What do you think it is?

My guess: He's going to take over Glenn Beck's time slot on Fox News.

I love Beck but I love Rush, too. Wouldn't it be something to have Rush Limbaugh on TV before the 2012 election?
I'd say a TV/Cable gig as a political pundit - not on Fox......maybe MSNBC?

It really is not a slight on gay people. It is a slight on limbaugh, but you just don't get it.
How is imputing homosexuality to someone as a 'slight' (your word, not mine) not homophobic?

A revelation that Rush is gay would turn the world of many of his followers upside-down. The thought of that is what's funny.
Actually I can buy that. But I don't think that's what most here meant. (Of course they'll chime in now and say so.)

See post 64. I think he covered it well enough for you to be able to understand.

Kinda like when Ann Coulter used the "F" word against John 'The Breck Girl' Edwards. Excellent point.

For those who said he's running for office, that's not it. I believe he was asked about that point blank today.
Whatever it is, we can expect another thread about it 5 minutes after the announcement is made.

A 'kid knocked up out of wedlock' has probably learned the hard lessons that inspire her to encourage others not to make the same mistake. Kinda like a lung cancer patient lecturing kids not to smoke or an ex addict lecturing kids to avoid drugs. That's not hypocrisy.
