| Obama, you magnificent bastard! From TFA: One side effect of the Democratic campaign against Rush Limbaugh has been to increase -- dramatically increase -- the talk show host's ratings. This morning I asked Rush if he had any numbers he could share on just what effect the increased visibility has had on his business. This is his response: The latest numbers I have are for January, well before this kerfuffle began, and they are through the roof -- six shares in NY, for example. There are daily ratings taken now in about the top 15 markets but I have not seen them yet. All I can tell you is that as of January, we booked 80 percent of all our 2008 revenue and we'll be over 2008 by the end of this month. |

| #7 Well, B, There's no refund for selling your soul. I think the 30 day 'cooling off period' has passed.* *All sales are final in Massachusetts, New York, Illinois, California and except where prohibited by law. |

| #5 We will need a fairness doctrine if Rush's share continues to grow. |

| #4 The handling of this whole kerfuffle by Team 0 has been pretty bush (league). They've managed to promote Rush into command of the GOP while demoting The Messiah to being his peer. All the while giving el-Rushbo a ratings boost. I don't see how this goes up hill for them over the next three years even if Rush is caught with a dead girl or a live boy in his bed. |
