If Rush is charged with a felony, he could be off the air?

I just saw Aaron Brown interviewing a guy who said it's in his contract. Said that is you were a Florida prosecutor, you wouldn't want to anger his listeners. Just for being charged?

Until he signs another contract somplace. He's too valuable an asset for every broadcaster to turn against him.

Wonder if Clear Channel is interested in money or ideology?

worry about a few pissed off freepers with 6 teeth.

But I'd heard they aren't even pursuing jail time for Rush... so I don't know what to think of this thing. If they did, I have to assume he'd be off the air, one way or the other. Either he's got a morals clause, or his audience will dwindle in the face of his hypocrisy.

Or maybe I'm dreaming again... I dunno.

I never do, so it was a shock to the system when I did so on the drive home tonight. What I heard? ABC radio said that they didn't think this owuld have a long lasting effect on the Limpballs career. If you hated him before this would add fuel to the fire. If you were one of the 20 million 'Murikens who loved him before you will understand he is sick and getting the help he needs.
charmed, I'm sure.

the contract is with (his syndicator? the individual stations?).

In fact, I'd be surprised they'd invoke the clause. It's just an option.

It's not like this would automatically happen.

$250 million contract, if Limbaugh's ratings did in fact take a nose dive.

Clear Channel station.

What would that leave him to work with; Christian stations, or the 180 lower-power stations which he helped drum out of business? If I recall correctly, Clear Channel has given the advertisers huge discounts for "block" advertising, since they would get Rush with their ad time.

Nah, Rush is gonna walk away from this, smelling like a rose, just like any other Republican who gets caught doing exactly what he or she bashed a Dem for.

a couple years ago, i took it as a personal mission to get rid of rush. i spent six months cultivating relationships with the sponsers and the owner of the station who carried him.

the bottom line is the owner said rush SAVED his station and it's only rush that has kept it profitable. as long as he pulls the listeners/ratings the sponsers will be there. as long as the sponsers are there the stations will carry him.

he is
1 rich
2 white
3 male
4 conservative
5 a Bush buddy
6 powerful


It does not matter that his addiction is a crime and hurts people who NEED those meds. Because the reality is that when someone takes meds not perscribed for them that usually means someone in need of those meds miss a dose. One of his suppliers is a pharmacist in order to get those meds and cover his tracks he must have been shorting people with perscriptions on the number of doses they were supposed to be getting ( and were paying for I might add). This is what makes me so mad. Imagine being a cancer patient in need of meds and running out because you were shorted or having family members think you are 'slipping ' because you must have miscounted. It really makes my blood boil

turn this around where he becomes a hero in Florida for helping them catch the scumbags that are pushing the stuff. There'll be a Rush Limbaugh Day in Miami in the near future, never mind that Rush couldn't have possibly taken the amount of drugs he purchased, so he had to be giving them to somebody else.

he was dealing/using US postal service...4,300 pills in 4 days recieved thru the US mail...i'm not a lawyer but i do believe i am correct that this makes it fereral offense...anybody know for sure?

I heard a report on TV this AM that the authorities would wait until he completes his rehab before they even consider questioning him. If it were important, they would not wait, would they?

Why should a drug addict be allowed to propaganize our young people in the military. Flush Rush
