They said the same thing when Bill Clinton was elected President.

We are all worth whatever we can get for ourselves. Most of us balance how we see ourselves and what we are willing to do against the desire for $$, respect , security(mostly false security) and cool stuff to show our friends. The question is what we are willing to give up to get that big paycheck.
Rush is a tool, a shovel for the right, but he deserves whatever he can make. Thats how it works.
Another thing people....if you want to be rich, you must work for yourself. If you dont own part of what you do, you will almost never achieve true wealth. Thats also how it works.
Rush is proof that cherry picking hypocrites who think thier shit dont stink can make it big if they work hard and kiss the right asses.

It is call the free market.  Same reason Air America is not on the air anymore.

Communism is evil

Oh no, RZ...wrong again?  Aaahhhhhhh

Same reason Air America is not on the air anymore.

“If a conservative is still a republican after the last 13 years, he is blind to the fact that his party of choice has failed him utterly.” – Realitybasedbob

So, boob, why is Air America in a death spiral? Enlighten us.

And yes, going from 118 affiliates to 19 is a death spiral.

The point is not how much he will be paid. It is how much revenue he will generate for them. His salary is a small fraction of that amount.

Why do you want to put union labor bosses and their buddies in the mob out of their jobs?

The Radio Equalizer reports that Air America’s national listener share is so low - .02 - as to be statistically unmeasurable, with 50% of it’s audience coming from one affiliate station.

Probably one of those offshore, pirate radio stations.

For any voter trying to choose between the two candidates for commander in chief, there is no better test than this: When American strategy in a critical theater was up for grabs, John McCain proposed a highly unpopular and risky path, which he accurately predicted could lead to success. Barack Obama proposed a popular and politically safe route that would have led to an unnecessary and debilitating American defeat at the hands of al Qaeda.

Congratulations Rush, your story is an American Story. From earning 12K as an assistant to the Royals marketing team twenty five years ago to $50,000,000 a year now by giving the American people what they want, conservative commentary with a good dose of satire and comedy. Your an amazing talent that reaches more people in 30 minutes of airtime than Air America managed to reach in its entire history. Much continued success El Rushbo!

Hell, even Laura Ingraham admits that the republicans are hurting and that the country is moving left.  She admitted that today on the radio that republicanism as we know it is dying a slow death.

Why act so surprised?  Fewer Americans are identifying themselves as Republicans and Obama with his speeches on faith is filling in the vaccum.  That fact has even got Laura worried.

You guys are out in right field, playing with yourselves.

boob, going from 118 to 19 stations is a death spiral.

sanni, care to prove any of that?

Rush was what kept me going during the Clinton years.  We need him as much as ever now.

Some commenters remind me of attempts at redefinition of is, and wordspeak.  They also attempt false comparisons and moral equivalencies that are worlds apart.  Let me be clear.  Coming from a statistical background, the insignificant number is less than 1%.  I guess some would argue that if a failed, orphanage money stealing organization hid in a streaming internet location, they would be “on the air”.  Their listenership is more deviate than female homosexuality which is about 1% but hollywood makes it like normal ( 1/2 Standard Deviation from the mean).  Similar to the 10 national cases of rape by opposite race on African-Americans which is about .001 %.  Liberals, however attempt to paint a disgusting, false motive behind people who were not even present during allegations of rape.  The case of Duke University comes to mind and will forever be a cause to correct these lies.

CNBC has no basis to decide what the free market chooses to listen to or what their “for profit” station decides to pay their employees.  PBS, however is on welfare.  Their employees should and could come under the review of every taxpaying citizen of the US.

Oh, and just to correct all you learned gentlemen, it’s:

Err America

Heh.

In our economic system, things are worth what people are willing to pay for them.  End of story.

Leftie political philosophy, from a DU commenter:

It doesn’t matter if it’s true or not. RUMOR IS TRUTH. The modern laws of media hype and political warfare have a useful tenet: Repeat ANYTHING or raise false concern over ANYTHING and it is likely to be planted in the conscious/subconscious of many voters.

So what is 50% of .02 anyway? Wouldn’t that be equal to Hannitized and his left palm buddy realitybasedbob
listening to the same radio show?
