WABC hits a new low -- "Rush on Broadway" for hurricane relief
Edited on Tue Sep-06-05 08:29 AM by brooklynite
I caught this on the radio as I was running out the door, and hoped it was just a gag by the morning anchors (Curtis & Kuby is the only show I can tolerate listening too, largely because leftist Kuby dominates the arguements). But, unfortunately, it's all too true:

The Broadway event of the year is about to take place:

One Show

One Man

One Performance Only

RUSH ON BROADWAY - TUESDAY, OCTOBER 18th at 7PM!

77WABC announces Rush Limbaugh LIVE on stage at the New Amsterdam Theater on 42nd Street in New York City!

Proceeds benefit Hurricane Katrina Disaster Relief Efforts


http://www.wabcradio.com/listingsentryfeature.asp?ID=363963&PT=WABC+Talk+Topic+of+the+Day

And just to round things out, there will be a special introduction by WABC's Sean Hannity

Why they think this would be popular in the New York market (especially in debaucherous Manhattan) is beyond me.

3. Don't worry; it'll be cancelled when only five people show up.

4. Let's Buy Up The Tickets
Wouldn't it be a shocker to Rushbo and Insanity when they see 3,000 unfriendly faces in the crowd.

14. Tickets are a loss-leader; REAL money-maker is the "rotten tomato" booth.
Seriously though, everyone should go who can make it...
And then BOO his cyst-ridden ass off of the stage.

It seems like a really STUPID idea for him to go there;
When we look back in a few years,
will we say that THIS is the moment
he finally "jumped the shark"?

5. Why are these people trying to raise money for hurricane relief after
berating the victims on their shows?

This has to be a joke.

6. I would think in NYC there will be quite a few unfriendly
faces in the audience. I hope they boo him off the stage. What a horse's ass. Wait...horse's asses aren't evil. What an evil waste of space that slimeball is.

I guess after he blames all the "welfare queens" for not leaving NO after being ordered to, he'll send the proceeds to Trent Lott for his new house.

:puke:

7. oh this is priceless. Does AAR know about this yet?
since the proceeds benefit the disaster relief efforts, then it's a win/win situation. You get to donate money to a good cause AND throw shit at Rush! I wish I could be there.

8. I just figured it out!!!!!!!!!
Edited on Tue Sep-06-05 08:38 AM by OctOct1
Those bastards

They failed to respond to Katrina.
Blame the Democrat leaders for the failure.
Then Rush, with pity for the victims of the democrats, takes to NY and raises money from the biggest Blue state.
and if NY is not generous (to him) well, he will further beat up the Blue state
Oh man, they are sick puppies

10. I heard it too. They promoted it like the 2nd coming of Christ.
What a farce. I smell fraud and corruption here. Since WHEN have those two brain-dead heartless idiots ever cared about anything other than their ratings?

15. Hey, at least he is now trying to help the relief effort
And doing what he can to extract some cash from his dittoheads. Yes, the man is vile and evil, and yes he berated the victims last week, but don't knock him now that he is actually trying to do something positive. Remember, retraining a neo-con is like working with a puppy, and you need lots of positive reenforcement before they stop shitting in the house.

16. give me a break!!
There are no dittoheads in NY.
This is part of the game.
see my previous thread.
Rush is laughing his a$$ off and playing it for all it's worth.
He is nothing but slime. He and the Administration he defends should be kicked out of NY

18. Oh gee, that's brilliant
Look friend, we have a huge disaster on our hands, and we, as a people, need to put the politics aside as much as possible, OK. There is definetely an audience for Rush in NYC(otherwise why would he still continue to pull down the good ratings he does), and Rush may be the only man to get these callous dittohead monkeys of his to open their wallets and unload some cash for the cause. I hate Rush, you hate Rush, but every once in a blue moon, evil can perform good acts, even if they're for evil's own self interest. Therefore don't kick the man for doing good. He has got plenty of other BS to bash him over the head with.

What, you think that the charitable aid agencies should refuse whatever money he raises? Give me a fucking break!

17. They claim they lead in Ocean County
I remember when Curtis said that WABC leads in Ocean County NJ. You can hardly get the signal there. So I guess all the ditto heads in Ocean County love listening to static, which in most cases is the Republican Agenda anyways.

BTW Curtis was calling Ocean County, Orange County for a few days, until somebody corrected him.
