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—that’s host. Get ready to what you were born to do—that’s listen (and post your comments on the Rush Limbaugh LIVE Radio Thread).
If I were Rush I’d run those “obscene profit time-outs” in total silence today. Then in the last 5 seconds, a simple announcement that “your message could have been heard in this spot by xx millions of listeners, if you have the guts to tell it the way it is”.
Then jack up his ad rates by 15% and let the obscene profits flow.
Newt’s superpak should buy up all the ad time and ruin anti-Obama screeds ;-)
Don’t the lefties realize (paraphrasing from Star Wars) that if they strike Rush down now, he’ll return more powerful than they can ever imagine?
If they succeed in getting more sponsors to withdraw, and putting his radio show in jeopardy, all that will do is push Rush (finally) into satellite radio. He has always said, when asked why he isn’t on satellite radio, that terrestrial radio stations and their sponsors made him into the media star he is today, and he has stated his loyalty to them in return. Well, if radio stations begin dropping his show, because of lost ad revenue, it will be to their loss, not his.
Off to renew my lapsed Rush 24-7 subscription, order some two-if-by-tea, and email some more squisy sponsors (letting them know of my ex-customer status).
Be Breitbart, Baby!
RUSH to conservatism’s defense!
Prayers for those affected by recent storms second it.
Saw on FB KY head basketball men’s coach John Colapari telling FB members to text in for American Red Cross last night to donate.
Also congrats on KY Wildcats men for winning SEC title.
‘Stand with Rush.’
I do
1 + 1 = 2; States ; 1 + 1 = 2
1. Rush will continue apologizing then move on.
2. Rush won't even mention the apology and move on.
Heck Ya!!!
Doubt it. The waiting list of national advertisers for his show is prolly "Take a number" long. The local advertisers on the other hand, the bread and butter of the local stations that carry his show, could be a problem if a concerted effort is launched against them. IIRC, Media Matters or some such organization was calling for just this a few years ago. I Posted about it at the time on the Rush Live threads. Not sure if the effort failed or was shelved.
Wall to wall Sunday talkshow contraception for the first hour.
I think I might become a member of Rush 24/7 as a show of support. I have kicked around joining for awhile, and I think now may be the time. Anybody else?
What an excellent point.
Hang in there, Rush!

I’m ashamed to say that I was a ProFlowers customer
I became a ProFlowers customer when I first heard your ads on Rush Limbaugh’s show a few years ago. Like the other 25+ million weekly listeners to his show, I value what he says, and what he recommends.
I don’t know how much business Rush has brought your company, but I’ll guess it’s substantial. This being the case, I was beyond disappointed that ProFlowers decided to be politically correct and drop their sponsorship to Rush’s show simply because Rush expressed a valid opinion about this fraud…Ms. Fluke.
Just as you have made a decision that will affect Mr. Limbaugh, many more of us are also making a decision that will indeed affect you. I have made my LAST purchase from ProFlowers. Please remove my name from your database and stop the solicitation emails.
I’m certainly not alone in my feelings for the politically motivated decision you have made to drop sponsorship of Rush’s show over this phony outrage by people who are neither listeners to his show or your likely customers, past or future.
You might want to take a look around the blogosphere this day; outrage at your decision will have the opposite effect you had intended. Do you really think that dropping sponsorship to Rush’s show in such a politically motivated way will not have financial consequences for your business?
Perhaps you believe that the Occupy Wall Street and MoveOn.org crowd who have astro-turfed this phony outrage are a better demographic for your product.
I believe that you are mistaken

Hi all! I vote tomorrow! I am severely torn. As stated in previous Rush threads, I am ABR first and then ABO. In saying that, Santorum is still holding on to a bit of a lead here in Ohio, but Romney is gaining. I also see Gingrich up in a few states. Does it help or hurt Romney by Santorum winning some and Gingrich winning others or would it be better for the non-Romney sector for a coalescence around either Santorum or Gingrich to win a large chunk of tomorrow?
Wait a minute....i could of sworn one of the first things she said in the video was that she was NOT speaking for herself.?
Pro Flowers sucks anyway. My mom got flowers and candy one time and the candy had BUGS in it!
DITTO THAT!
I want Noot to win them all...
I support Rush and would like to know the names of advertisers who are staying with him.
