Oh, Rush is very relevant

Yes, if you're into football, cigars, politics and more politics.

Ron Paul needs Rush to get him attention

Paul's supporters are barely aware of Rush. Limbaugh is a fossil, a relic from the 90's. He had his heyday, and it's over. Maybe when his current marriage ends, he'll find his way back.

Rush Limbaugh, for the fifth year in the row, topped the annual Talkers magazine’s “Heavy Hundred”  talk show hosts.

He has drawn the biggest audiences of any radio talk show host in history, estimated to be more than15 million listeners a week, far greater than any individual cable news show. He is the strongest performer in Atlanta on 640/WGST-AM, though his ratings slipped as 2010 went along.

And he’s still very much loved and hated, depending on your point of view. (Haters will love an upcoming new book called “The Most Dangerous Man in America: Rush Limbaugh’s Assault on Reason.”)

Five Georgia-based talk-show hosts made the cut: Neal  Boortz, Clark Howard,  Allen Hunt, Martha Zoller and new Atlanta-based syndicated host Rusty Humphries. Syndicated sports duo The 2 Live Stews on 790/the Zone and Atlanta-based talk host Mike Malloy were included in a secondary list of 150 other notable shows.

the bottom line. In 22 years says another source familiar with the Limbaugh operation, Rush has never — not once — had a down year. With his tech empire rapidly and successfully expanding as was evidenced in December with the release of his web app and the Apple statistics, Rush is firmly at the head of this conservative talk-tech revolution. While liberal and anti-conservative operatives are trying to get away with saying his ratings are “dying,” the fact is Limbaugh has already, in the first five months of 2011, enjoyed a 10% boost over 2010 in gross revenues, radio advertising, web subs, and more.
