political commentator, radio host, college drop-out, alleged closet homosexual, and, as recently revealed,

synthetic heroin
drug addict, rush hudson limbaugh iii is probably the best known neocon personality in american radio.born
in cape girardeau, mo, in 1951, limbaugh spent many of his formative years pursuing a career in radio.after
using his - a congenital birth defect - to avoid military service in the vietnam war, limbaugh briefly worked
for radio stations in pittsburgh, pa and kansas city, mo. fired from both jobs, he worked as a wiener
salesman for the kc royals baseball franchise, eventually slithering back into the radio business.in 1971
limbaugh attended southeastern missouri university, where, according to reports, he had a brief but heated
affair with so gay is limbaugh, guarantees sanders, that, "none of his marriages was ever
consummated."many of limbaugh's fans staunchly deny the man's alleged
homosexuality, and limbaugh himself says the rumors are politically motivated lies. however, one is forced
to doubt limbaugh, who has a history of denying and balking at rumors that are later revealed to be true. his
pilonidal cyst, his pseudonymous career in pittsburgh radio, and his addiction to oxycontin are all facts
which limbaugh initially denied or concealed.after more failed stints with missouri radio stations limbaugh
moved to sacramento, ca, where he met and became "friends" with norm woodruff, a flamboyant, openly
gay man with a great deal of influence in the local radio scene. woodruff, who mentored limbaugh in the
ways of affluence and elitism (traits rush mocks today), would later died of aids.through his ties to
woodruff limbaugh was given morton downey, jr.'s spot on kfbk news talk 1530 a.m. within twelve months
limbaugh had become the most popular radio personality in sacramento. in 1988 he signed on with efm
media management, working from new york city.for a short while limbaugh plateaued, until the success
and enormous popularity of a democratic president provided him with a reason to whine.the popularity and
charisma of president clinton enabled limbaugh's hate-filled show to appeal to millions of bitter american
conservatives. limbaugh's unique combination of prevarication and histrionics provided a sense of unity for
otherwise incompatible demographics, such as klansmen and wall street stock brokers.for years limbaugh
fooled his audiences into believing his whining was something much more noble.by the mid-90's
limbaugh's promoters had co-opted his show to enough nationwide syndicates to claim limbaugh was the
"most popular radio personality" in the country. technically this was false. however, the free handout out of
limbaugh's show to any station that wanted it resulted in limbaugh being the most listened-to man on a.m.
radio.inspired by clinton-induced vitriol, limbaugh paid a ghostwriter to author for him see, i told you so
(1992), nanny nanny, boo boo (1993), and i'm rubber. you're glue. whatever you say bounces off me and
sticks to you (1994).after miserably failing on television, limbaugh spiraled into depression, eventually
becoming addicted to pain pills prescribed to him for his pilonidal cyst (a.k.a. "butt boil"). for nearly eight
years limbaugh abused hydrocodone, a synthetic,
stronger version of heroin.in effect, limbaugh spent nearly a decade stoned off his bleeding backside, and
ultimately built up his tolerance to levels requiring dozens of pills per day in order to, as limbaugh once
confided in his maid, "get my buzz on."a textbook example of the damning effects of drug abuse,
limbaugh's addiction precipitated a swift drop in weight, deafness in both ears, and a marked decline in
mental faculties. he also became increasingly paranoid - requiring his provider to meet him at night behind
restaurants, next to dumpsters, where he'd hand over cigar boxes stuffed with "cabbage" (cash) in exchange
for some "little baby blues" (pills). limbaugh's desperation peaked in 2003, when he groped his provider in
an attempt to check her for a wire tap.by late 2003 the whole world knew of limbaugh's drug addiction,
though by virtue of their lack of character the majority of his fan base remained loyal listeners. limbaugh's
show remained popular, despite the rapid rise of liberal talk show host al franken >and the dogged attempts
by the bush administration to shut down long time talk show staple howard
<http://www.howardstern.com/>stern in may 2004 rush's third wife, marta, grew tired of never having sex
with her allegedly closeted homosexual of a husband, and so asked for a divorce. limbaugh complied after
his desperate wife agreed to never reveal the true nature of rush's sexual perversion.
