Description

Rush Limbaugh is a way of life for over twelve million avid and devoted listeners. For three hours every day this comic conservative of the airwaves with "talent on loan from God" entertains, provokes and persuades friend sand enemies alike in a no-holds-barred show that is one of the biggest draws in radio history. Using personal anecdotes, Limbaugh now reveals the major influences on his life and views, and blasts off on all the leading issues of our day. Nothing escapes his acerbic wit and huggable charm as he proves why he is on the cutting edge of societal evolution and the epitome of morality and virtue. Here he holds forth on such subjects as: Anita Hill, The Homeless Fraud, The Media, and many others. Tackling the hottest topics of the times from Feminazis to Environmentalist Wackos, Rush Limbaugh is at his satirical best---the provocative conservative and the showman who is "documented to be almost always right 97.9% of the time" about The Way Things Ought To Be.… (more)

Typically Limbaugh. Pompous, egotistical and completely tongue-in-cheek.

Clear statements of Limbaugh's positions on politics and the culture wars circa 1991. Advocacy for the re-election campaign of George H.W. Bush (senior), ultimately disappointed by Clinton's election (unforeseen in this volume). Almost all of the commentary and factual information could be

transferred to 2008 with only a few names and details changed.

This book is from a pre-Clinton era, so Rush does not spend any time discussing Bubba; that alone could take a few volumes from the syndicated talk show host. For us regular listeners, this provides a great look back at his show and stories which have been long forgotten history. For those

unfamiliar with him, he expounds upon his philosophy, provides "behind the scenes" facts about him and his always controversial opinions.

I had read this book in 1992 and in 2017 thought it was time to reread this book. The problem I have with this book, and it is a big problem, is that he claims many things but cite nothing. Then on page 216 he asks, why the media don't ask Ted Danson to cite his sources, when Rush fails to do so

throughout his book. On page 270 is another episode where citing an issue becomes a problem. He is insightful and interesting but he does repeat a lot of idea and thoughts throughout the book.
