Rush's Bio
To grassroots political conservatives from coast to coast, his name alone is enough to bring on an adrenaline "rush." He is their media leader, their official voice. And, to the extent that his extraordinary public influence contributed largely to the Republicans' 1994 takeover of Congress, he is their political savior. No wonder the Rush Limbaugh show is a broadcasting phenomenon, reaching 20 million listeners each week over more than 600 radio stations nationwide.

Not even his most ardent fans would call Limbaugh shy or modest. With the air of one who knows his power, he devotes virtually all of his show's three hours, five days a week, to a one-man all-out attack on those he perceives as "the enemy" --- the nation's political liberals from the President on down, women's rights activists he calls "feminazis," and "environmentalist wackos" ---all the while reminding his audience that his talent is "on loan from God," and that he does his show with "half his brain tied behind his back just to make it fair."

When he is not issuing his own conservative commentary, Limbaugh accepts phone calls from listeners. His rare on-air guests are among the upper echelon of the Republican Right, such as President George Bush who called Limbaugh to the White House in 1992 asking for the broadcaster's public support in the upcoming election campaign.

Aware that there are many in his audience who devour his every word as conservative gospel, Limbaugh provides them more than his daily political sermons: His two published books, "The Way Things Ought to Be" and "See, I Told You So," rose quickly to the top of the best-seller list. He followed them with an audio cassette, "American Dream," and a videotape, "Sometimes You Just Gotta Laugh." It has reached the point where some restaurants have set aside "Rush Rooms," where Limbaugh devotees can hear his show even while dining.

As busy a schedule as Limbaugh maintains, he finds time to hit selected stops on the lecture circuit as one of the nation's most sought after --- and highly paid --- speakers. Limbaugh admits that, wherever he goes, he is "preaching to the choir," but keeping the faithful fulfilled has its own political and personal rewards.

The unprecedented success of the Rush Limbaugh Show has literally changed the face of talkradio, as stations throughout the U.S. take on an increasingly conservative stance in an effort to follow his high-ratings popularity. None have come close, because Limbaugh's extreme right-wing conservatism is only part of his secret; it's his in-your-face, take-no-enemies style of delivery that draws listeners who share his views and demand nothing less than such narrowly focused conviction.

On Today’s Show...

Mark Davis from WBAP in Dallas/Ft. Worth filled in on Tuesday. Rush returns tomorrow.

Show Highlight: On the day of the Kentucky and Oregon primaries, what are the next orders for Operation Chaos? Mark speculates, but be sure to tune in tomorrow for official orders from the commander-in-chief. (Rush 24/7 Members: Listen Here)

"This notion that thirty percent of Hillary voters won't vote for Obama? Oh yes they will." -- Mark Davis

Show Highlight: Wouldn't you love it if an oil company exec would say, "Hey Congressman, there are few things more expensive than finding, drilling, and refining oil. And if those of you environmental extremists would just get out of the way and let us actually find more American oil, then you'd see oil prices go down."

» Thomas Sowell: Too "Complex"?

"This week, expect the oil company executives to get another tongue lashing from grandstanding politicians who want to be perceived back home as having done something about gas prices, as if American politicians can do anything." -- Mark DavisShow Highlight: Talking to a Hitler starter kit like Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is not like reaching out to the bully who wanted your lunch money in the fifth grade. The left does not get that every tyrant on earth lives for a photo op with the American president. To give that honor would be a blunder of global proportions.
(Rush 24/7 Members: Listen Here)

"There is a reason why Senator Obama and his party are perceived as soft on terror. It's because they are." -- Mark Davis

Rush Show Notes for 5/16/08
Friday 05-16-2008 4:34pm CT

On Today’s Show...

The Democrats are throwing a fit over President Bush's truthful statement about appeasing evil. Obama threw a tantrum, taking it personally even though the president didn't mention Obama by any of his names. (Rush 24/7 Members: Listen Here)

When you're a messiah, everything that happens anywhere in the world is about you, eh, Barack? What a spoiled little child this guy is. (Rush 24/7 Members: Listen Here)

A helpful guide for the speech police: Things you can't say about Obama, or talk about because Lil' Barack might think are about him. (Rush 24/7 Members: Listen Here)

Pearl of Wisdom: "Barack Obama would not only meet with terrorists, he has one as a good friend: William Ayers. Obama is a flat-out liar, a manipulator of words and of events. He thinks he is above criticism because he thinks he is so special."

Rush spent the second hour of Friday's program interviewing CBS Sports broadcast legend Jim Nantz about his book of recollections. (Rush 24/7 Members: Listen Here)

McCain promised utopia by 2013. Now Democrats accuse him of "timetables" for Iraq. How's it feel to be falsely accused on this, Senator? Do you feel like Mitt Romney?

Rush's commencement speech preview. (Rush 24/7 Members: Listen Here)

How do we revitalize the GOP? Ronald Reagan laid it out in this 1977 speech.

Pearl of Wisdom: "HD DVD didn't quite make it. Blu-ray did. That's going to speed the process of people getting into that market. You can thank me for that: I chose Blu-ray early on and have every disc -- other than the stupid 'how to dance' stuff."

Rush's gut feeling: Compulsory service isn't American. It's a way for liberals to force people to do things they want them to do. (Rush 24/7 Members: Listen Here)

A great Open Line Friday question: Does the Maha Rushie meditate? Ohmmmm, no.

Rush Show Notes for 5/15/08
Thursday 05-15-2008 3:34pm CT

On Today’s Show...

Senator McCain's speech falls flat. He's campaigning as a Democrat! Senator, if we don't have "politics" we don't have democracy. (Rush 24/7 Members: Listen Here)

Pearl of Wisdom: "What should Republicans running for election do? First, they have to rally their voters. After that, make a case to the undecideds -- and it's time to take the gloves off where the Democrats are concerned. There have been no accomplishments since the Democrats took control of Congress. Be unafraid in reminding people of the overall consistent failures of liberalism -- and then stand up for who they are, stand up for conservatism." (Rush 24/7 Members: Listen Here)

President Bush ripped the appeasers who'd chat with the "Death to America" mullahs of Iran -- and Obama's loser supporters Tom Daschle and John Kerry took offense! They want to shield this lightweight from criticism. (Rush 24/7 Members: Listen Here)

Pearl of Wisdom: "When you're a messiah, whatever you say is profound. So when Obama says he's going to talk with these leaders who hate us, because talking is good, he expects no criticism; 'cause he's a messiah -- and, believe me, that's how he views himself. 'Don't you realize how special I am? I'm Barack Obama!'"

Reagan Democrats are in crisis, literally on the verge of tears because they have no candidate to vote for that shares their values. (Rush 24/7 Members: Listen Here)

An Air Force caller from Dubai suggests Rush set up a super-secret meeting with McCain and set him straight. The man's 72-years-old. He's not going to change.

Liberals attack GM's fantastic Chevy Tahoe hybrid because it's not "green" enough.

Pearl of Wisdom: "I don't like negative people. I used to be one. I keep hearing from people who say, 'Rush, we're screwed no matter what happens here, no matter who wins the presidency.' I don't think we're screwed. If I thought we were screwed, I would retire. What would be the point here?" (Rush 24/7 Members: Listen Here)

America is the solution, not the problem. The first thing you must know about the State Department: they think America is guilty. This is what the career people there believe.
