Rush Limbaugh maintained his posture in the top tax bracket with his new Alex Rodriguez style, ten year contract. Even the Yankee's Third Baseman didn't get eight figures up front.
If the Fairness Doctrine gets reinstated, Rush will be locked into the new limitations on terrestrial radio, and he will suffer through each and every one of the stations that carry him finding six hours of Al Franken and his pals to counter him and the equal number that carry Sean Hannity. There will be enough station managers who tire of it and go to a music format to create some pain in Limbaugh's world.
Rush is not ignorant of this. I think he is taking the easy gamble that, like the fates of the vaunted Democrat "Six in 2006" agenda, nothing will come of the effort to resurrect. He knows that Reid and Pelosi couldn't find their butts with both hands on a sunny day, hence their 9% approval rating in the Rasmussen poll.
All hail the hard working Congress! Even Gingrich didn't have the cajones to call an empty Senate chamber to order and close it five minutes later every day, in order to prevent a President from making recess appointments.
