Limbaugh signs through 2016.. $400 M deal.....   
   
Source: Drudge

In what is being described as an unprecedented radio contract, Limbaugh will keep his syndicated show on-the-air and e-v-e-r-y-w-h-e-r-e through 2016 with CLEAR CHANNEL and PREMIERE RADIO.

Already host of the most lucrative hours since radio's inception, Limbaugh's total package is valued north of $400 million, according to media insiders.

The NEW YORK TIMES will claim this weekend that Limbaugh, marking 20 years this summer as a national host, has secured a 9-figure signing bonus for the new deal, newsroom sources tell DRUDGE.

Nothing to say.... nothing at all.

1. What a waste of money..............

Rush won't burn it.  He will invest it.  It isn't wasted at all.  Money is not zero sum

5. Oh, it's not a waste of money - Limbaugh brings HUGE
   revenues. That is why they are paying him the big bucks.

Lucidity?

2. (puking) it's almost as big as ExxonMOBil's CEO retirement plan...
   wish they'll all go bankrupt

Why yes it is!  But this isn't retirement.  It's another seven year contract.  It is payment for productivity.

   Edited on Wed Jul-02-08 09:56 AM by SpiralHawk
Ptooey...

Limbaugh's experience is a beacon to young republicon chickenhawks everywhere -- proving to them that if you use an Ass Pimple to dodge the draft, as Limbaugh did, talk loudly, and hold your hand out, republicon fat cats will drop Mega CashMoneyBucks into your paw to get you to spout messages of hate and division in support of phony, so-called 'conservative' ideas that are essentially radical and opposed to everything good, noble, and American.

Ptoooey.

Jealousy is an ugly thing.  So are DUmmies.

4. How appropriate for a drug addict to be named Rush. n/t

His name should be Bucks.  Bucks Limbaugh.  Now THAT would be appropriate.

6. What a wonderful thought!
   Limbaugh signs. All he does is sit behind the microphone, doing his show in American Sign Language!

That would be a wonderful silence. And since I don't understand ASL, even with my eyes open, his show would become tolerable.


Unlucidity?

8. What's the median age of his listeners?
   Are they all ancient, like O'Reilly's viewers. If so, he's likely to lose a lot of them through, ahem, natural wasteage by 2016, and I don't see the Obama generation lining up to replace them. I think whoever offered Limpballs that contract is going to have buyer's remorse by the end of it.

I believe I read this the last time Limbaugh renewed his contracts.  I'll most likely hear it again in 2015.

Ditto.

I've never heard Rush Limbaugh, for obvious reasons.

But I've read his books.

Rush rocks.

How is that AAR thingy doing DUchebags?

Just like they don't know anyone that listens to Rush, when snObama loses the DUmbasses will claim stolen election because nobody they know voted for McCain.

I've heard many times that Rush can be a pompous ass.  I am a 20 year Rush listener and I do not understand it.  I'd like to know how and when Rush Limbaugh is a pompous ass.  I would like an example which does not include his wicked sense of humor.

That's what many people, and some listeners do not understand. He does a lot of that on purpose and it's meant to be dark humor. Like when he chastises Snerdley. It's all a joke. Liberals have essentially painted him as a pompous ass because, well, no other reason than he's a conservative, and he plays off of it.

It's a Rush thing, some of you wouldn't understand.  :tongue:

Once the "Obama generation" starts thinking for themselves, you damn well better bet that Rush's listening audience will increase.

My guess is that if you're under thirty (as I am), you probably qualify under this DUmmie's definition.  I might add that the "Obama generation" really includes anyone of any age that likes when politicians blow smoke up their rears.

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

Don't misunderstand me...I like Rush....I guess sometimes [I think] his methods leave something to be desired. YMMV.  just a perception thing :-)

Same here, although I think I started listening in 1990.

As I've "confessed" before, I voted for Dukakis in '88 (being young and stupid).  :thatsright:  Listening to Rush, among other things helped convert me to the correct way of thinking.
