Rush Limbaugh on Tuesday laughed at Democrats for having tried to use the radio host’s now-infamous “slut” comment to their political advantage, gloating about recent polls showing President Barack Obama’s approval numbers tanking while taunting, “They thought I was finished.”
“Remember, one week ago, they thought it was over. One week ago, they thought for one day, there was a Santa Claus. Normally, they don’t believe in Santa Claus, but they did,” Limbaugh said at the beginning of his three-hour afternoon show. “They thought I was finished. They thought you [the listeners] were vanquished, and Obama was elevated to heights that would make him unbeatable.
He added, “And don’t doubt me when I tell you they are in shell shock.”
As he played a series of audio clips of media commentators suggesting a few weeks ago that Limbaugh calling Georgetown University law student Sandra Fluke a “slut” was a “gift” and political “opportunity” for the president, Limbaugh said, “One week after launching this all-out attack on your host — a sure winner! Going to launch Obama and the Democrats back to electorate success! What happened?”

“What station do you use to record Rush on Dar.fm?”
____________________________________________________
IIRC, I selected by the program, not the station, but I see that they record my Rush from KFBK.
I have never missed a beat.
My little business along with a dozen other little businesses sponsored his 2 Rush to Excellence speaking engagements here on the far north coast of Calif. It entitled us to 2 private receptions with him. He flew the Red Eye commercial airlines to Sacramento where he was picked up and flown up here by private aircraft...
“You had a Collins SW radio? Wow, those were good radios!”
_______________________________________
Well, Collins is famous for stability and selectivity, but a bit weak on sensitivity.
As a ham I had Drake, but I was in the radio communications business and had the old Collins 51J3 rack mount receiver
in my business shop for some test and calibration procedures, but mostly as a novelty.
There was some Black Guy from Politico going on and on about Rush, implying that his comments somehow unmasked the evil that the Liberals always knew existed in Rush's soul.
He was giddy about Rush losing sponsors along with some empty headed brunette nodding her approval. Of course we all know that Rush is easily replacing the sponsors that bailed, but these people were acting like all this is new.
To top it off, the brunette was salivating about the fact that the FCC might boot Rush off the air. Bashir couldn't contain himself. He sounded like a cheerleader for that happening, not a host looking to get factual information.
They should call the show, The Useful Idiot Hour. It was downright amazing to watch, not that I ever will again. Two minutes is all I could stand. The TV would be a smoldering hunk if I watched any longer. My Remington would need a good cleaning after I picked up the the remains of the TV. This did prove one thing, Rush was right and I don't doubt him.
Used to pick him up out of AFRS Heidelberg, 1143 on your dial.
First hour only, and I think it was in real time, coming on in the early evening.
Oh, BTW, what kind of Collins receiver?
LOL.....the look on that cat’s face is priceless. :)

It was a rack mount...maybe a 51J3 or 4...Do not remember.
Your page says North Coast, how lovely. The sammich in your office pic makes me hungry. :)
Do you ever call in to his show? I don’t know how he can keep from talking about the forged BC. That will be something to hear about when this administration is gone.

Rush spends half his show talking about himself these days.
That’s where I started listening to Rush back in 1988. He taught me a lot back then.
I used to record Rush daily. It took three recorders (one for each hour) plus regular tape players, timers, and regular maintenance (new tapes, timer settings, backup batteries, etc.) I still only achieved about a 70 percent successful recording rate for any number of reasons.
I now spend the 35 bucks a year to get the podcasts. I have a 100% success rate, and it winds up costing even less than before. And....there are no advertisments. Besides, Rush gets the money, not GE and other foreign tape makers. The only thing I miss is no music.
That 140 number is interesting, as I have not seen a list of supposed advertisers either. Just a couple of big names, that have been losing money left a right since they pulled their ads.
Limbaugh explained before that the number of local ads might be large but he has no way of knowing.
Total local and national advertisers is around 18,000, even if the 140 were correct, it’s a statistical blip.
