Rush Limbaugh salary was 33 million in 2007.

[dixiegrrrrl]

Shouldn't his salary be capped too?

( Wiki salary source )

[Fire_Medic_Dave]

1. I don't think he took a bailout.

Not sure how you would cap it.

[Motown_Johnny]

3. $1Million per IQ point, he would be capped at about 17

[Fire_Medic_Dave]

8. I don't think it's wise to underestimate him.

[tridim]

10. Last I heard Clear Channel wasn't doing too well.

Can they afford him? :evilgrin:

[Fire_Medic_Dave]

11. Who knows?

[aquart]

13. If he bankrupts them, I'll feel so bad.

So terribly terribly bad. Yes, indeedy.

[lostnfound]

2. That's about $2 per brainwashed citizen, isn't it? nt

[razors edge]

4. Or $3 million per

per working brain cell, audience included.

[wtmusic]

5. He earns every penny of it.

No one - no politician, sports figure, musician - mobilizes the GOP base like Rush.

Trying to reinstate the Fairness Doctrine against money like that is laughable.

[Kalyke]

26. The Fairness Doctrine wouldn't apply anyway.

RusHanniBoortSavage are all entertainers - not news content.

[lpbk2713]

6. And that figure doesn't include what he received from Big Oil ....

Big Pharma, the telcos, Big Tobacco, etc, etc.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

7. Oxycontin can be expensive

he needs that salary for 'his habit'

[corruptmewithpower]

9. He's on a lot of radio stations

But his influence must be overestimated. Look at the last election. Whoever contracted to pay him those millions must be crapping himself.

[mwooldri]

15. Yeah and that "someone" who paid him those millions fired 9% of their workforce...

... 1850 people now have no job.

Mr. Limbaugh says he's on the EIB network. A network of one broadcaster... him. He's syndicated by Premiere Radio Networks, a subsidiary of Clear Channel. Or in this case to those employees... Clear Off Channel.

Mark.

[corruptmewithpower]

16. Once again the workers get the shaft while the fat cats eat steak.

[DrCoots]

12. Ditto Heads

The Drug Addict and Womanizer and "Lord of the Flys", the much too over-rated Rush, claims to have 32 Million "Ditto Heads" followers! Well, that means NOTHING!!! A "Ditto Head" is a person who can NOT think or decide for themselves, they need direct guidance and direction and do NOT think for themselves at all! So, these 32(Right......)Million followers would be far better off in a total care facility or institution! SERIOUSLY!!! Rush has two major functioning body parts, his Mouith and his Asshole!

[Canuckistanian]

20. Womanizer? I don't think so.

Rush is a deeply, deeply closeted gay. His wives (who all left him and promptly clammed up)were there for appearances only.

[Old and In the Way]

14. No one gets paid $33MM/year to tell the truth.

If you can get a sizable block of voters to vote against their best interests...that's priceless. Some might say a good investment. Republicans couldn't have economically destroyed this country without El Gasbag leading the charge getting enough votes to put them back in power in 94.

[kentuck]

17. He worked so hard for his money.

he contributes so much to society. That is why he should not be taxed.

[Cassandra]

18. Do they sell $300 million of ads on his show?

[melm00se]

19. Limbaugh aside

entertainers are probably compensated the closest to "fair" as their compensation is driven by what they bring in via their performance.

[goforit]

21. I wouldn't worry folks. Limbaugh is gaining so much weight, he's gonna kill himself.

[BlooInBloo]

22. That's one thing I actually don't begrudge him.

[Raskolnik]

23. Of course it shouldn't. If he can squeeze that much money out of his sponsors, that's their business

If you don't want to support a hateful clown, don't listen to him and don't buy the products he endorses.

[LaPera]

24. Limbaugh richer than fuck preaching to his min wage sheep how greedy corporations are good for them

and workers only voice, unions are bad for them, and that someday if they allow corporations to deregulate & pay no taxes even they will be rich someday and not have to pay taxes, as the idiot sheep eat it up and vote republicans....

Republican racist like Limbaugh and his ditto-heads must be so thrill a black man (Steele) heads the republican party now and for years to come!!!

[Initech]

25. $1 mil per oxycontin pill taken daily?
