Thank you, Mr. Clipping Service.
You managed to think of nine whole words of your own to add to the story.
I'm impressed.

Well, far-right Michael Savage is no fan of Rush--calls him Hush Bimbo and claims he's a sellout and
not a real conservative. Jealousy...meanwhile, transcript of Rush's appearance is on Rush's site
and also on Radio Equalizer. From the latter: "And in a performance that will likely quiet criticism from the right as to why Rush chose to appear during Katie Couric's debut week, Limbaugh hit a home run. Arguing that patriotism means "each generation has a responsibility to the next", the talk titan implored the left to "stop pretending" that terrorism is nothing more than a series of isolated incidents."

Re: couric family values ..limbaugh hedonist
Couric has two kids and stuck by a dying husband through a long illness..Limbaugh has been through three wives and dumped Daran Kagan of cnn and has no kids ...couric lives family values .....limbaugh talks about them as he takes the next blue pill fueled sex trip to a land of cheap hookers...why do Drudge and Ann Coulter hang out together? why aren't they married? and have kids to impact the next generation?

Re: couric family values ..limbaugh hedonist
Family values?
Rush is not a social conservative. He's a shill for the neo-cons and RNC.
What's all this about making babies? People can't hang out without starting a family?
Katie's been doing some hanging out of her own (without getting preggers), including:
A musician.
A TV producer(Cosby, Roseanne)/part-owner of the Red Sox.
A Republican billionaire/McDonald's distributor.
And how do you know Rush "dumped" Kagain? Reportedly it was the other way around.
Maybe you've been listening to Relevant Radio or EWTN too much?
Ever notice that except for Rush, conservative talk radio is dominated by Irish Catholics? What's that about?

Back to the point...
NOBODY knows the following like Rush knows it: IT'S A SHOW.
What-he-does on-air is LOTS-less-about how-he-feels than it is about ratings.
Few know how-to-play-that-game better.
Rush says-what-he-says because saying-so works.
Rush, an ex-DJ, understands something that talk-hosts-who-were-once-DJs-know:
How to work Arbitron's clock.
He's "playing the hits."
Average Quarter Hour radio.
Admittedly, over the years, as he's settled-SO-comfortably-into his perch atop Talk radio's totem pole, El Rushbo himself has started to "read his clippings." Most days, The Rush Limbaugh Show is less-entertaining today than when-he-was-on-the-come 10 years ago. Heck, it takes him 45 minutes to get to the first caller on "Open Line Friday."
This is not an uncommon dynamic. He's believing his own PR. High school graduate Limbaugh has dinner with Clarence Thomas a couple times and he thinks he's setting policy!
IT'S A SHOW.
And it's a show which would probably wobble-less "horizontally" (same-hour day-to-day recycling) if it was still as-entertaining-as the-Rush-we-used-to-know; and if it wasn't SO dang predictable. You already know what he's going to talk about next. And with Arbitron being a memory test, that doesn't help. When it's Wednesday, and a diarykeeper is remembering-as-far-back-as Thursday, and Monday sounded like Tuesday, that can't help.
And I wish that he wasn't so cavalier about iconic slogans. Unless-you-were-listening when-it-was-first-explained, you don't know why he pronounces "Al Gore" "AL-gore;" or where Rio Linda is and why he puts those people down. And who-or-what is "the drive-by media?" SEEMS to be a convenient umbrella for news organizations whose coverage disagrees with his opinion. FUNDAMENTALLY, successful radio -- ANY format -- needs to be instantly self-explanatory. So Rush-assuming-that-you-know all these inside jokes risks channel surfers feeling left-out.
BUT BE CLEAR: He's still Number One. The gorilla.
I've got two Rush Limbaugh playbooks.
One for markets in-which my client is the affiliate.
The other for markets where we compete.
I'd rather play WITH him than play AGAINST him.
But, twice this year, we've beat him.
By being un-Rush. Live, local, more-interactive, largely apolitical.
Like more of radio was before three primetime hours just plugged into a satellite.
Aloha from Baltimore, where desperate Red Sox fans -- clinging to an-only-mathematically-possible hope -- cheer FOR the Orioles tonight, and AGAINST 'em tomorrow.

