Rush is every talk stations cash cow so none of them would ever drop
his show.  I hear a lot of the left and anti Rush crowd say how Ted
Kennedy should be happy now since he was Limbaugh's whipping post over
his alcohol addiction.  So Ken, Rush never killed anyone right?  
Remember in Chappaquiddick, Mass., Teddy-boy had driven off the edge
of a bridge.  He wasn't severely injured, however, Mary Jo Kopechne
the woman that was in his vehicle with him was KILLED.
