One side effect of the Democratic campaign against Rush Limbaugh has been to increase -- dramatically increase -- the talk show host's ratings. This morning I asked Rush if he had any numbers he could share on just what effect the increased visibility has had on his business. This is his response:
The latest numbers I have are for January, well before this kerfuffle began, and they are through the roof -- six shares in NY, for example. There are daily ratings taken now in about the top 15 markets but I have not seen them yet. All I can tell you is that as of January, we booked 80 percent of all our 2008 revenue and we'll be over 2008 by the end of this month.
Given those numbers, it's clear that the most decisive economic stimulus produced by the Obama administration so far has been at the Excellence in Broadcasting Network.
The Exlax in Broadcasting Network gets listened to so that liberals know what they are dealing with, not because they enjoy that diarhea mouth known as Rush.

@gungasnake,
Let's add him to the list of such media giants as Geraldo Rivera, Jerry Springer, and Howard Stern.

Dems give up on anti-rush crusade at least temporarily:
