El Rushbo re-ups for his radio show, scores 9-figure signing bonus
Right-wing talk radio host Rush Limbaugh is signing a contract with Clear Channel and Premiere Radio worth more than $400 million, the New York Times Magazine will report this Sunday. In addition to finagling a nine-figure signing bonus, Limbaugh has also taken to purchasing a new G550 jet and a pyramid of gilded skulls belonging to the financiers of Air America.
I think he's kidding about the pyramid. :-)
The Angry Left is, well, angry about this. (You expected anything else?) Kos Kiddies komment here, with their characteristic class and generosity of spirit:
I'm not interested in building a consensus with Limbaugh listeners. I agree anecdotal evidence of the charitability of some right-wingers is interesting, but it is not dispositive and hardly compelling, given the virulent material Limbaugh spews to his listeners and their seeming eagerness to lap it up, and given the observable behavior of right-wingers overall.
Nor did I refer to them as 'stupid' or 'evil.' I said they were motivated by greed, bigotry and hate.
