A Rush job to save face
Secret memo pushed a PR blitz

By CORKY SIEMASZKO
DAILY NEWS STAFF WRITER

Rush Limbaugh's spin team came up with a secret plan to save their boss after the conservative commentator admitted he was addicted to painkillers, the Daily News learned yesterday.

The plan involved taking up former Sen. Bob Dole's offer "to help" the embattled radio jock - and suggesting he write a supportive letter to Newsweek magazine.

The Oct. 13 memo to Premiere Radio Networks' president Kraig Kitchen, obtained by The News, also recommended doing a survey of Rush's listeners to gauge their reaction to Limbaugh's embarrassing admission.

... It also urges "Kraig to send memo to Congress" with updates on "coverage, advertiser and affiliate feedback."

Confronted with her memo, Limbaugh spokeswoman Keven Bellows said the Congress she was referring to was the senior management team at the Premiere Radio Networks.

Throw an interception here or there just to make Rush look good.
Or when he throws a TD pass, give credit to the media.

4. "by the way, happy birthday ..."?

rush was born January 12, 1951. Not December 12. That honor belongs to the SCOTUS since it gave birth to the greatest plague this planet has ever known.

:grr:

at the base of the spinal cord in which excess tissue and hair may collect, causing discomfort and discharge
commenced duty on December 12.

5. Which members of Congress would Kitchen have access to and

Why would he expect that Congressmen or women would have a vested interest in a talking head junkie?
I hope the paper follows up and reports on who in Government would be able to influence Kitchens business.

[MoonAndSun]

6. I hope this part of the article is true...

Also yesterday, the National Enquirer reported that "the police web is tightening around Rush Limbaugh" and that he could be arrested in days.

Limbaugh's lawyer, Roy Black, yesterday called the tabloid story "a pure fabrication" and a "thinly veiled attempt to destroy Mr. Limbaugh's reputation and career."

[KansDem]

10. "...addicted to painkillers."

Why can't the media call them for what they are? Drugs!

Call them for what they are, not for what they do!!!

Notice how "addicted to painkillers" sounds a lot less criminal than "addicted to drugs" or "addicted to narcotics?"

Or how would this sound?: Rush Limbaugh's spin team came up with a secret plan to save their boss after the conservative commentator admitted he used drugs,...

I mean, we don't call it The War on Painkillers (???)

F*cking hypocrites!!!

[formactv]

19. Good Idea!

Let's call it the War on Painkillers. Painkiller Czar.

12. PR blitzes are not that good they are supported by a desirous media

The defense* deserves all the credit.

*Note that his defense attorney is not a sign that he is guilty of anything or even charged just that he is and is about to be.

13. This woman can't even tell a good lie

It also urges "Kraig to send memo to Congress" with updates on "coverage, advertiser and affiliate feedback."

Confronted with her memo, Limbaugh spokeswoman Keven Bellows said the Congress she was referring to was the senior management team at the Premiere Radio Networks.

[frylock]

[Skittles]

24. since our senior management work in a huge building

that symbolizes the disgusting excesses of the 80's, we refer to the building as THE GOD POD - but Congress ? LOL, give me a break. hey ARE mostly white males, but still . . . . . . ..

[loudnclear]

21. Sent my e-mail to CNN...maybe you'll hear about the subject soon.

This is outrageous!

[mumon]

22. Huh?

Confronted with her memo, Limbaugh spokeswoman Keven Bellows ...

Geez, you mean he can't talk to people without <insert blatherous bombast here...> so he needs a "spokesperson???"

Also yesterday, the National Enquirer reported that "the police web is tightening around Rush Limbaugh" and that he could be arrested in days.



Book him, Danno!

And if Roy Black thinks the Enquirer is trying to "destroy" Limbaugh, why don't they sue????

Hmmmmm....

26. The needle and the damage done...

...it's all such a shame- turns out Rush was HIGH HIGH HIGH on "heroin like" narcotics all those years, and on the air, no less...
