Interesting. I am surprised I do not hear more about this place.
If it's twice what he normally has, then that amounts to about 8 million a day (I don't know much about his show, but I'm assuming here he works Mon-Fri). That's probably a fairly good number for radio, but hardly the popularity Yoni is pandering about. Furthermore, the fact that he doubled it because of a special occasion means that half of those listeners are basically casual.
Good, one less person that counts on the statistics.
Advertisers pay for popular shows that reach large audiences. If he had 10 regular listeners, then he wouldn't have the advertisers he has, and he wouldn't get the check he gets.
At least, unlike the imbd bio you linked, they quote their sources.
Yes, I'd say that's probably a given. However, I'm pretty happy with my life anyways.
I predicted the comeback; only it came a little sooner than I expected.

Didn't he already pay big silence bucks Jerkaldo Rivera style to get out of a scandalous Boi Club he was caught at?
saying taxes in this country are some sort of burden on the rich. Other than the 50 year period of 1930-1980, this country has always been set up to hurt the middle class and shift wealth towards the rich via deregulation and tax cuts. If Rush were to move to a real socialist country then he'd be in for a rude awakening about how much better paying taxes were for him in this country.
It wasn't your life on which you were commenting.Yes, I'd say that's probably a given. However, I'm pretty happy with my life anyways.
Clever.
Rush’s medical gotcha
Rush Limbaugh laid a trap when he said that he would get his medical treatment in Costa Rica if Obamacare passes.
The compassionate liberals at Think Progress typified the reaction: “Hate radio host Rush Limbaugh has been one of health care reform’s most vociferous opponents, warning that ‘human beings will die earlier than normal’ under the ‘freedom killing’ and ‘life threatening’ plan, and calling for it to be ‘aborted.’ Yesterday, Limbaugh put his money where his mouth is, saying that if health care passes and all his fears are realized, he’ll leave the country.”
A few liberals pointed out that Costa Rica has universal health care.
True.
But Chrissie Long of the Christian Science Monitor pointed out: “But Limbaugh’s choice may also serve to advertise what many Americans traveling here for medical treatment already know: Costa Rica is a fabulous place for medical tourism… But the Cadillac-style private hospitals at Chevy Aveo prices are what really draw 25,000 Americans to Costa Rica every year.”
Now I have pointed out medical tourism is the coming wave.
Obamacare will push that by driving down compensation to doctotrs.
That means Filipino, Indian and other foreign doctors will stay home, set up shop and rich Americans will come to them.
For the rest of us? Welcome to Zimbabwe.
Thank you, Rush, for pointing that out.
Don't doctors in Costa Rica make less?Now I have pointed out medical tourism is the coming wave.
Obamacare will push that by driving down compensation to doctotrs.
Like Medical Tourism doesn't already happen...
good find yoni. prepare for this to be marginalized, instead of it's merits discussed.
so some blogger 'thinks' she knows what rush is trying to do and it's a gotcha?
let's debate the merits of some right wing blogger's opinion..
Wealthy people who can afford US medical care do.
People who face the difficulty or the impossibility of affording US medical, with usurious medical financing, impoverishment, bankruptcy, the homelessness of "de facto" "death panel" of profit-health care, are the ones who shop for cheaper care outside of US.
Sorber is the typical right-wing , like Yoni and SnC, who probably knows the score, but insists on lying about it.
The practice of medicine is so expensive to obtain (years of debt of 100s $K) and so unrewarding (a significant percentage of doctors say they wouldn't do medicine again) that US has to import foreign doctors, foreign nurses, etc. and now still suffers from an serious shortage of general prac ioners, esp in rural areas.
What's Sorber/Yoni/SnC's alternative to the current refrom plan? Jeez, I really hate to put you -throwing monkeys on the spot.
Of course, you have first-hand knowledge of every position you post, right?so some blogger 'thinks' she knows what rush is trying to do and it's a gotcha?
let's debate the merits of some right wing blogger's opinion..
You discuss health with the President before posting an opinion, I'm sure. We all wish we had access like you!
The blogger makes a sound and reasonable argument. Agree or disagree -- on the merits of the proposition -- but showing your ass is just pure entertainment and doesn't advance the debate a bit.
so let's see..you want me to buy into a biased blogger's opinionated argument and assumptions to justify rush's statement..and I'm the ass.. Ok Yoni....
Go find me a poll Yoni..
And I originally wasn't commenting on the number of people listening or reading my thoughts, was I?
Cmon Yoni, let's keep up, shall we?
We're finally rid of Rush!
Huh?
Come again? Is there an update?
I'm being sarcastic, WH. :P
( stolidly and deliberately drinking his bubbly)
Rush is like the president of the confederate states of america.
Alright I am a PT Assistant and I make around $39k. Since this bill has passed, how deep are you all gonna go to take my money? Since there is money to be saved from Medicare, where I get my salary. I'm contemplating the fact that you all don't know how much of a devastating choice this was. On another note, why aren't your congress men and women in this health care plan? It's free right? Don't they trust this Health Care plan?
