Remember when Rush Limbaugh said the high taxes of New York were forcing him to leave? Well… he didn’t. Shocker.

You would think that out of his millions of fans and with all his money, there would be at least one woman enamored enough or enough of a whore to share the mansion, fly on the private jet to the world’s great golf courses, wear big diamonds, drink $500 bottles of wine with breakfast, and hang out with ex-presidents and other famous conservatives.
But you would be wrong.
In related news, Tim Geithner has yet to move to Washington.
SF, you really don’t understand anything other than “Look over there,” do you? Reading your comments is a bit like watching a mental patient hold forth in a logic class. Entertaining for a while, but then you realize the guy will never shut up and never make an intelligent point.
It’s not ‘Look over there’, Mike. How quickly can anyone pick and move anytime, much less in this market. Especially a guy with a radio show and a staff involved. The guy at Gawker that wrote this is just being an idiot and writing about something that just popped in his head and that his only research into the story was a call to the Doctor of Democracy’s office that got no return call.
Big story here. Can’t wait for the follow-up.
It’s easier to score drugs in the city, so Rush is probably happier where he is.
Probably more access to young dominican boys, too
Oh Rush will get right to moving, but Britney-Dennis isn’t finished giving him a deluxe tongue bath. Britney-Dennis is still thrilled that Rush had the balls to take on that big liar Michael J. Fox.
Meh. You mean it’s all an act? I’m shocked.
It’s not ‘Look over there’, Mike. How quickly can anyone pick and move anytime, much less in this market. Especially a guy with a radio show and a staff involved.
Save, Dennis, Tim Geithner has moved to Washington. Did neither of you read the story? He doesn’t live in the house any more and is actually renting it to tenants. This was all discoverable to the press because Geithner actually put his home on the market.
Now Dennis, you’ve just made an excuse for Limbaugh, “oh it’s hard to up and move, just like that.” Can we assume then that you believe Limbaugh will still be leaving New York as he stated?
…
That was three years ago. At least that’s a hell of a lot more current than the urban legend bogus birther-like accusation you can’t provide any evidence for from 40 freakin’ years ago.
This man must have made some serious emotional scars on your psyche, Indeed. You need to either get past him or learn to appreciate his awesomeness.
Drug addicted racists need to stick together!
WOLVERINES!!!
You’re working much to hard to foil me, fafaroo. It is a noble venture on your part and I’m sure it’s like a sudoku puzzle you’ve managed to make some headway on but can’t quite seem to complete it, so you just keep plugging away at it. It’s admirable.
We can assume that the fact Limbaugh has not moved means absolutely nothing, and we can assume this story is the type of story that you’d only be likely to see on the blog of some place like Gawker, from someone you’ve never heard of, who has little else to write about save for something that just popped in his head one day. Nothing more.
This is a liberal blog, Jaimie. Talking about Barack Obama like that makes you look like a troll.
So he has a place in Manhattan? Big deal. If I have a place in Cabo does that mean I’m Mexican?
I’ll wager that he’s incorporated in Florida. Which is what really counts.
This man must have made some serious emotional scars on your psyche, Indeed.
No, just on the nation.
This is a liberal blog, Jaimie. Talking about Barack Obama like that makes you look like a troll.
Are you almost done? I know you think you’re being cute and funny and all that, but…Sadly no.
I’ll wager that he’s incorporated in Florida.
He’s certainly large enough.

another all talk, no action con
We can assume that the fact Limbaugh has not moved means absolutely nothing …”
And how long do you expect this to be maintaining this position, Dennis? Limbaugh could be in New York for a long time to come.
How quickly can anyone pick and move anytime, much less in this market.
For instance, one would imagine that the first step to picking up and moving in this market would be to actually, you now, put your house on the market. Correct?
I imagine we’ll be coming back to it on a weekly basis now, fafaroo, now that you think you might’ve drawn blood.
And seriously, fafaroo, do you or the Gawker gawker know anything about what kind of contracts are in place for him in New York? Leases for his studio, where he lives, his employees situations…any of about a million things he’d need to do before he was able to call the movers and head the hell out of Dodge? We’re talking about an institution here, not just one guy who lives in an apartment that he can just sublet by posting a notice out on a telephone pole outside on his street.
We can assume that the fact Limbaugh has not moved means absolutely nothing …”
to be fair, I agree. Just like when Alec Baldwin said he would move if W. was re-elected.
BFD.
We’re talking about an institution here,
He’s certainly large enough.
http://instantrimshot.com/
Boom!
