Somebody's Smoking Crack

From Philly.com:
It's no fluke, but maybe the end of an error in American media:
The Rush Limbaugh Program is considering ending its affiliation agreement with Cumulus Media at the end of this year, a move that would bring about one of the biggest shakeups in talk radio history, a source close to the show tells POLITICO....
Indeed, Limbaugh's fall here is so epic that he may be taking down the entire industry; many advertisers have been adverse now to running their spots on any kind of talk show (which is unfortunate, and is unfair to decent conservatives who -- unlike Limbaugh -- wouldn't dream of calling someone a "slut" because they disagreed with her). The irony is that Limbaugh could avoided a lot of this with a sincere apology, but just like in most Greek tragedies, hubris is always the greatest of the tragic flaws.
Also, the fact that stations even stick with Limbaugh at this point reminds me a lot of those GOP and pseudo-Democrats sticking with the NRA on background checks, and now paying the price in diminished popularlity. I guess some folks never learn...until it's too late.  http://www.philly.com/philly/blogs/attytood/Rush-Limbaughs-world-is-imploding-.html
This piece was written by some guy named Will Bunch.
I guess being the number 1 rated radio show in the country and in most cities apparently means epic failure in the crack addled mind of Will Bunch, if that is his real name.
And I suppose Bunch thinks Obama has been a smashing success.
But when you are a jealous writer who wants headlines, you write things like this.
And this comes from someone who doesn't even listen to Limbaugh.
