Rush Limbaugh (born January 12, 1951) is a conservative American radio talk show host.
Limbaugh hosts a radio show famed for its blustery denounciations of anything liberal. He is often at odds with liberal activist Al Franken[1]. He habitually refers to feminists as feminazis and to his own self as "talent on loan from God".
Limbaugh's style has been credited with "reviving AM radio in the United States, and is considered by many to have been a catalyst for the Republican Party's 1994 Congressional victories"[2]. Rush's conservative talk show is nationally syndicated and averages over 13.5 million listeners weekly, making Rush the '#1 Radio Talk Show Host'.[3]
The Limbaugh Letter is a monthly publication that contains conservative articles and humor in Rush's style.
Rush has displayed his ability for biting conservative satire on the 1/2 Hour News Hour "comedy" show on the Fox News Channel. [4]
In 2007, Limbaugh was nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize by conservative talk show host Mark Levin. It is not clear if the Prize Committee has accepted the nomination.
