That jabbering nitwit on Fox just signed a $100 million, five-year deal that will distribute his radio show through Citadel and Clear Channel networks. It’s significantly less than Rush Limbaugh’s recent $400 million, eight-year contract — but still, nothing to sneeze at. So what might Sean Hannity spend his truckloads of cash on? MORE »

MANY WORDS WRITTEN ABOUT RUSH LIMBAUGH: The NYT Magazine has posted Zev Chafets’ very long and still pretty interesting Sunday cover story on the AM talk-radio entertainer. Conclusion: Rush is a super-rich weirdo and clever broadcaster who annoys a lot of people and pleases a lot of other people, the end. [NYT Magazine]

Ed Hale, creator of the World’s Greatest Website for pretend Hillary Clinton fanatics who WILL NOT VOTE FOR THE COLORED, has a favor to ask. Would you mind making Internet-radio commercials for his make-believe Internet Radio show against the Nobamas? You know, if you “think you have what it takes to be a radio star”? It is going to be a whole radio network — “The NO Obama Talk Show Network. A place where you can vent your angry against Obama.” Let’s vent our angry together. MORE »

Former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay — whose accomplishments include outsourcing legislation to lobbyists, money laundering, playing golf with Jack Abramoff, and ultimately destroying any hope for his party to regain Congressional majorities in the near future — is now going on some measly radio show calling Barack Obama a “Marxist.” Silly Tom! That kind of blather belongs on the tawdry op-ed pages of the New York Times, not on America’s radio. [The Hill]

The Ron Paul surprise sneak attack on Pennsylvania is a real winner! He now has this radio ad up in the state, and you can listen to it in the video clip above. Whacky! It suggests that you call 877-RON-PAUL for more information. We called that number for some reason and noted to some volunteer that we heard about Ron Paul on the radio and were told to call the number. He responded, “Ron Paul will be on the ballot tomorrow, if you want to vote for him.” 877-RON-PAUL is the best Ron Paul Liberty phone number ever! [YouTube]

Now that Mitt Romney is … please, one second [editorial sobbing] … now that Mittens is out of the presidential race, Rush Limbaugh has to scrape together a new plan for life. Rather than just support John McCain, he intends to to raise cash for Hillary Clinton. Not because he likes her (please)! He wants her to get the nomination so that his party can find a cause to rally around. But that doesn’t mean he likes John McCain! He just wants the Republicans to win the election. But not John McCain! [Raw Story]

No, he actually is! He’s dedicating his entire show today towards John McCain being a gay liberal, who’s only good for the gay nomination in the Gay Party, because he votes for gay… spending… reform… things of that nature. Hey, he’d be a perfect fit for the Republican nomination!

Either way, we must praise Rush Limbaugh today, and only today: VOTE FOR MITTENS. TOMORROW. FOR THE THING. Please? [The Page]
