"Thanks to Oxycontin, I've lost over 100 pounds!"-- Rush Limbaugh, disgraced radio entertainer and mansiere candidate
If you got in your car Monday and thought it smelled bad, it was just your radio stinking-- Rush Limbaugh was back on the air after over a month in rehab. Even if you thought he sounded shaky before, it was still surprising to hear how jittery and unhinged he was during the first few minutes of his return. His message boiled down to this: Rehab was a great experience-- everyone should do it!
Here's a clip from that night's Mike Malloy show, where Mike plays excerpts from Rush's self-thrown "welcome back" party and then puts out Limbaugh's candles by pissing on his cake. (Note: File size is large, 1 MB.)
P.S. If you think I've been writing about Malloy a lot lately, you're right, mainly because I've been listening to him a lot and never cease to be impressed by how good he is. He has the best-produced radio talk show around, with the intelligence of NPR call-in shows but none of their pretense or tedium, and certainly none of their blandness. Even if you think you don't like talk shows (I don't blame you), you still might give Mike a try. You can download three weeks worth of shows here.
