Rush Limbaugh, the most listened-to voice on the radio dial bar none, has signed a $400 million deal that keeps him on the air through 2016, as Drudge breathlessly reports. This deal "SHATTERS BROADCAST RECORDS." Which is technically true: Howard Stern's 5-year $500 million contract with Sirius shattered, uh, "satellite" records. Of which there weren't any to begin with.
The conservative talker, who will be on this week's NYT Magazine, in 2001 signed a $285 million, eight-year deal, which kept him on the air through 2009. This makes his new deal worth $57.14 million a year, which is actually just more than half the $100 million/year Stern's contract works out to. Nevermind that, though: Limbaugh will also get a nine-figure bonus, which he'll use toward the new G550 jet he's buying.

Wow, hate speech rewarded by a 400 million deal. America really is the greatest country in the world for assholes.
Buying a jet and earning $400 Mil just like the common, everyday guy here in America - he really does relate to the average guy!
crack definitely is whack then.
Limbaugh needs no defending, but you meatheads need to understand basic economic principles. He gets the cash because he draws the listeners and the listeners draw the advertisers. The advertisers pay for commercials and that's how the station prospers & stays in business. This is unlike the liberal progressive radio that relies solely upon private donations or government handouts to stay afloat. Therefore, Limbaugh is worth whatevert he gets paid because he brings in the cash to the business. Pretty simple to grasp, even for a liberal.
Just to fill all of my millions of new readers in on some past history. Howard Stern and I go way back. In fact, the first time I was on the show was in February of 1995. At the time of my first appearance I was running for president of The United States of America. My platform was based on The Comprehensive Anticipatory Design Science Revolution and based upon doing it by the book, Critical Path in which the Highest Priority for the world is to link the world's electrical transmission systems together into one grid. The resultant benefit of that would be to reduce population growth, improve world wide cooperation and trade, level out the playing field as every country has a unique and powerful source of energy supply, to be found either in the wind, the waves, the water both above ground, underground, in the ocean or the seas, in its crops, and in its shit. The lowest common denominator being that we all shit. By harnessing those powers we can instantly create a world wherein every person on earth lives a better life than any king or queen of the 19th century. Buckminster Fuller, creator of the Geodesic Dome which stands as the symbol of Walt Disney World, which by the way if you did not already know was designed to be the base of operations and physical home to all the people on earth, said: "Good Hardware is one of the few irrefutable proofs of clear thinking. In order to assure that the world be saved, I, Gregory GOrDon, studied appropriately with the intent of becoming America's first black president, Today, I must conceed the race to my opponent, Barack Obama, who came out of nowhere, and trounced me, totally. Although I was brought up as a house nigger in East (cupcake) Brunswick, New Jersey, as one of the only two black people in the entire school system, (the other was my brother, Wayne) with all that entails, the best education in the entire nation, (our High School has never been ranked outside of the top ten High Schools in all of America) and in the 1970's it was the 185 wealthiest town in all of The United States, I chose the road of a warrior rather than a statesman. Not to say that I was a piss poor statesman having won the Institute for politcal and legal education's model congress chairmanship competion one year thus being elected Speaker of the House over participants from 25 other schools in New Jersey one year and having been voted as the Best Reprentative in another, but never-the-less after attending Livingston College for political science transferring to Cook College, becoming an Undergraduate Fellow of the Eagleton Intstitute for politics at Rutgers, University and then going on to The University of California, Berkeley's Boalt Hall school of law I decided to leave "the church" and become a Warrior. When I first heard that Ronald Reagan was the Anti-Christ on the evening of 1980 election I thaught for sure that my roommate who was in my opinion a Bible Freak, by the way his name, and I believe that I am releasing this for the first time publicly was, Rick Del Piano. And believe it or not he has or at least had bright red hair that went down to the middle of his back. (Sound familiar to any of my Muslim brothers, A salaam alaakam). Peace be wtth you. I freaked and one night when he went out I hid his Bible. I forced a fight. He was pissed off. I used his anger as an excuse to ask him to leave. I guess he showed me. About six months later everthing he had said came true. Reagan was shot and wounded by John Hinkley. I knew the story of the anti-Christ for having listened to Rick. Rick Del Piano, can you ever forgive me, I treated you like street scum simply because when I'd met you, you'd been on the street and I threw you back, even though you were right. I only hope that I fought the good fight for you, because as far as the Koran is concerned you, not I most fit Mohammed's description of the person he saw in heaven. Rick, you are the only one on earth that I'd surrender the title of Christ to. it's yours when and if you want it. I'll go by whatever title you choose to give me. Let me know, if you want the title it's yours just claim it. If not I'll accept the honor on your behalf, always knowing that a disciple is NEVER above his master and when it comes to whether or not Reagan was the anti-Christ, you called it. And you called it well before anyone else on Earth.
