Reply #6: Rush Limpballs $58.5 million, Glenn Beck $35million [View All]

<snip>
Let?s start with this gentleman here, the man with the cigar, Rush Limbaugh. Doesn?t he look happy? According according to Newsweek, he makes $58.7 million a year, and extending the tax cuts means he?ll have another $2.7 million. Mega dittos, Rush, and mega money. Let?s look at the next one.

Here?s Glenn Beck, according to Newsweek Glenn Beck makes $33 million a year as a pundit and extending the Bush Tax Cuts means a cool $1.5 million for Glenn bBeck?s ongoing imitation of Howard Beale from Network. Now let?s look at the next one.

Sean Hannity. Newsweek says that Sean Hannity, this man of the people makes $22 million a year from his act on Fox. And that means the Bush Tax cuts mean an extra $1 million. $1 million for Sean Hannity. Maybe he can afford some anger management classes. Let?s take a look at the next one.

Bill O?Reilly. He makes a modest $20 million a year from his gig on Fox. That means that the Bush tax cuts give him not quite seven figures, nearly $914,000 of extra cash. It?s easy to see why Bill O?Reilly wants to see the Bush tax cuts extended. And I have to say, he?s no pinhead when it comes to that.

And Now, Sarah Palin. Sarah Palin has made $14 million this year from cashing in on her fame. In fact, she?s done a better job of turning fame into cash than anyone in American history. $14 million. So she wants the Bush tax cuts extended so she can make an extra cool $638,000. As she was ? as she would gesture (shoulder shrug.)

And now on to Newt Gingrich, the man who did such a great job of running America in the 1990?s, he wants a second chance in this decade. Newt if you do to us now what you did to us then, we?ll be in trouble. But Newt Gingrich makes $5 million a year from his punditry, he?ll get an extra quarter million dollars a year. An extra quarter million dollars a year from the Bush tax cuts being extended.
