Wonder if this is related to Andrew Breitbart's sudden death?

After what he said on the radio today, he's surprised people are angry?

TODAY WAS THE DAY The Rush Limbaugh Show became a liability to its affiliates.

Many people LOVE a cliffhanger.

I am not one of them.

WHAT did he say?

I quit listening to Rash about ten years ago. When I read what he said today, I hope he gets sued for libel/slander, and CheapChannel or whoever pays this drooling idiot shoves his big golden microphone up his sphincter before they physically toss him out the door. They won't, naturally, but that's what needs to happen. His show is turning into what amounts to a fat, angry kid in an internet chat room.

If he was on a station I owned, today would have been the day his show got the axe, contract or not. He's evidently has no common sense at all anymore.

I followed the link to a massive Limbaugh transcript. UGH.

I started reading...and came to the conclusion that it's even more difficult to trudge through a transcript of his show than to just listen to it. I got through most of it and still don't know what the big deal is---I mean, what did he say that is any more offensive than anything he's said before?

Can someone please give the gist of what he said that is so extraordinary by Limbaugh standards?

Rush nis playing the left and mainstream media like a violin. He says what he says; he's mentioned on every MSNBC show, the left feigns outrage, and it's a win. Nothing new here.

[TANKSBACK]

I assumed the "suspicious package" was an actual bomb.....like an aircheck from some former Air America host looking for a producer's gig.  And as usual, when Rush speaks the truth, liberals s#!t themselves.  Go El Rusbo!

Regardless of what's exchanged in our recreational discussion here/now, The Rush Limbaugh Show will never fully-recover from the wound self-inflicted March 1, 2012.

Short-term, he's complicating life at affiliates, which, unlike him are licensees where PO'd listeners/groups can waltz-in and demand to read The Public File (which, as you've read in trades recently, stations get-fined for not-adequately-maintaining).  So thanks for THAT heightened scrutiny, Rush.   His "Imus moment."

Longer-term and WAY-outside-our-box, Limbaugh just used the power of radio (what Sales calls "reach and frequency") to throw-gas-on-the-flames-of a Gender Gap which 10 days of Republican-candidates-off-message-talking-about-Reproductive Rights might have already ensured the president's re-election. 

But that's what Rush wanted.  "Four...more...years" will be a lot better for Limbaugh's business than having-had-to-apologize-for the last 3 years of McCain/Palin bloopers...unless Rush loses his job now.

This is not at all an "Imus Moment."  Don Imus used a racial slur against a group of girls and it was unprovoked - they had not done anything but win games.

This woman did exactly what Rush said - she went before congress and said that birth control is costing her too much and we need to provide it for her.

She is the ho.

We are the pimps.

He is exactly right.
