retire. But it’s hard imagine that in the heat of the 2016 political campaign. For all of radio, Rush Limbaugh’s future is one of 2016’s most important stories.
Again, a future event, for which you criticize Rush because he is not discussing it.
Can you get off it?
You are a special kind of emotional person, aren’t you?
I bet your spouse tells you your sex was inadequate tomorrow, too.
FYI.....I was the caller and it is exactly what Trump proposes when he says we are sending them back and the good ones can come back in. It is called touchback, it is in the gang of eight and Trump won’t intentionally call it what it is. He is intentionally dumbing down his rhetoric for his supporters.
You are the one against Rush...it was a secret meeting..
Secret meetings are not supposed to be announced. If Mark Levin had a secret meeting with Obama, Sanders and Hillary about raising taxes..and he didn’t talk about it. Would you be mad at him? Sorry, Rush was NEVER the conservative leader...to me, it is US...
I was out for an hour. Has Rush made any reference to the fact that, no matter what, Trump is probably going to sweep tomorrow?
Were you the idiot who just called Rush??? If not, I’ll ask the mods to remove my comment.
Any numbers to go along with the adjectives?
Rush is the same as he always was. It's always been an us versus them situation with us being the Republican faithful.
It has become painfully clear for many of us now that the THEM includes the Republican party. Rush has become them by virtue of his being the same old Rush.
The Trump bashers here haven't quite figured it out yet. They are too damned hung up on a myriad of definitions of conservatism. Clogged brains.
If the Pubbie party does get busted up will it be replaced by the Piss and Moan Party?
