Funny, Dave in SoCal doesn’t ask Jay for any “links, cites or facts” to “back up his assertion” that “there’s still a ton of online news stories to read about” Rush Limbaugh’s legal issues surrounding his past drug problems.

Air America does suck, but liberal talk existed before AA and got ratings regionally but wasn’t picked up by the Clear Channels and Premieres of the world in the way that third and fourth tier con talkers are on a regular basis.

Any links, cites or facts to back up this assertion, or does this fall under the category of “Things-that-exist-only-in-Oliver’s-head-but-that-he-wishes-were-true”?

“…there’s still a ton of online news stories to read about it.”

Got any examples of this? I seriously doubt there’s a “ton of online news stories to read about” hte legal problems of Limbaugh that you (Jay) mentioned unless there have been some new developments.

Yes indeed. Elliot Spitzer sure was lucky he was a Democrat otherwise news of his sexual escapades wouldn’t have been limited to the local press in ALbany, New York. If he were a Republican it would have been a big news event covered by all the cable channels 24/7. Yeah he’s lucky he’s a dem.

Here I sit, chuckling at the notion that Rush Limbaugh’s drug issues weren’t big news, nor was his being detained at the airport with the Viagra. You guys must be smoking too much weed because your memories are shot. It happened nearly two years ago and there’s still a ton of online stories to read about it. Cripes.

Until very very recently liberal radio hosts were blocked from even the potential of such access.

I know this is a little off topic, but get over yourself. Oliver, liberal talk radio wasn’t blocked. Liberal talk radio didn’t make it because it SUCKED ASS. It’s a ratings game, nothing more. Air America was going to change all that and show the country how it could compete, remember? Right. It’s a joke. And why? Because it sucks.

What did Limbaugh, an unmarried man, need Viagra for in the child prostitution capital of the Western Hemisphere? It’s not like there was anyone for him to have sex with, since he was traveling alone.

I know, I mean the way the news railed on Limbaugh for weeks on end and demanded criminal investigations into why he was a prior drug offender caught with an illegal unprescribed bottle of Viagra on a trip to the child prostitution capital of the Western hemisphere…. oh, right.
