Ignore my last post. I just read he went deaf in 2001. Wow! Either time is flying or Im getting older.
I think it's fair to say both are true!

The man has a cat and smokes cigars. A few candles couldn’t hurt, LOL.

Rush has enough money to hire a battalion of operators from Blackwater. I doubt someone with his profile would go unguarded.

Rush has made no secret of liking “the good life”. Doesn’t surprise me that he has somebody do a lot of stuff for him. Whatever...

If I had his money I’d have a house full of servants, too, and would be proud of it.

Read the article and the Slimes made a monumental effort not to slime Rush much.I listened to an NPR interview of the writer yesterday. The NPR guy was livid that Limbaugh had been portrayed so positively.

After reading the entire piece, I actually found it to be pretty fair and informative. While I still don’t like the “hit scouting report” aspect discussed above, I no longer think that was intentional by the writer.
BTW, someone above asked if Rush was a billionaire. The article mentions that Rush “toys with the idea of buying an N.F.L. franchise.” If true, that means he’s almost certainly in the billionaire range, if not well within it. N.F.L. franchises, even down-on-their-heels ones, don’t come cheap!

I am about to read the article, but was worried about the title.

Is Rush pregnant? I had better read the whole thing.

I’m surprised that the article was as fair as it was. I wasn’t surprised that Rush was unafraid to meet questions about his pain killer addiction forthrightly. People, especially on the left, wanted to see him be forced to embrace the “victim” stance and the subsequent weakening that would bring to his image and ideology, and he was smart enough and honest enough to not do it. I applaud that.

that fotograph is what I would call a hit shot. He said on his show that he liked it. I think it's great.

The picture makes Rush look like a satanic Archie Bunker. But the article was pretty fair and informative. I enjoyed getting a glimpse into his life.

They better not piss him off. I hope/wish Rush would start a network for truth.
I've wished that for years, a counterpoint to the likes of CNN and pmsNBC, a news conglomerate that emphasized it's conservative line and wears it as a badge of honor instead of pretending to be unbiased. Like Fox news was before the era of Oh'Really, Whorealdo and Greta Van Deadchickoftheweek.
I suspect Rush could get something like that off the ground with just the power of his brand without even having to put a penny into the pot.

They might not have slimed Rush much, but what they did do is (a) identify where he broadcasts from, (b) make it clear that there is no real security, and (c) identify the only real concern for someone trying to hit the place, namely that Snerdley is a big guy. Just because he did not see men with guns does not mean they are not there. Rush is not a dope.

If you see one of these driving in Palm Beach, it might be Rush behind the wheel. Sweet ride!

Limbaugh claims he broadcasts from a bunker.
Savage claims to broadcast from a bunker
Mark Levin claims to broadcast from a bunker
John Gibson claims he broadcasts from a bunker.
I believer a few other conservatives claim to broadcast from bunkers.
1. It's old. Think up something new.
2 It's not a great advertisement for their state of mind.
To: don-o
No kidding. It was probably easy to fool this interviewer.
