Rush Limbaugh: Named by Adweek as 'Radio Personality of the Decade'

I’m sure this announcement about conservative radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh will be yet another prickly burr under Obama’s anti-conservative-free-speech chaps… or a jelly fish under his ignore-the-airline-bomber Hawaiian vacation swim trunks… or something else that’s bound to be uncomfortable when lodged under his presidential briefs.

White House head honcho and Obama’s “Chicago puppet master” Rahm Emanuel is looking for more hapless fish to stab. Nancy Pelosi won’t have any comment, since Santa brought her more botox for Christmas and her frown lines are paralyzed, rendering her speechless for a few days. Harry Reid is recovering from selling his soul to the devil in order to ramrod ReidCare through the Senate on Christmas Eve morning.

Cringe-worthy news for liberals… Happy New Year: Adweek Names Rush Limbaugh “Radio Personality of the Decade.”

Well done, Rush. You’ve more than earned this honor for just this past year, let alone the entire decade.

The transcript below is available to all visitors to Limbaugh’s site for three weeks; it’s available to members of Rush Limbaugh’s 24/7 Club indefinitely.

Trade Magazine Names Rush Limbaugh “Radio Personality of the Decade”
Broadcast December 22, 2009, EIB Radio Network transcript

RUSH: Stop the music. Ladies and gentlemen, you are listening to me, Rush Limbaugh. You know that. This, the most recognizable media voice throughout the world. But this you should also know: “Rush Limbaugh has been named Radio Personality of the Decade by Adweek, a leading industry magazine and website.

In the December issue’s Best of the Decade feature, Adweek observed: ‘No radio host or personality comes close to Rush Limbaugh in size of audience or volume of political discourse. The man manages to stay in the headlines no matter who’s in the White House or who’s gunning for him.’”

And I did not have to pay anybody for that vote, for that award, folks. It came in over the transom last night. I didn’t even know about it until I was told by somebody else, but nevertheless thanks to Adweek, a leading, probably the leading industry magazine and website. I didn’t have to go to their dinner, either. I don’t know if they have a dinner. Normally when you get an award like this, you gotta go to their dinner and accept and make a speech or something.

Now, “Adweek also named Apple’s Steve Jobs as Marketer of the Decade, ‘The Sopranos’ the TV Show of the Decade, Rupert Murdoch the Media Executive of the Decade, YouTube the Website of the Decade, Wired the Magazine of the Decade, Apple the Brand of the Decade, Larry Page and Sergey Brin of Google the Media Entrepreneurs of the Decade,” and I, El Rushbo, the Radio Personality of the Decade.

Other pithy assorted quotes from Limbaugh during the month of December 2009:

“Health care will become the new third rail of politics, just like Social Security. They’ll say Republicans want to take your health care away. ”

“I think you all should keep flooding offices with phone calls, faxes, e-mails, and so forth, and do the rallies. They have helped. They have made a huge difference, they’ve delayed this. Remember, they wanted all this to happen in August.”

“It’s very simple, folks. When Barack Obama and the Democrats win, America loses. Big time.”

“This health care bill will destroy the country as you and I know it. It will destroy the greatest health care system in the world. This will forever change the relationship that you and I have with our doctors because the government’s going to be a very powerful middleman.”

“Movements take time to develop and the conservative movement, this one, after decades of neglect, is on the march. Conservatism is on the ascendancy.”

“I do think the American citizens and their anger is going to translate into some sort of citizen action.”

“I went and looked up a number of things that the Founding Fathers found outrageous and that were the tipping point for them, the things that caused them to rebel and found this country — and they were nothing compared to what is happening in this piece of legislation alone!”

“Harry Reid has written language saying many of the provisions in the bill cannot be repealed. This whole thing is un-American. It is unconstitutional, and it’s not time to be polite with this.”

“I still think there’s a chance for defectors somewhere along the line, and I think at some point they’re going to have to resort to a mechanism whereby they get 51 votes instead of 60. Because I think at some point in the Senate they’re not going to be able to get 60, and the House is a whole ‘nother ballgame.”

“It would only take one Democrat Senator out of 60 to object to this horrendous piece of legislation and it would die. Just one Democrat Senator out of 60 to show some integrity, show some courage. Nobody anywhere thinks it will happen. It’s not even being discussed. Now, what does that tell you about Democrats? And yet it is always the Republicans who are portrayed as closed-minded, walking in lockstep. What a laugh. We now see what walking in lockstep is really all about and we see what actually is important, and it’s not the country.”
