Please help New Orleanians Get Rid of Rush

Background: New Orleanians have had the great fortune of Intercom's United Radio broadcast which featured local personalities discussing the recovery process and progress. But last week they rearranged the schedule in order to reinstate Rush to his mid-day slot. Since then he's made it clear that he is completely ignorant about the situation here and doesn't' even seem to support recovery efforts here. If you would like to help us make WSMB return the Al Franken - Air America show tothe 11am-2pm slot instead of Rush Limbaugh please call (504) 593-2100 and complain (you can ask for the "Rush Limbaugh Comment Line" and leave message but I think it's "full")

Please return Al Franken - Air America show to the 11am-2pm slot on
WSMB instead of Rush Limbaugh

"Demand from local listeners returned syndicated talk host Rush Limbaugh to his midday time slot on WWL AM-870 last Wednesday, so imagine the reaction of all but his most fervid acolytes to his opening-day gut-punch to New Orleans."

--snip--

"And I'm not hearing this from them," he said. "I know it's bad but . . . I'm under the impression that the main problem that the local officials have is that they don't have enough Democrats coming back who fled or who were evacuated and they're worried about the next elections."

Limbaugh added that he'd heard about lots of good-paying recovery jobs going unfilled.

"There's no place for people to live," Ray (the new orleanian caller) said.

"The whole city?" Limbaugh countered. "There's nowhere to live? The French Quarter?"

ON EDIT: I didn't ask for the Limbaugh Comment Line b/c I hear that it's "FULL" so I spoke with an curteous Intercom representative who make a note of my call.

take another oxycontin and stop blabbering. :grr:

"returned syndicated talk host Rush Limbaugh to his midday time slot on WWL AM-870 last Wednesday,"

This makes sense.....Only the upper class or wealthy of New Orleans are able to afford to live there without benefit of a steady paying job. Of course, they want to listen to someone who caters to wealthy or want-to-be wealthy listeners.

Maybe most or all the Air America listeners are evacuees, listening to Air America in other cities?

when the next NOLA elections are held. He said that only wealthy people should get a full vote. Then a caller who used to live across the lake and used to work in NOLA called in about the awful "gimme" people on public assistance in NOLA and how he hated them. :(

That man is truly, utterly heartless.

:( I truly detest Neal Boortz. He is a cruel, chickenhawk bastard.
I live in Northeast Georgia. His stupid show is broadcast on not just one but two radio stations in my town. :(

and WHY? Just curious why they decided that Rush's spewing was going to put $$$ in their pockets all of a sudden. There has to be some motivation for them to justify switching to the opposite side of the talk dial (not to mention how far to the extreme it is).
