El Rushbo re-ups for his radio show, scores 9-figure signing bonus

2008-07-02

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.

#5 The ONLY reason there's so much money involved is that the audience is HUGE and made up of people who EARN and SPEND money. Oh, and also, Rush is very talented and speaks the truth. That don't hurt eiher...

#4 Procopious2k, Ah, but you forget tht the Kos Kiddies do not believe in personal or corporate ownership of anything. They believe the government should own you, everything you own, and everything else on and off the whole frickin' planet - their government, of course, not the government of the people, for the people, and by the people. Their government is for them, of them, and by them and them alone and the rest of us can rot while toiling for their purposes and nothing more.

#2 The Left is the politics of the Anti-Tenth Commandment*.

I said they were motivated by greed, bigotry and hate.

Hey Kos Kiddie, it was the 'liberal' judges who wrote and voted for Kelo. Take that which you did not earn for others profit. It is your politics that talks about income redistribution based upon the failed European concept of equal outcome rather than the American concept of equal opportunity.