Fast forward, as a result of his having been wounded Reagan became in my eyes the anti-Christ. I spent the next ten years proving it to my satisfaction. On July Fourth, Independence Day of 1990, I, Gregory, broke into Reagan's Belair, California retirement home in order to get publicity for my cause. For that I spent three years in prison and upon coming out I met Howard Sten. I met him as the result of a press release that I sent to Gary Del 'Abate who was not a part of the show at the time but rather functioned as does any other behind the scenes producer, And by the way Gary, what's with the turncoat moves, saying that I should live in Newark and questioning why you should subsidize my apartment. I ain't mad at you. I just wish that you'd publicly mention the timing of my request that Reagan die. I am willing to bet that I won the death pool as although I was in prison on the day he died, I'd sent a letter on the Wednesday before he died, stating that I wouldn't mind if he died on the sixth of June, 2004 which technically he did. Although it was only one O'clock in the afternoon in Los Angeles on the fifth of July, part of the earth was already well into the sixth of June in the only year to add up to six in all of recorded time. On my first show, a tape of which I have never seen, I read a speech and demonstrated the Dynamic Light Reflectors to everyone and in the end had a debate in a phone booth where I argued with some guy who wanted to kill me.
At any rate that is just a bit of history, the point being that Howard and I go way back, and my listening to him actually caused me to serve a eight months of a year sentence in Los Angeles county jail, I got out the day after Ojay Simpson did after being aquitted of Murdering anyone. And Howard although I think you are pretty cool even if you are a pussy, you are what you eat, Ojay is not guilty and he should sue you for millions of dollars for slandering his name. He was aquitted. End of story and he can not be tried twice for the same crime. Thanks in large part to you and your house negress Robin Quivers the man had to suffer a living hell. Even if he did in fact kill his wife, which fact no one can prove legally he won the only court case that matters and to be tried in your monkey ass court of tickle chairs, ass farters, and other equally moronic shit weighing contests to which every punk ass New York City cop listens was a disgrace to the American system of justice moreso even than if we never get to put George W. Bitch to death because of his self confessed treason. {And before all you self-righteous pigs start to get your pants in a bunch, fuck off, I'll have every one of you put in prison if you fuck with me. And let me tell you how and why right now. This weekend I went to two different police stations to report a murder, tell me there is no right wing conspiracy. I went to the precinct on 52nd street between 8th and 9th Avenue. I told the seven cops that I counted in the entry room that I did not trust them and would like to report a murder but would do so only if they filmed it. At that point some punk ass spic and I use the term only because you puerto ricans feel so comfortable calling people niggers that I throw some of the poisonous language back at you and see how you like it, any way the spic, the dago, the chink, the kike, and all the woodpeckers in the room all started sweating because as they all listen to you Howard in order to get their daily dose of soft porn because they are all pussy whipped blow hards, they had previously heard of the murder to which I first confessed on your show. Instead of taking the report as they were supposed to by law, ethics and even police rules, instead of taking the report they insisted that I leave. It was at that point that I threatened to kill George W. Bitch for a second time. To which they also did not respond. I guess that one is now free to threaten to kill Bush at will. The punk mother fucker refused to respond to my challenge for a fair fight under whatever states dueling laws as he chose, so for that and for many other reasons I now declare it open season on George W. Bitch.
