Rush continued his assault on the Clintons until they left the White House. His attacks were harsh, personal, and often without merit. But the post-Clinton years were tough for Rush. He really missed having Bill and Hillary to beat up, so Rush would occasionally mention Washington parlor gossip about Bill's big ego, post-presidency. And then, in a strange twist, he had Bill on the show during the 2008 primaries.

Now Rush has a new enemy, and he's ready to profit from this one, too. He "wrote" an op-ed piece that's posted in today's Wall Street Journal on a stimulus plan that he calls the "Obama-Limbaugh Stimulus Plan of 2009." Rush didn't really write it - someone on his staff typed up an ad-lib monologue that Rush gave on his show, so the plan isn't really that interesting. It's all fluff and no details, but hey, that's what one expects from an entertainer.

What can we expect from Rush over the next 4 to 8 years? A quick read of one of his official biographies may provide insight:

Rush Hudson Limbaugh III is an American radio host and conservative political commentator. His nationally-syndicated talk show, The Rush Limbaugh Show, airs throughout the world on Premiere Radio Networks. He has been credited with reviving AM radio in the United States, and is considered to have been a "kind of national precinct captain" for the Republican Party's Congressional victories in 1994. National Review magazine, in a 1993 cover story, called him "The Leader of the Opposition" during the Clinton presidency. A month after Bill Clinton's defeat of the the Elder Bush in 1992, Ronald Reagan sent Limbaugh, a man he never met, a letter in which he thanked Limbaugh "for all you're doing to promote Republican and conservative principles...[and] you have become the Number One voice for conservatism in our Country."

Luckily, I don't listen to AM or talk radio anymore. I use my iPod and XM radio when I'm on those long drives. Join me and make the switch, too. It'll make the Honeymoon last longer.
