Apropos of nothing, is Rush Limbaugh the Teflon Douchebag?

[Bossy Monkey]

Even his worshipers have to know about the Oxycontin adventure, the Haiti trip, etc. etc. etc., but he keeps rolling on. Whaddayathink?

1. Putting my political disagreement with him aside. He is very simply a great broadcaster.

And given the hearing loss he has overcome, he may very well be the greatest broadcaster of all time.

2. Are you sure you're at the right place?

The only reason he is where he is is because he spouts the shit the owners of the airways he's on wants spouted.

5. Gotta give credit

where credit is due.

The ONLY reason he is where he is, is because people agree with him, listen to him and support his advertisers.

3. Well when you unfairly dominate in 97 percent of the radio market

listening area, it is unlikely that the Haiti trip, Oxycontin, the cape Geraurdo allegations are openly shared with that listening audience. Sort of like when NBC dominated television originally or when AT&T (the Bells) controlled telecommunications or IBM dominated the computer industry. If you can kill the competition you control the message and you own the audience. Because who else are they going to listen to in Council Bluffs or Union Junction? His handlers own the audience and they carefully control what information is presented. Therefore, the Haiti sex encampment becomes an "annual excursion" with a group of chums and so on and so on.

4. He could rape a nursey school and blow up a nursing home

and they'd blame it on the liberalmediapress.
Nothing gets thru to his "followers".
