In these troubled times, which of Rush’s words have most bothered listeners?

Love him or hate him, sometimes you wake up in the morning or turn on the radio in the afternoon, and you just don’t have it in you to stand hearing what’s coming out of Rush Limbaugh’s mouth at that moment.

In response to a FOIA request, the FCC provided 31 submissions from recent years, and they hit a lot of Limbaugh lightning rod language and lessons.

his biological analysis of FLOTUS …

his take on gender politics …

through the heartland …

all the way to California …

it was the “bullsh*t” that rang from sea to shining sea.

The talk radio tycoon renewed his contract with mainstream giant iHeartRadio last month, ensuring his spot on early afternoon airwaves for the next four years.
