I thought he lost his hearing from oxycontin over use? Get your facts straight. He lost his hearing due to a heriditary problem. The oxycontin use came about because of the pain from the probelsm with his ears. FACT Extremely heavy hydrocodone (Vicodin or Lorcet) abuse is known to cause hearing impairment. Commentators have speculated that radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh's hearing loss was at least in part caused by his admitted addiction to narcotic pain killers, in particular Vicodin and OxyContin.[5] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hearing_loss FACT : You have exactly ZERO proof that his use of Oxycontin had anything at all to do with his hearing loss. So, unless you can actually PROVE it, then you are doing nothing more than spreading rumors. Dang, just like Rush does. How eloquent...lol

Rush Who? He is that discusting scum bag who just signed a contract worth about 400 million,ya know the champion of the middle class and opressed. one knows for sure, as Rush Limbaugh is not tied to a public company, and thus does not have to publish figures. This said, however, press releases and insider sources have been able to change a guess to "educated guess". Known revenue includes: •$285 million salary and bonus for 2001 through 2008 ($35m bonus, salary of approximately $31.25m/year) •$400 million salary and bonus from 2009 through 2016 ($100m plus bonus - the exact figure was not disclosed, except for "nine digit bonus" - and $38m/year salary) So through his salary itself, he has earned $285 million for current work, $400 million for future. And that only covers back to 2001. Rush has been on the air since 1988. While he certainly earned less in his early days, it can be assumed his salary was significant. Additionally, it is rumored that he receives a share of advertising revenue, which would be quite large, considering his 20 million listeners each week. Thus, in conclusion, Rush Limbaugh is close to, or just over the billionaire net worth mark. With at least $685 million, and advertising revenue joined with previous contracts which must be in the hundreds-of-millions range, Rush can be assumed an essential billionaire.

I happen to be a union member. He thinks businesses, especially large corporations, should be allowed to do whatever they want. After seeing Enron and Adelphia at their worst, I think there needs to be some kind of system in place to ensure that kind of crap doesn't happen again. He sees no problem with execs making multi million dollar bonuses when their companies are failing. I definitely have a problem with that. But, all that being said...I really couldn't give a rat's azz about how much money Rush Limbaugh makes.

They'll never let him die anyway. They have hours and hours of his show taped. 30 more years rerunning the last 30 years. If you hated hearing him the first time imagine how much you'll hate hearing it all again.

Isn't he the self proclaimed leader of the Republican Party? No. As a matter of fact, he has denied any thoughts along those lines. The Dems are the ones who have decided to make that proclamation.
