Quotes

  • Take that bone out of your nose and call me back.
  • Have you ever noticed how all composite pictures of wanted criminals resemble Jesse Jackson?
  • (All equally truthful: number 1 is not more or less important than 35.)
  • Styrofoam and plastic milk jugs are biodegradable! Do you know what isn't biodegradable? Paper!
  • The NAACP should have riot rehearsal. They should get a liquor store and practice robberies.
  • Militant feminists are pro-choice because it's their ultimate avenue of power over men. And believe me, to them it is a question of power. It is their attempt to impose their will on the rest of society, particularly on men.

Limbaugh became one of the most prominent conservative voices in the United States during the 1990s and hosted a national television show from 1992 to 1996. He was among the most highly paid figures in American radio history; in 2018 Forbes listed his earnings at $84.5 million. In December 2019, Talkers Magazine estimated that Limbaugh's show attracted a cumulative weekly audience of 15.5 million listeners to become the most-listened-to radio show in the United States.
