Rush says he is "America's anchorman"

[quaoar]

Edward R. Murrow is spinning in his grave for sure.

Meanwhile, more than a quarter surveyed said that another champion of judicious reportage, radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh, was a journalist. Limbaugh said Monday that he was "not really surprised" by the results showing that 27 percent of Americans would describe him as a journalist. "I am America's anchorman, doing news play-by-play 15 hours a week for nearly 17 years now," Limbaugh said, "and this is just more evidence that the old media's monopoly-like dominance is finished."

1. Maybe America's Assclown - he doesn't speak for me.

[Warpy]

12. America's Anchor, certainly

dragging the nation down by convincing morons to vote Repuglican.

[Lindacooks]

28. LOL! That was my first thought.

He's an anchor in more ways than one.

[RobertSeattle]

2. Huh? Doesn't that mean 73% DO NOT think he is a journalist.

Up is down. White is Black...

[ComerPerro]

27. That's what I'm unclear about

[Inland]

3. "news play by play"? What an idiot you are, Rush.

News isn't a sport, you dope. Not every news event can be turned into winners or losers or into innings won or lost. Only an unamerican dick like you who is only interested in making republican victories could preend that is "news" and not propaganda, at worst, or feel good circle jerk among partisans, at best.

Go take some drugs.

4. Well, Rush always fancied himself a sportscaster

Remember his forgettable stint on Monday Night Football?

[Sandpiper]

8. And ESPN, where his racism got the better of him

Rush just doesn't understand why black athletes get so much attention.

6. In a Tug-O-War maybe

He might be good at anchoring the rope.

[jeff30997]

7. He sure is America's pimple on the ass.

[longship]

9. Flaming Nazi Gasbag!!

And no, I'm not talking about the dirigible Hindenburg.

[BOSSHOG]

10. 73% say no he is not

and that's spun as some sort of mandate. He is a total failure at everything he has ever done except hate other human beings. And, if there is a God, he will soon be behind bars with a very aggressive cell mate.

[ohtransplant]

11. Hey Rush - You and your party are more like America's Anchor!

[Chemical Bill]

13. I thought he quit the drugs. n/t

[coloradodem2005]

14. .

[chieftain]

15. Only if it is spelled Amerikkka's Anchorman.

[Dr Fate]

16. A one man Cheech & Chong for hate radio, yes. America's Anchor? No.

n/t

[MsTryska]

17. Anchorman?

Like a heavy weight dragging us down?


i can agree with that.

[snowbear]

18. He's FREAKING because ..........................

The two top radio executives who made Limpballs a household name have...

--->>> TURNED THEIR ATTENTION TO ED SCHULTZ !!!

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
The guys who made Limbaugh famous!?!?

No wait!!!! .. This is actually good news for progessive radio!!!

..."Michaels, formerly CEO of Clear Channel Radio, has been credited with the firm’s awesome radio growth; his critics say he has homogenized the medium on a national scale. Krane was a partner in the firm that developed Rush Limbaugh, and previously worked as Vice President for ABC and Premiere Radio."

Eddie Sez: ..."Schultz acknowledges some of his listeners will cry havoc when they hear the man who made Limbaugh a star has bought his show, but says it should be understood as a sign that progressive radio is here to stay."

Ah... but is it the righties who will be more pissed off in the end? You bet!! ((( READ IT AND WEEP RIGHTIES )))

...."This is going to be a hard pill for established right-wing media to swallow,” Holm told RAW STORY. “They’ve championed the talk-down culture and I guarantee you that Drudge is not going to touch this, because there is no way for the right to spin this story to make progressive radio or Ed Schultz look bad. This is a clear victory, and it’s gotta have them shaking in their boots.”

Upcoming plans... "Schultz, too, believes the deal demonstrates progressive talk radio’s profitability and permanence. He says he’s looking forward to being part of the conversation in the midterm 2006 elections and the 2008 presidential race."

And listen to this ~~~~

"A recent Newsweek article stated Schultz has the fastest-growing radio show since Limbaugh’s—currently in 95 markets, he’s shooting for 200 by year’s end."

"The show will continue to be syndicated by Jones Radio Networks, a Denver-based distributor."

Congratulations Big Eddie!!

~~~ Fastest Growing Progressive Radio Program in the Nation!! ~~~~

20. America will say who it's anchorman lareaute is, thank you very much!

If it worked that way, just declaring yourself something, I'd be America's sweetheart.

[KansDem]

21. If "anchorman" is American slang for "one with a trunk-full of drugs..."

Then, yes...Rush is America's "anchorman."

[MojoXN]

22. And by "anchorman"...

He meant, "Asshat", right?

[area51]

23. friggin' assclown.

When caught @ his many lies, he always used to say that he was merely "an entertainer". Why aren't you in jail where you belong, oxyboy criminal?

[Felix Mala]

24. He wanted to be America's Pharmacist.

[Touchdown]

25. Great! Let's throw him overboard and see...

if he stops this boat from drifting.