And seriously, fafaroo, do you or the Gawker gawker know anything about what kind of contracts are in place for him in New York?
I don’t know, Dennis, did Limbaugh know when he announced to the world almost five months ago that he was packing up and leaving?
Keep dancing, Dennis. I hope you can keep it up.
That was three years ago.
And you’re still giving him a tongue bath! That’s devotion! Is Michael J. Fox still a stupid liar? Why are you unable to answer that one? Rush got your tongue?
At least that’s a hell of a lot more current than the urban legend bogus birther-like accusation you can’t provide any evidence for from 40 freakin’ years ago.
Yeah, those birthers (i.e., the Republican Base) sure are nuts. Which urban legends are you referring to? The ones from

and many, many more?
Maybe they’re all in some all-powerful urban legend league. Sounds nefarious.
Oh, hey, while you’re giving Rushy another deluxe tongue bath, look out for pilonidal cysts on his ass. That could get nasty(er).
Just what is it about this all-around good guy that drives you people insane like he does? And by you people I mean you people.
Just what is it about this all-around good guy that drives you people insane like he does? And by you people I mean you people.
Who’s insane? I just want some answers? To simple questions. That’s all.
Just what is it about this all-around good guy that drives you people insane like he does?
Why do you feel the need to defend him?
And by you people I mean you people.
Nice. haven’t heard that one before.
Why do you feel the need to defend him?
Denny’s going WAY beyond defending him. It’s getting to the point where throwing himself on a grenade for Rushie would be the least he could do.
All-around good guy? Doctor of Democracy?
Tigger, please.
Doggone it, fafaroo, because he’s a harmless, lovable little fuzz ball, a highly-trained broadcast specialist, having more fun than a human being should be allowed to have, from behind the golden EIB microphone, firmly ensconced in the prestigious Attila-the-Hun chair at the Limbaugh Institute of Advanced Conservative Studies, serving humanity simply by showing up, and he’s not retiring until every American agrees with him, do NOT doubt him, with shrieks of joy at the mere mention of his name, the Mandarin of Talk Radio, with talent on loan from God, at the cutting-edge of societal evolution, with half his brain tied behind his back — just to make it fair, the all-knowing, all-caring, all-sensing, all-feeling, all-concerned Maha-Rushie! America’s anchorman, truth detector, and doctor of democracy. A Real Man, a living legend, a way of life. Commander in Chief of U.S. Operation Chaos. Chief Waga-Waga El Rushbo of the El Conservo Tribe. Chief of the Patriotism Police. Leader of the Conservative Movement. A Weapon of Mass Instruction. El Rushbo. He is the man who is running America (you know it and I know it). He knows the Democrats like every square inch of his glorious naked body. He is ready to do what he was born to do—that’s host. Get ready to do what you were born to do—that’s listen.
I thought I told you that yesterday.
Shorter Denny: Raymond Shaw is the kindest, gentlest, most generous man I have ever met. How about some Solitaire?
Tigger, please.
Oh, I’m sorry Denny. Was that hypocritical or racist against large stuffed cats?
You took the time to write that and call us obsessed? Check.
I’m sure he has it memorized. Just like Frank Sinatra in the Manchurian Candidate.
Wow, Dennis. You’re entering into Mark David Chapman territory there. Are you that smitten to live vicariously through another human? Rush gives you all that and more.
Scary shit there, folks. That really got your engine revved up.
Dennis, as with the Rush Limbaugh Republicans, is essentially a child. He loves to dish it out, but he can’t take it. And he lacks a basic level of empathy, a key difference between liberals and conservatives.
Call him out on Rush Limbaugh’s many irredeemably obscene transgressions, and he pretends it isn’t true or pretends to ignore the issue or desperately tries to change the subject. Like a child would.
Dennis asks, Just what is it about this all-around good guy that drives you people insane like he does?
I think I can virtually speak for a good number of Reality Based Liberals when I virtually say that we are bothered by Rush. We are bothered by overt racism and race baiting (in a childlike fashion, it bears noting) (e.g., “Take that bone out of your nose and call me back!”); sexism (”feminazis”); cruel, childlike demeaning of innocent children (”Chelsea’s the family dog–get it!”); cruel, childlike mocking of people with horrible diseases (the Michael J. Fox Situation); making fun of the homeless (”Homeless updates!”); calling U.S. soldiers who do not share his worldview “phony soldiers,” making fun of American Indians (”Indian updates”), and countless other, well documented examples of extreme douchebaggery.
