An upcoming edition of the New York Times Magazine this weekend will announce that syndicated radio host, Rush Limbaugh has just resigned his contract with "Clear Channel" and "Premiere Radio through 2016. Limbaugh's show has been described as "the most lucrative hours since radio's inception."

According to some radio insiders, this new package is valued at over $400 million, while NY Times Magazine is reportedly going to reveal that Limbaugh is making an estimated $38 million a year.

His earnings now pace him ahead of the annual salaries for network news anchors Katie Couric, Brian Williams, Charlie Gibson and Diane Sawyer — combined!

. o O (I'll bet THIS will get the left-wingers foaming at the mouth)

So? Terry Fator just signed a $100 million dollar contract with the Mirage in Vegas. The just tells me a most American's would rather listen to a guy with puppets!

Of COURSE that's what it means. Silly me. Everyone knows 100 is more than 400.

. o O (Liberals, once you get past the urge to take them seriously, can be hilarious)

100 - 38 = 62 the last I heard.... Anyway, regardless Americans love "puppets"!

Ahhh! I see your meaning. Never mind. Have a nice day.

I guess I could draw a connection between the high popularity of Limbaughs show and the phrase "There's a sucker born every minute". It would be ok if people just looked at his garbage as pure entertainment, but unfortunately a lot of suckers actually believe what he says.

Tee hee hee! Sometimes it's just TOO easy.

Im not foaming. I am not surprised by his popularity. I am no longer surprised by what people believe to be true. Limbaugh supplies some people with an essential part of their daily fantasy, and I am sure reality would start to leak into their cranial cavity if it were not for his guiding hand.

Hate speech...sells !!!...and apparently also pays well.
I am fairly sure that whoever is footing the bill to pay this bloviator, has long figured out that the next 8 years of democrat dominance in government, that Rush will have much to bitch about and garner the audience of dejected neocons to support his constant bitching.

I am not sure that they will be dominant, or at least that they will be dominant enough to undo the damage done under Bush. I wish them luck.
