Rush Limbaugh Terminated

Earlier in the month we saw conservatives denounce Ann Coulter. Will Rush Limbaugh suffer the same fate? Once considered the spokesman for conservativism, he must now feel like he is being pursued by a cyborg from the future. Limbaugh tried to take on Arnold Schwarzenegger, but Arnold struck back on the Today Show.

Rush Limbaugh recently attacked Schwarzenegger on his show, including calling him a “closet liberal.”

“I don’t know what happened to Arnold,” the conservative talker said on his radio show. “He obviously didn’t have the leadership skills to articulate conservative principles and win over the public as Reagan did.”

Schwarzenneger responded by saying, “Limbaugh is irrelevant.” He also said, “I’m not his servant. I am the people’s servant of California.”

Some say that an attack by a prominent Republican means that Limbaugh’s days as a major conservative spokesman are over. Other say his power has always been a myth, or perhaps a fantasy fueled by an OxyContin high.

“For all of his power and all of his fame, Rush Limbaugh, during his ascent in the ’90s, bashing Bill Clinton on a daily basis, hours on the radio every day coast to coast, was not able to un-elect Bill Clinton,” said Michael Harrison of Talkers Magazine, a trade magazine for talk radio.
