    Rush Limbaugh signs a contract through 2008, for 250 MILLION DOLLARS. Rush will receive a 35 million dollar signing bonus as part of the deal.

    Rush's annual salary will be more than Brokaw, Jennings, Rather, and Barbara Walters- combined!

    Now, that entertainment!

    Thank God he's a such a great journalist. [​IMG] I hope he doesn't EVER b**** about the salaries of pro athletes, actors or musicians because he just eclipsed them all.

    He is not a journalist, he is an entertainer. That is the reason I get such a chuckle when people get worked up over his opinion.

    He is just an funny, intelligent, argumentative, and controversial man with an opinion. He is nothing more.

    BTW, I think I have heard him complain about sports salaries. I would love to hear him explain those quotes away.

    Rush Limbaugh, Barbara Walters, Jim Rome and Oprah Winfrey need to all hold hands and walk into a rotating helicopter blade together.

    I apologize. Dr. Laura should have never been left off that list. Come to think of it, I think there is now a waiting list for the list we are talking about!

    I still get a chuckle out of Letterman's interview of Rush in 94. Dave asks: "Do you ever wake up in the middle of the night and just think to yourself, `I am just full of hot gas`?"

    Sure we all have opinions.
    My opinion is he is a scary white conservative egotistical bigot that needs to get some excercise or else he will die from a heart attack with all those steak dinners he will be buying with that 250mil and that hes not very funny at all. Nothing more...

    Mr.Oily you're well-known, sir, for your lenient stance on crime. But suppose for a second that your house was ransacked by thugs, your family tied up in the basement with socks in their mouths, you try to open the door but there's too much blood on the knob

    Man, I just saw Rush on TV. He is blonde and must have lost 150 lbs. I barely recognized him.
