Rush Limbaugh to get $38M a year for next 8 years

That could buy a lot of Oxycontin.

Ha, Ha! He certainly beats Katie Curic and he can speak a lot better than she can. More power to him if he can make that kind of cash. I would too if I could. The advertisers are the ones who pay the big bucks though on his show.

9-figure signing bonus? Is that a typo?

$100,000,000 in addition to his $38M salary?

Some interesting quotes from the junkie windbag:

"We're going to let you destroy your life. We're going to make it easy and then all of us who accept the responsibilities of life and don't destroy our lives on drugs, we'll pay for whatever messes you get into."
-- Rush Limbaugh show, Dec. 9, 1993

"I'm appalled at people who simply want to look at all this abhorrent behavior and say people are going to do drugs anyway let's legalize it. It's a dumb idea. It's a rotten idea and those who are for it are purely 100 percent selfish."
-- Rush Limbaugh show, Dec 9, 1993

"If (Surgeon General Jocelyn Elders) wants to legalize drugs, send the people who want to do drugs to London and Zurich, and let's be rid of them.
-- Rush Limbaugh show, Dec 9, 1993

"There's nothing good about drug use. We know it. It destroys individuals. It destroys families. Drug use destroys societies. Drug use, some might say, is destroying this country. And we have laws against selling drugs, pushing drugs, using drugs, importing drugs. And the laws are good because we know what happens to people in societies and neighborhoods which become consumed by them. And so if people are violating the law by doing drugs, they ought to be accused and they ought to be convicted and they ought to be sent up.

"What this says to me is that too many whites are getting away with drug use. Too many whites are getting away with drug sales. Too many whites are getting away with trafficking in this stuff. The answer to this disparity is not to start letting people out of jail because we're not putting others in jail who are breaking the law. The answer is to go out and find the ones who are getting away with it, convict them and send them up the river, too."
-- Rush Limbaugh show, Oct. 5, 1995

You know...if we could figure out a way to harness his hot air, the energy crisis as we know it would be over.

Great!!! Now we can continue listening to see what the enemy is thinking.

$400 million deal, right below Sterns $500 million deal. It's nuts, I can't stand either one of them.

I agree and people do not understand they are just entertainers NOT politicians or news people!

Right wingers defend Limbaugh with almost the same zeal as rioting muslins angry over cartoons of Allah. That's because they are indoctrinated to his way of thinking, which fiscally
applies mostly to the very rich. Go figure.

He is an entertainer and sly hypocrite who regularly has criminals on his show, i.e. Cheney, Delay and other Republicans. If Clear Channel wants to pay him that amount of money that's between he and his employer.

I do think that the hate radio programming that has evolved from him will disappear once he is gone.

David, give us some examples of hate preached by Limbaugh. I rarely listen to him.

Hatemonger on drugs

I wish he would choke on his oxyicontin, big mouth baffoon. the Radio station has a screw loose to pay this moron so much, but oh well, morons listen to his garbage.

Actually, I think he represents the Republican party well, Arrogant, self centered and clueless!!!

Limbaugh is good at what he does, which is entertainment, though the truth is I only hear him when I am in an auto-parts store or at my elderly neighbor's home.
Like anything else on radio or TV, if you do not like it, turn it off.

In this era where all your tv's are going to be obsolete in a year, your analog cell phone is already useless, newspapers are dying out, and even FM radio is going "HD" it is nice to see somebody believes lowly AM radio has a future of at least 8 years by betting all that money on it.

Ironic,the liberal attempt to counter people like Limbaugh,"Air America",is in the dumps.Air America gets no listeners,or support.Al Franken eat your sick heart out! But they are in there, now trying to silence radio talk Shows who they do not agree with.Liberals in the Senate,are trying to suppress what they do not like to hear! So much for the first Amendment with these,liberals who cannot compete with with the likes of Hannity,O'Reilly,L imbaugh,and others...these programs are the leaders in the viewer rating wars. So what do liberal want to do? why silence them ,of course.Next is burn their books.So much for loony left wing nut liberals. The only one's listening to them is them selves.Just like they talk to themselves.Misery loves company,I suppose! I know ,it Tickles,and Tickles,and Burns,and Burns their butts,..But thats life!...I suggest they look for one!!

What goes around comes around. I don't wish anything so drastic as lynn, but you have to admit, he does nothing to try to bring the parties together, he thrives off of the fighting between democrats and republicans.

It is not his job, or for that matter anybody's job, to bring the parties together. Except now and then, the president; the current one cannot even get his own party to back any of his odder proposals.
As similar as they are, they are supposed to be at odds, get it?

You should not use the pejorative "right wingers."
The correct term for the devotees of the teachings of Rush Limbaugh is "wing nuts".

the way i see it 287 million americans don't listen to him every week ... way to go U S A some of us don't listen to druggies
