Rush Limpballs will be on NPR this afternoon
Edited on Thu Jan-25-07 09:15 AM by IDemo
On "All Things Considered", to discuss talk radio and political divisiveness.

Divisive? What? Noooo,,,,

Whose idea was this?

3. I heard an excerpt of Jeff Christie on a radio show about the history of radio.
The historian said that Jeff Christie is actually Rush Limbaugh. Is that true?

6. That is the stage name he used in Pittsburgh
Rush claims that they wouldn't let him use his real name so they gave him a list to choose from and as long as there was no one matching it in the Pittsburgh phone book he could use it. That is his story anyway.

There is much that is not known about what Rush did or didn't do in Pittsburgh in those years LOOK---> ;-)

5.  People like Rush need to be given a
little exposure.

Thank God for NPR, since without it voices like those of Rush would not be heard.

This really makes me want give them a big, fat contribution.

9. Simple cause and effect
Junior loads up the Corporation for Public Broadcasting board with right wing idealogues and a once respectable station is assimilated by Herr Karl's propaganda ministry. What's the point of buying up all the rest of the US news media if you're just going to let public broadcasting ruin everything with pesky truths?

Where once I have considered the learned wisdom of scholars, there is now the mindless farting of a comic book mentality.

13. i don't suppose it's occured to anybody
that the interviewer might just do a good job and let rush look like the ass that he is?

i guess it's easier to complain about the appearance before it even happens.:eyes:

15. Will this be a *comedy* show?


It will be if comedian Rush Limbore is present.

Just by being there OxyRush will bring down the dignity of the event by several steps.

Who will be the moderator? Dennis Miller?
