LIMBAUGH LOVES TO SHIT ON THE LITTLE GUY

Rush Limbaugh, the Fat Anal Cyst, has never shown any concern about those who are going through rough times because of the recession, or as more wise people call it, depression.
He has never concerned himself with those who have lost their homes, or their jobs. That doesn't bother him in the least.

The other night the Fat Anal Cyst addressed the Presidents Club Dinner which is a meeting of wealthy donors and supporters of the Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank. He was bragging how the recession has had no effect on him, which it probably hasn't because of his $400 million contract with Clear Channel Communications. It has effected others who are, or were, employed by Clear Channel.

Let Them Eat Cake: Limbaugh Mocks Recession During Speech to Wealthy Right-Wing Donors

Rush Limbaugh came to Washington, D.C. to address the President’s Club Dinner, a meeting of wealthy donors and supporters of the Heritage Foundation. The audience included Supreme Court justice Clarence Thomas, Sen. Jim DeMint (R-SC), as well as various millionaire trustees of the Heritage Foundation, like Thomas Saunders.

After more or less reprising his radio show routine, Limbaugh went on to brag about his $400 million contract with Clear Channel Communications. As he continued to gloat about his show’s success, Limbaugh mocked the idea that Americans are suffering, noting, “I’ve never had financially a down year” despite the “supposed” recession:

LIMBAUGH: But during all this growth I haven’t lost any audience. I’ve never had financially a down year. There’s supposedly a recession, but we’ve got - what is this May? Back in February we already had 102% of 2008 overbooked for 2009. [applause] So I always believed that if we’re going to have a recession, just don’t participate. [laughter]

Listen here:

Limbaugh is no stranger to belittling the poor and dismissing the economic troubles of others. In March, Limbaugh scoffed at a question on homeless children, asking, “Would somebody tell me the last time you saw a kid sleeping under a bridge?”

As Media Matters reported, even Limbaugh’s employer Clear Channel is struggling under the weight of the recession. Already this year, Clear Channel has “shed nearly 3,000 employees, or 12 percent of its workforce.” While Limbaugh jets around the country in his $54 million Gulfstream G550, laughing off the recession, does he even realize that his own bloated contract is contributing to the rising unemployment rate?

Sounds to me like 3,000 employees of Clear Channel had to lose their jobs so the Fat Anal Cyst could get overpaid!
