More interesting survey results: Not only do more people listen to him when he’s not talking, but a much larger percentage of people listen to him when he’s on a different radio station than the one they’re listening to….

All talk radio is a form of brainwashing. Listeners of the Limbaugh show have no ability to think for themselves and spout Limbaugh’s words when talking.

1 – he’s just lucky to have lots of ahtlete’s foot and hemorrhoid sufferers as his “listener base”.

A Rush fan convention would smell exactly like medicated ass.

It doesn’t matter at all, Limballs is still a complete @sshole if he is talking or not talking.

What’s puzzling is that if people are tuning into the commercials so as to “not miss the next segment,” why do the ratings go down when Rush starts talking?

Not really that puzzling most people of above average intellect would rather listen to anything but ole’ Oxycontin!

what’s really puzzling me is how this even merited posting?!?!? It’s a NON-story. 0.18% ? really, who cares? Where’s the Hillary can’t tell the truth threads? or the Penn stepdown/fired threads?

I don’t think this is all that big a story — I suspect that most fans of any radio program will tune in at the top and bottom of the hour so as not to miss the show, and if that’s when Rush’s commercials air, this would make his commercials most listened to.

#5, that’s because apparently he’s not actually stepping down. He’s just losing his “campaign strategist” title.

Still a lot more than Air America. Well over the 400 listener mark.

McWars – “Drink more Ovaltine.” Or in Limbaugh’s case, “Drink more Kool-Aid.”

listening to those viagra/cialis commercials reminds the dittoheads of what manly men they could be for just the price of a little blue pill….

Also in the study:

Percent of Limbaugh listeners likely to breathe through the mouth and/or drag their knuckles: 100.

bandaid should run commercials during his show for all the knuckle bleeders.
