Answer 2

Rush Limbaugh is the typical republican windbag. Always look for the negative in things and always blames things on being liberal. Yet, all Limbaugh does is promote hate and take drugs and it's sad that anyone would want to sponsor him let alone have him around for another 9 years. More then likely though he'll die of a heart attack due to all those donuts and pain killers he has!

I'd rather listen to Howard Stern 24 hours a day then to hear a peep out of Rush Limbaugh. Always clearing his voice and making the most ridiculous comments. Limbaugh is a r****d and it takes an even more mentally handicapped person to actually believe anything he says.

Answer 3

He should have run for the Presidency this term.

Answer 4

Basic economics. People listen, and he invented a profit-sharing system with affiliates that have made both sides wealthy.

The man can fill airtime, no doubt about it.

Answer 5

Why do you care?

It's not your money and you obviously don't listen.

Butt out.

Answer 6

Because there are lots of people stupid enough to listen to that windbag, so advertisers pay to advertise on his show.

Its because of idiots like him and his idiot followers that we get idiots like Bush and Nixon in the whitehouse.

Answer 7

I hadn't heard about this, and I'm shocked.  All I can say is, I guess there really are a lot of right wing a**holes who think Rush is a smart guy with important things to say.

Geez, I almost retched when I typed that.

That money will buy a LOT of drugs.  What a world.

Answer 8

Because Rush Limbaugh is the voice for the silent majority in this country. His popularity should scare the living sh-- out of Obama as it is a signal as to the strength of liberal opposition from that silent majority. Rush "had" a drug problem. What can you say about yourself or do you just cast stones? How many of your liberal mentors had similar or worse problems? Like Kennedy for example, or Bill Clinton or all of the rest of your saints who history reads like a Steven King novel.

Answer 9

Probably for the same reason someone is willing to pay Howard Stern $500 million + bonuses for 5 years......because they can

Everyone knows that a more prefect and upstanding citizen can't be found than Howard Stern ...... he is the model of purity and chastity ( sarcasm of a cynic)

Answer 10

Talent on loan from God !!!

His problem was medical like former First Lady Betty Ford .

Answer 11
