How will you celebrate when Rush Limbaugh is booted off the air?
Maybe we could topple a statue of Limbo in a public square: 10 years of pent up frustration unleashed.

15. Count Me In

Make it a nice big Avo Robusto and a decent-sized shot of Glenfiddich.

I've been listening to Limbaugh this week just to see what he sounds like---anybody else agree with me that he sounds fried? I mean, he doesn't seem to be able to keep his voice from getting into shreakingly high pitches, he's using bizarre new terms ("Yip yip yip yip yahoo"); he sounds like he's bathed in flop sweat, non-stop. I think the guy is history......

4. It would be nice if that happened
but I don't think it will. He has been paid to much money to boot him off.

6. I'm going to buy a HOKA turkey!
Expensive, but worth it to celebrate the fall of the fool.

7. Eh - I don't think Rush is going anywhere soon........
I actually listen to his show for several reasons:

1) When I get to my office in the morning, I turn my radio on to the local news station. He comes on at 11:00, and frankly, I'm too lazy to get up and switch the stations. Mostly he's just background nattering noise, though sometimes, I actually listen.

2) I feel like it helps keep me intellectually honest to hear "the other side."

3) I'm a masochist.

I think the only reason he'll be booted off the air is if he has to do jail time, and I wouldn't bet money on that possibility at this point.

Ah, but would Bill Bennett? :P

Sorry -- couldn't resist killing two self-righteous, hypocritical blowhards with one stone.....

8. I'll believe it when I see it.
It took DubyaDubyaTwo and the full force of the American, British, and Soviet Armies to throw Pigboy's analog, Julius Streicher off the air.

http://www.us-israel.org/jsource/biography/Streicher.html

(and that was when America fought on the side of right, for the common people, against Tyranny and for Liberty...that country is NO MOR, though it may still return...Bushevik Occupied Imperial Amerika fights onthe side of wrong, steps on the face of common people everywhere, are Lying Tyrants themselves and despise Liberty, though their lies are as mendacious as Hitler or Stalin or Ferdinand Marcos or the Kuwaiti Royal Family)

10. I'd love to see the pigboy land in jail,
but they'd probably just let him broadcast from his cell.

I started a part-time job a couple of months ago and the idiot in the cubicle behind mine listens to the moron every day.
I got a walkman and a set of earphones and listen to an oldies station which is all I can pick up clearly. Anything to not to have to listen to that crap. No wonder the reich-wingers are so braindead.

12. Start listening to radio again.
I worked in radio for some years (still do) and got so sick him and his name I have not tuned in for my own pleasure in a long long time. The Rush free airwaves would be a wonderful enticement to come back to a medium that, at heart, I love.

he will lose if he doesn't meet up to the good citizen clause in the contract? Assuming there is one?

17. Whiskey, steak, and all my friends from Faire
That is all I need to say. Sitting around a bonfire eating gaelic steaks and chugging whiskey in a kilt with all my friends from Faire in full garb celebrating his demise just appeals to me enormously.

19. Ill dig up my little red AM transistor radio I used to listen to at night
and get a bottle of vino and listen to the liberal talk show that replaces the big dumb poop stain otherwise known as Limbaugh.

Same time slot, same bs, different voice.

23. They're cockroaches.
You squish one, and another scurries out of the dank shadows to take its place.