Which brings me finally to the point of this post. Rush Limbaught not Howard Stern is the king of comedy. I did not figure it out until he had fooled me too. I thought that he sincerely believed the things he said. He does not, he can not and he has admtted so watch this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2EU8nDD9vF8 Rush had us all fooled and he is laughing at all of us even as we pull our hairs out wondering what to do with him. Lest one think that i am being sarcastic let me state that I am not. Rush Limpballs, Drug Rush as I affectionately call him, is so good at his act he makes Mick Jagger look like a pussy. Imagine the heights to which he has climbed all the while laughing at all of us. if I did not hate his politics so much I'd even find it funny. This is beyond funny, its ludicrous. Rush Limbaugh is the white Biggy Smalls. Fat and bold and at the top of his game. He played us all. And worse yet, as we steamed in our shorts he was laughing all the way to the ratings bank. I know it sounds like I am simply trying to use reverse psychology on you and at first I was. But then I listened to one of his shows, he does his research meticulously and he knows his stuff I was even scared a couple of times with the logic of some of his ideas, one of them, his stated true feelings on the nature of patriotism, that it shouldn't be blind, America love it or leave it but based upon acurate accessment of each situation was actually the same as my belief, Then I watched http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2EU8nDD9vF8 for a second time. This time I stepped outside of myself released my typical ultra left wing super serious what if the seas rise six inches mind frame and actually listened to what he said. he said he is an entertainer. He's said it thousands of times, it was I that took him seriously all the while he was just tryingh to make me mad. And the more he tried the madder I got. It got to the point that I actually took over the forum for the video; Michael Steele surrenders his manhood to Rush Limbaugh by the young turks at YouTube. In violation of every rule of Internet ethics I posted after myself, answered myself. cursed, challenged Rush to debate, debated a stand-in, slandered Jesus - again I ask for forgiveness, and generally made an arse of myself because I took the issues seriously, way too seriously, So what every bank in the world goes bankrupt. When it happens as it must someday nothing will change. A few very wealthy individuals will be significantly poorer, and some moderately wealthy people may end up on unemployment or even welfare with their egos hurt, eating like the rest of us and possibly accepting foodstamps but Franklin Roosevelt America's hands down best president of all time took care of that. Even if every stock fell in value to one penny which may happen out of some peoples spite not a single person I know would lose a penny. Sure the petty ass people who were significantly poorer would strive at every moment to punish us all because they did not bother to attend the stock holders meetings and vote their interests because they are basically money grubbing pieces of shit. The Capitalist system, and correct me if I am wrong, put plus marks where I am right and take the time to register and vote as to how you think I am doing by giving me a five star rating was meant to be an active system where the stockholders buy votes in their respective companies yet I bet not a single person on earth who holds more than ten stocks can name both the chairman of the board and the president of all ten companies which his stocks represent. We have all forgetten where we came from, why we are here and no one except me knows what to do. Well, now hear this, we need not spend another dime bailing out a single company on earth. if you are a stock holder in any company public company and are not invited by said company to attend the stockholder's meeting they have broken the law and if you were invited and did not attend you have violated a sacred trust. A trust in the American way, good olde capitalism where if I have 1,000 dollars and can buy a single share of Microsoft I am entitled to present my opiinions at the stockholders meeting and they have no right by law to deny me my say. We have gone soft moreover the spoiled children who inherited trust funds and actually do own stocks, many many stocks, are totally uneducated and were not worried about anything except there petty sexual appetites until the shit hit the fan and the Dow fell under 10,000 which if I recall was not so long ago. (pardon me if I stand on this soapbox for a moment longer) I personally am ashamed of myself for not remembering that a share entitles you to vote until after I had already trashed Howard hear in this very post. But I am glad I remembered and it shall be my new rallying cry).
Now comes the vision climax, and it feels very good, as soon as we start voting our consciences within the ecomomy all will be well again, instantly. The collective concensus is usually correct, witness the ask the audience lifeline in Who wants to be a millionaire. We are already a world of Billionaires. Each and every one of us. I took a miracle like Rush Limbaugh to make me mad enough to figure it out. And for that, all bullshit aside, I thank you Rush Limbaugh.
