ST. LOUIS MAN CLAIMS RUSH LIMBAUGH AFFAIR...
<snip>
St. Louis
Dec. 8, 2002
A 46 year old music store owner from the St. Louis area, Elliot Sanders, is claiming that while a college student at Southeast Missouri University in 1971, he had an affair with Rush Limbaugh. Sanders claims that he and Limbaugh, the well known talk radio star, had an affair that went on for about 3 months in the fall of 1971...

Sanders stated that he met Limbaugh in a class he was taking, but it was only after meeting his sister, who was openly gay at that time, that he found out Rush himself was gay. "Rush was a charming man privately," says Sanders, "I met him in a class I was taking, and got on a first name basis with him. I didn't realize he was gay until his sister came to visit him. She was gay, and like, we hit it off, and she seemed shocked that I didn't know Rush was gay as well. When I found out I was like ... wow!"

Sanders says that privately, Limbaugh was very sensitive and caring man, but that he was furiously angry that KFBK, the top 40 radio station he worked while still in high school would not offer him a full time job.

"He was furious about that," said Sanders, "And he often told me that he was really going to show them." According to Sanders, Rush's politics at the time were somewhat middle of the road. "Rush said that he though most people are incredibly gullible, and he felt that the key to radio programming was to reach that crowd, and that it would be really, really easy. He thought he thought he could get anyone to believe anything he said, and the more outrageous is was, the more they would believe it."

When asked when he thought Limbaugh "went straight," Sanders replied, "What are you talking about? I mean, he's been married four times now, do people really not get why he doesn't stay married? I guarantee none of those marriages was ever consummated."

Sanders would not divulge any further details, but when asked if he feared retaliation from Limbaugh for his revelations, he stated, "No, Rush wouldn't do that, he's really a sweetie at heart, but some of the people who listen to him might. I think most of them are psychotic. I don't think these people realize he's just pandering to them for ratings, but if they find out, I wouldn't want to be there."

4. He does have a point though about those marriages.
If it turns out the Limbaugh is gay I will not forgive him for what he has done.

6. i'd say the first two comments at the bottom of the 'article' sum it up.
Edited on Thu Feb-17-05 10:13 PM by codegreen
it looks unlikely that this is a true story, just from the simple evidence that the story was originally credited to the STL Post Dispatch for some reason, and upon being contacted they had to xxxx that out. so, right now, there is no source for the story i can see.

also, this guy being 14 and in college in 1971 sounds very unlikely, though of course could be possible.

edit: though i hadn't noticed it was a 2002 'article'. so sure, he could have been in college at 16-17. nix that point. still, there is no source for this story whatsoever.

8. He would have been 15 at most, because he was 46
in Dec 2002.

10. Which is why this makes no sense
Sorry, I don't buy it.

I can wish it was true...but I don't buy it. Not without some proof.

Nobody would've believed the bloggers regarding 'Gannon' if not for the proof. We need more than one man's allegations.

9. Is Rush Limpballs gay?
Of course, if Rush Limpballs was gay, this would explain perhaps
why he had such a problem with his rectum, sufficient to
keep him out of the draft.

12. What's the source?
Kind of hard to believe a story with no source.
