Does anyone still listen to Rush Limbaugh ??
I mean, are there any "dittoheads" left? Hasn't he been totaly discredited? Or are they OK with him sitting in his glass house throwing stones at everyone else? Do they really think he is funny? Or sad? Does anyone know what his ratings are? I would have thought that he would be finished with his legal problems, the drugs, his divorce, etc...?

1. I still listen to Rush

I find his ability to speak clearly and be true to the facts to be very impressive.

:::joke mode off::

Now seriously though I laugh every morning for about 10 minutes to his pathetic inability to even lie before switching over to Air America.

I listen to Hannity's show at night sometimes and I gotta say he's even worse. I think he's the worst personally when it comes to spin and twisting the facts.

This one guy at the old folk's home, but that's because the tuner button is gone on his radio.

4. Does anyone still "listen to Hitler"? 60 years after his death, they do
Many no doubt, also listen to Rush who has mainstream Nazi-style demonization techniques.

So the answer is yes, Hitler and Rush will ALWAYS have followers.

5. I listen on my way to work
but it's only about a 5 minute trip...

Yesterday, some woman asked him about his wanting to lock up and throw away the key for drug users but what about his own drug use....

he cut her off and pretty much claimed her as a loyal listener now cuz she had tuned in three times.

PUTZ!

6. #1 Talk Radio Program in US
Regardless of what anyone here thinks of the man. He does one thing very well. Getting lots of people to listen to him on the radio. Which means lots of people listen to his sponsors ads, and buy his sponsors products.

8. That's hard to believe, ain't it?
100% anti-Kerry? 100% Pro-Bush? Any humor in between??

9. I have been listening to El Drugbo off and on for 10 years....

His peak was came at the Monica affair and things have been downhill since. Yes, those who live in glass houses shouldn't be throwing stones (oxycontin, sanctity of three marriages). Lately he has become confused and incohesive like he is becoming unglued. But I would rather he remain at the top as he has a big red target painted on him, and what follows only gets worse (Weiner Savage, Boortz). After all he is the devil I/we know....

I hope Marta takes him to the cleaners, they have been married for ten years making the prenup worthless plus she knows the skeletons in his closet...

One final thought, I found out about DU when he read an article from here, so he can't be all bad..... :smoke:

7. I find it interesting that the wing nuts love it
that Cheney fired his Oxy addicted doctor and yet Fat Boy is still the Bush poster boy for attacking Kerry\Edwards. Oh the hypocrisy.
