[BITList] Fwd: Fw: radio caller, a must listen

[CT's]

could be, dave

this place has more loonies per square mile than anywhere else in the world.

the interesting thing is that talking heads on radio and tv can make lots of money catering to which every loony lot they care to pander to.

for example - rush limbaugh is the voice of the loony right [you can see his act on youtube]. he tried  a tv show but  couldn't make it., but I have just found the following on the web....

According to a book entitled "Bias" by Bernard Goldberg, Rush Limbaugh signed a contract in 2001 for $297 million dollars to broadcast through summer 2009, which would make the answer, $33 million per year. 
This, of course, does not include any additional money he is paid for speaking engagments, book residuals, or earnings in the stock market.

(In addition to previous answer: Limbaugh and Clear Channel signed an eight-year, $300,000,000 contract extension in August 2008, worth about $37.5 million per year.)

Parade Magazine states that Rush Limbrough made 34 million dollars for 2008.

limbaugh got married last month in hawaii and reportedly paid elton john $1,000,000 to sing/perform at the wedding.

now, if any normal, sane person listens to limbaugh the only possible conclusion to be reached is that the man is certifiable..........................yet millions lap it up.

obviously not many make this kind of money, but every city has a local nut, who makes a fair living trotting irresponsible nonsense.

just part of the rich panoply of life in these united states, where ignorance is bliss........................................................HELP.
