Every time his bloviation has less relevance and nobody is talking about him, he never fails to rejuvenate himself. And even more impressive, it always works. lol
So how did he do it this time? He got behind his "excellence in broadcasting" microphone, and said this...
1. 71 is too old to ride a bicycle
2. Exercise is only for young people
4. And when John Kerry goes on a bike ride at age 71, it can only be because he's "grandstanding".
Now all that by itself is not the whole shtick. You have to take it in context.
Firstly, Rush Limbaugh of course is not a poster boy for physical health. He's a fat slob.
Secondly, I remember when he had the Bush trio (W, HW and Jeb) on his radio show one day. They were in a restaurant in D.C. and on his show by remote. Let's put it this way. Rush came off as a bigger fanboy of the Bushes than the 50,000 screaming girls were at Shea Stadium for the first Beatles concert. He was literally gushing, especially when talking to Poppy Bush. Even Ronald Reagan woulda been jealous.
SO the question becomes, would Rush ever tell us Poppy Bush was too old to jump out of airplanes, let alone ride a sissy bicycle?
I think not. lol
But see this is not a slam on Rush. That thread title is totally sincere, no sarcasm.
Why? Because Rush himself knows about all that stuff I wrote in my last paragraph. Rush knew when he made these latest comments what the context is. He knows he'll be called on that.
But does he give a shit? Why should he? He also knows that old show biz axiom "there's no such thing as bad publicity". All the controversy just brings him more audience which makes him more money. But he's got all the money he'll ever need. The other motivation is he knows it will get the media to talking about him again. The thing he craves the most.

But the difference is...he's getting paid by advertisers.
