Rush Limbaugh Is Hot Under the Collar
—
Rush Limbaugh is worried. His anxiety might have something to do with his precipitous weight gain. Also, his speech patterns are showing stress. The normal enthusiastic, even jovial, oom-pa-pa of the instrument has become labored, dogged. It’s a hinge moment for the Limbaugh career. ...

Above Limbaugh’s Game
Oliver Willis — ... I’m not a big fan, but Michael Wolff nails what President Obama is doing by invoking Rush Limbaugh’s name. Like Rove, Rush is more hype than anything.
