Limbaugh Steals Spotlight From Andrew Breitbart

Limbaugh could not stand the fact Breitbart got more media attention than him , so to squash the story
he doubles down on a "Slut" story for media to listen to him, and it worked.
This little jealous insecure pill popper could not give Breitbart his day in death.
Trust me, i'm no fan of AB as god or who ever sought fit to his demise, But that story died because of Limbaugh's fear
of losing the spotlight. He managed to make sure nobody on the right wing blog-o-sphere, and most importantly
FOX News bury this to draw attention to himself. His Ego took over a death , Only to double and triple down on a
phony headline for pure adolescent attention, The phony bomb scare was to keep him ahead of the Breitbart story,
and low and behold he continues to be in the news with a disturbing NON apology to calling a woman a slut.
If anybody is a slut, Rush wants everybody to know that he is the highest paid hooker on the planet, second to none.

Our side couldn't post enough about how awful the guy was, the other side was ready to canonize him....now? He's almost completely forgotten. This will probably be how Rush ends up as well. Lots of short term notoriety...then nothing.

Sandra Fluke. He'd have paid both people who know/knew her and strangers to go on record about her sexual history.