PS: Obviously, Rush isn't just playing good Average Quarter Hour radio. His recent "Free Speech" segment on The CBS Evening News with Katie Couric was genuius Cume radio...a BRILLIANT exchange-of-audience. Each party realized 6 figures in measurable media value. More on this amidst the red-hot...no WHITE-hot...controversy you will read about Katie in a separate thread, among the most-read of all posts in News/Talk.

Re: Back to the point...
This is so true. I detest Rush Limbaugh, but try to listen to him several times during the week to hear what he is talking about. It seems whenever I tune in he's right on topic. Like today he was singing the praises of ABC's docufraud on 9/11.

Is that anything like the document fraud Dan Rather and CBS participated in before the 2004 election?
Sorry, just had to get that in there
gr8oldies said:
Absolute truth, huh? Have I ever told you about this bridge I have for sale in Brooklyn? You believe me, dontcha?
I can identify with the point Baroosk makes.
<< I detest Rush Limbaugh, but try to listen to him several times during the week to hear what he is talking about. >>
BACK WHEN RUSH WAS THE NEW THING:
I, personally, disagreed with most-of-what-he-said.
But was hugely entertained by-the-way-he-said-it.
LATELY:
It's the opposite.
I, personally, can buy-into more of what-he's-saying.
But I find the-way-he-says-it tough to take.
And that's something that I'm hearing more from listeners.
Repetition seems to be part of the problem when his horizontal maintenance is off, and we probe why.
Focus group participants mock his repetitive shtick, i.e., "half my brain tied behind my back."
Rush seems to miscalculate when listeners understand that he's tongue-in-cheek.
And -- in the conservative heartland, and church-going South -- "talent on loan from God" sometimes offends.
It's noteworthy when different listeners in different places feed back the same comments.
A couple times lately, I've heard listeners mock the sissified way Rush pronounces "issues."
And BY FAR the most common beef I hear is how it's ALWAYS ALL ABOUT HIM.
As I said above, I'd rather be the affiliate than the competitor.
But it's a shame when style obscures substance.

I wouldn't necessarily call SAVAGE a far-right winger. I don't listen every night, but the times I have, he seems to be a more cosmopolitan type host. He doesn't dwell on right-wing politics as much. Of course, he has his opinions and his moments that might be called right-wing, but in no way can you say he toes the line with Bush, especially on the Iraq war.
He's also anti-outsourcing of jobs and other things that go well with others such as CNN's LOU DOBBS.
Savage's show is interesting to hear. It's not what you'd always expect to hear in a conservative radio show.
Now, tune in to Rush and Sean and you will find that predictable and boring "liberals are evil" tripe.

This isn't the appropriate venue to discuss whether Michael Savage is correct or incorrect in his views. But, I don't think anyone can deny that Savage's opinions are not only on the right, they are on the extremely far right. Savage is much farther to the right than most other conservative talk hosts.
in no way can you say he toes the line with Bush
Exactly. To Savage's world view, President Bush isn't conservative enough. Savage is several steps further to the right than the President.
tune in to Rush and Sean and you will find that predictable and boring "liberals are evil" tripe.
That's also a valid observation. But, it's an observation of their style more than their content. Most news/talk hosts pain the world in shades of "us" and "them". That's part of the schtick. Savage differs from the other in that his diatribes against the left are even stronger. "Diaper Dopers" is hardly an intellectual accolade for those he disagrees with.

When he started out on WABC and in national syndication, Rush was more of a "paleoconservative" (Buchannan Republican) and somewhat critical of the neocons, the party establishment and Daddy Bush (although he loved Ronnie). Then Daddy Bush let him spend the night in the Lincoln Bedroom and Rush sold out to the RNC. Now he is a neocon-RNC-Bush shill.
Populist conservatives don't trust Bush and the corporate (Federalist-Whig) Republicans; never have and never will.
