Nearly 8 years after 9/11, Rush tells NY to 'drop dead'
http://rawstory.com/blog/2009/03/nearly-8-years-after-911-rush-tells-ny-to-drop-dead/

Conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh, who has been treated like a GOP leader since Obama's election, didn't mince words when it came to pontificating on a new New York tax plan which reportedly aims at the state's highest earners.

"Drop dead," the self-proclaimed "El Rushbo" wrote on Monday.

Newsmax reports, "Angered by a New York state plan to tax residents earning over $500,000 per year, conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh vowed Monday to sell all of his property and shut down his operations there and move them to Texas, a state with no income tax."

4. I thought he lived in Florida?
The general looniness of Florida seems more amenable to him, anyways.

5. Why do republicon draft dodgers like Rush hate America?
Edited on Tue Mar-31-09 01:55 PM by SpiralHawk
Is it because they get paid $40 million a year to spout republicon corporate propaganda?

6. I thought he was based in Florida

Where he broadcasts out of his home not as a perk, but because working at the local studio would require him to take a drug test.

Cue the DU "Cry Me A River" String Quartet!

Glad he appreciated his tenure.

8. What is it about the Republicans and New York?


Note that a twelve point drop in the market was a skid.

9. I'd love to see him off the air in NY
it makes absolutely no sense that one of the most progressive metro areas of the country has all kinds of Limpballs and Insanity, but no progressive talk.

WABC had one purpose, and that purpose ended in 2002 (to broadcast the Yankees)

11. Poor rush - it pains him so much to think on the fact that he pays more in taxes
every year than most of his listeners MAKE in a year.

Poor boy.

16. Hay, same to you, Rush. Here's hoping the door hits your double-wide
ass as you leave.

19. This confounds me. I thought Pigboy spewed his daily bile from a compound in FLA?
What operations does he have in NY?
