More drug money for the big guy... Didn't see or hear how many years the deal may be...

We could call that money an energy investment, if only we could figure out how to harness hot air.

He deserves every penny of it. There is no political person that makes news as often as he does, and it's not just cause he knows how to be controversial but that people listen, and people care.

He deserves it as a media celebrity. However, he is not a "political person" in the sense that he is anything other than a Right Wing mouthpiece.

It just proves my point (although it's not my quote): Never overestimate the intelligence of the voting public.

NY Times:
The contract renewal was announced Wednesday by the companies, and the financial details were provided by Mr. Limbaugh in an interview with The New York Times Magazine for an article to be published on Sunday. In the interview, Mr. Limbaugh said the new contract would pay him about $38 million a year for eight years. He also said he would receive a $100 million signing bonus.
I hope he's checking in with his doctors regularly if he expects to make it through the contract period. He's probably a better candidate for what happened to Tim Russert than Russert himself.

Only reason he's checking in with his doctors is for prescription refills.

My mom used to actually listen to him for "entertainment" because she thinks he and his followers are so ridiculous. I can't stomach him and have to leave the room.
