The bone comment has been well-documented. It was made back in 1990 when Rush went by the name of Jeff Christie.
Keep digging.

Limbaugh has millions of listeners who seek to him for answers and wisdom. He is a guru in right wing circles, especially with the scared angry southerner.

I rather think your humble correspondant listens to Rush for insight (no doubt well augmented by inside information) and listens because Rush says things most people think but are afraid to say because of Political Correctness, aka Social Fascism. I am neither scared, angry, nor Southern.

If you are afraid to speak your mind about issues important to you, then that's your problem not political correctness.

You weep in fear while I'll continue to speak my mind.

But according to BO they aren't capable of rendering him incapable of getting anything done.

"Rush Limbaugh acknowledged making these statements in a 1990 Newsday article (although the latter, at least, occurred not on Limbaugh's now-familiar talk and political commentary radio program, but at the beginning of his broadcast career back in the early 1970s when he was hosting a Top 40 music show under the name "Jeff Christie" on either WIXZ or KQV in Pittsburgh)"

So he did not make the comments in 1990. My mistake. He acknowledged making them in 1990. Feel better?

I don't know if Limbaugh actually told a caller to get the bone out of her nose, what I do know is that he produced a song calling Obama a negro.

I think Limbaugh defended it by saying that Black people call each other that.

Wow talk about low information...

The song was Barack the Magic Negro which satirized this article by black liberal David Ehrenstein which accused Obama of being a "Magic Negro".

Colbert/Stewart do this to conservative opinion blowhards all the time, but I guess making fun of your ideological opponents is only acceptable when your target is conservative.