We do not care for any of this, and that’s why Dennis and his ilk like Rush. That’s it, that’s all. It’s all a game to them. If it bothers Reality Based Liberals, then it must be good. This explains Rush Limbaugh and the other Right Wing Shock Jocks (Coulter, Savage, Hannity, O’Reilly, et al). Dennis likes the childlike affirmation and his childlike lack of empathy makes it all the easier to buy in.
The irreplaceable David Neiwert (http://dneiwert.blogspot.com/) has tirelessly researched this quite unfortunate phenomenon (http://dneiwert.blogspot.com/Rush%20Newspeak%20%20Fascism.pdf). (When confronted with the specter of Neiwert recently in these pages, Dennis made no attempt at any sort of coherent rebuttal, but lashed out at Neiwert in a childlike ad hominem attack.) And in this very thread, when confronted with much of the Rush awfulness noted in this comment, he reverted to childlike form with an homage more suited to Tiger Beat (I like to call it a “tongue bath” because of its wildly fawning nature, and because it’s funny).
So keep on keeping on playing your game Dennis. Keep trying to change the subject. Keep pretending that you have the facts on your side (”it’s urban legend!”). We’ll keep mocking you. But we know that you know that your heroes are the worst sort of douchebags, who make Father Coughlin look like a piker. And we know that you are a child.
Rush Limbaugh is a racist drug-addict, but he’s also been a gift thrown into the lap of Democrats. As long as he sticks around, he marginalizes the GOP by making it the party of racist drug-addicted pedophiles, and he keeps the GOP in the 30% ghetto.
This is a good thing, although it comes at the expense of having to hear him make racist cracks about twice a week.
On the whole, a good thing for America, since he ensures that the moderate and independent voters that the GOP so desperately needs will never align themselves with him.
Rahm Emmanuel played your party for the suckers that they are. I’m surprised he hasn’t gotten more credit for hatching the “Rush = GOP Leader” meme.
Indeed-
You’re another one here that seems to be working too hard to foil me but not working smart at it, and you’re flailing like the rest of them.
1) Your link to Neiwert didn’t work. A good metaphor for him, and a good one for your blathering too. Did you even buy his book to help him out? One book sale might move him up from #2,973 on Amazon to, who know, maybe #2,970. You might learn something by reading, too.
2) Any link for the bone out of your nose comment? No? Still working on it, or do other charges you’ve moved on to imply some sort of guilt in your urban legend?
3) Any video of the Chelsea Clinton incident to determine exactly what happened and whether it was a mistake, as it would have to have been as Molly Ivins first reported on it several years later when she gave a date that would be impossible to have happened in, or Al Franken’s later version, where he changed her date? Seems odd no one can get this right, but you take whatever version works and repeat it without knowing boo about it.
4) Sexism? Every day someone writes something sexist here. Never bothers you. Calling mentally disable people, ‘fucking retards’…doesn’t phase you. Fat white people? Indeed no where in site.
5)
Phony soldiers? Another case where you have to piece together and stretch things to make a phony case, and this one being precious because it called out and embarrassed Dems to no end for the weanie frauds they are. As soon as Limbaugh donated $4.2mm to the Marines fund Harry Reid starting talking about how great the controversy had been to generate these funds, like he was responsible for Rush’s $4.2mm donation. This is how the Harry Reid Dems roll. The Senate Resolution, how’d that one work out for ya, Indeed.
If you want to help liberals, Indeed, go buy one of their books.
You’re another one here that seems to be working too hard to foil me but not working smart at it, and you’re flailing like the rest of them.
Shorter Dennis: I know you are, but what am I. Childlike.

So no explanation as to why the link to Neiwert didn’t work. Not a single argument (of any sort) to refute Mr. Neiwert. Just a diversionary attempt. What does buying his book have to do with the substance at hand?
2) Any link for the bone out of your nose comment? No? Still working on it, or do other charges you’ve moved on to imply some sort of guilt in your urban legend?
How about the dozens of other links I provided? I suppose those are fake too. Still no comment on those? Urban legend are they?
3) Any video of the Chelsea Clinton incident to determine exactly what happened and whether it was a mistake, as it would have to have been as Molly Ivins first reported on it several years later when she gave a date that would be impossible to have happened in, or Al Franken’s later version, where he changed her date? Seems odd no one can get this right, but you take whatever version works and repeat it without knowing boo about it.
What the hell are you blabbering about? Are you really suggesting this never happened?
4) Sexism? Every day someone writes something sexist here. Never bothers you. Calling mentally disable people, ‘fucking retards’…doesn’t phase you. Fat white people? Indeed no where in site.
