Rush Limbaugh, the portly preacher of the right-wing,took a break from his usual denigration of all things Democratic, and Obama in particular. Oddly, Limbaugh feels concern about CNN’s ratings. It seems that he has become a subscriber to gossip magazines, and fears that reports of Anderson Cooper prowling ‘that bar’ and hanging out at the gym until all hours may be responsible for the temporary dip in CNN viewership. We’ve never seen the maternal side of Rush before, and can only assume that the gossip rags have had a humanizing effect.
The “Silver Fox” was clearly touched by Limbaugh’s concern; and the fact that Limbaugh did not refer to Cooper as a slut even once is an indication that they’re buddies. With this new level of intimacy, Anderson shares some facts about the gym with Limbaugh, which he hopes will interest the sedentary gossip maven. Next week: Rush explores the Brangelina engagement – is it the real deal or publicity stunt? Stay tuned.
