Just saying the name Rush Limbaugh evokes a reaction--both positive and negative. That's politics. But for us media types I would hope we would have the good sense to separate our individual political feelings and consider what Limbaugh means and represents for our industry.
Rush was on the Today show today and he will be back on tomorrow morning for another segment. If you missed it I thought I would post a few clips.
Like so many of us, Rush wanted to be on the radio since he was very young:
Despite claims to the contrary, I believe Rush when he says, "it's all about the ratings."
He is the master of PR.
Rush is one of radio's best ambassadors. Whether you agree with his politics or not, we should all agree he is one of the mediums leaders--damn proud to have him.
If you missed the first full segment this morning, here it is.