When have I ever turned any of those phrases? Please enlighten me. And what does that have to do with your idol, Rush Limbaugh? If any of what you write in #4 were remotely true (and it isn’t), how would it be relevant? If someone else says it, that makes it OK for your hero to do it? Good grief, I hope you never become a parent. (And what a wonderful example Rush Limbaugh is to parents and children everywhere. I love it when he does “Black Speak”. What a wonderful American.)
5)Phony soldiers? Another case where you have to piece together and stretch things to make a phony case, and this one being precious because it called out and embarrassed Dems to no end for the weanie frauds they are.

This is how the Harry Reid Dems roll. The Senate Resolution, how’d that one work out for ya, Indeed.
Keep digging. Keep pretending that never happened. Childlike.
You took some time to respond. But still no comment on cruelly mocking Michael J. Fox. Did that never happen either? How about mocking the homeless? American Indians? Anything else I noted in my long comment above.
Wow, Dennis. You’re entering into Mark David Chapman territory there.
And/or Dennis’s ideological compadre, Jim David Adkisson.
Et tu? That phrase is overused, trite, and childlike itself. You are working too hard at it.
No. It was your link. Why should I look in to why it didn’t work. I know enough about the enormous waste of time that dude puts into criticizing other people’s work. Right now he’s probably at home going over last night’s Glenn Beck program for the fifteenth time. It’s no wonder you look up to him.
This is how you are much like a birther, a 9/11 truther, a Kennedy conspiracy theorist, and a Andy Sullivan Trig Truther, Indeed. For every refutation and complete debunking of your wild-ass accusations that you have nothing more than hearsay from anonymous sources for, you come back with something else. Nothing will satisfy you. This is the very definition of a left-wing loon urban legend conspiracy nut. You are that person.
I’m suggesting no one knows what really happened. You repeat it as if it is true and happened the way you want to believe it have happened. You don’t know. Molly Ivins didn’t knw, she botched all kinds of details. Nutcase failed comedian Al Franken didn’t know, he had to change details to a different date to make the ‘joke’ appear logically and temporally correct. You don’t know, you just repeat what other people who repeat what one of those two wrote, and those two conflict each other. Ergo, you are a Rush Limbaugh urban legend truther.
QED
As to the rest, they were never anything I’ve ever argued about Limbaugh. You just bring them up as part of your, “Oh yeah, well maybe that wasn’t true, but what about….. It will never stop with you or those of your ilk. It’s futile to respond. You’re like Jason in Friday 13th, you keep coming back. Only Jason is much smarter than you are.
Shorter Dennis: “I’ll bite your legs off!”
You’re another one here that seems to be working too hard to foil me but not working smart at it, and you’re flailing like the rest of them.
Yes, Dennis. It’s all about you.
In the end, dearest fafaroo, this is not about me at all.
That phrase is overused, trite, and childlike itself.
So is “No shit, Sherlock,” but I used it as an illustrative example. Or didn’t you catch that?
For every refutation and complete debunking of your wild-ass accusations that you have nothing more than hearsay from anonymous sources for, you come back with something else.
Now now, I gave you a list of, what, a dozen sources. Go back and check it out. They weren’t anonymous, and you know it. You’re ignoring this. But nice try.
Did the other David Neiwert link work? Did he get anything wrong, besides predict with incredible prescience, people like you and Jim David Adkisson.
No word on Michael J. Fox? Still?
Ergo, you are a Rush Limbaugh urban legend truther.
Because you said so! How childlike. Does it help to stamp your feet?
As to the rest, they were never anything I’ve ever argued about Limbaugh.
So they never happened? Do you merely block out the nasty, cruel stuff because it tarnished the image of your idol? You said he was the most awesomest person evar. How…sad.
Do you get tired of tongue-bathing Rush Limbaugh?
It’s futile to respond.
Then why do you keep responding…but only to cherry picked issues? Sorry, Britney, you made your bed, now you have to sleep in it.
They prove your wide-eyed zealotry to truther conspiracy theories.
You’ll believe anything that anyone throws out on the internet, and solid proof is solid proof, Indeed the Truther.
Your nuttiness is now certified.
Your nuttiness is now certified.
Is Michael J. Fox a liar?
The funny thing is that it’s not hard for Rush to move. He doesn’t live in NYC. He just does his show there on occasion out of personal preference. If it were that important for him not to do his show from NYC, he could simply stop going there and do his shows from his other locations.
