Rush Limbaugh (b. January 12, 1951) is washed-up sportscaster turned American radio propagandist who claims to be a conservative.   

Rush Limbaugh (b. January 12, 1951) is a conservative American radio talk show host.   

Limbaugh hosts a radio show as famed for its whiny and shrill denunciations of everything as it is for its wild and crazy misstatements of fact. He is often at odds with liberal Al Franken [http://www.http://fireside.designcommunity.com/topic-9993.html]. Limbaugh's vitriolic style has been credited with "reviving AM radio in the United States, protecting scandal ridden Republicants, and is considered by many to have been a catalyst for the Republican Party's 1994 Congressional victories" [http://www.http://select.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=F10813FA3B5D0C708EDDAB0894DE494D81&n=Top%2fReference%2fTimes%20Topics%2fPeople%2fL%2fLimbaugh%2c%20Rush].

Limbaugh underwent a minor scandal several years ago when his housekeeper was caught purchasing prescription medications, and it was revealed that Limbaugh was addicted to prescription drugs. He claims that he has been rehabilitated. More recently he was caught with a 'mislabeled' prescription for Viagra in his baggage while returning from a trip to the Dominican Republic that he took with 4 other men [http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/0706062rush1.html].  Mr. Limbaugh never went to prison.  This is ironic because Mr. Limbaugh has long said that drug users should be put into jail  ("And so if people are violating the law by doing drugs, they ought to be accused and they ought to be convicted and they ought to be sent up.") [http://www.fair.org/index.php?page=1159].

Another scandal occured when Limbaugh made a joke in which he allegedly referring to Chelsea Clinton as "the White House dog". Chelsea was thirteen at the time. Limbaugh, however denied that he was talking about Chelsea, stating that he was not making a joke, and Chelsea's picture was accidentally put up on the screen [http://www.motherjones.com/commentary/columns/1995/05/ivins.html].
