I do not have Rush's other name but today there is no warrants out on him. BUT they hold back felony warrants for seven days.

[karlschneider]

1. There probably wouldn't be a warrant...those are normally issued only

after at least a preliminary hearing. His other (real?) name is something like Jeff Christie(y?)..

2. I could be wrong but I do not think

a preliminary hearing has to take place. Just a show to a Judge to sign the warrant which is done in private.

3. What was his 'real' name again? Terry something...

It may not be under Rush Limbaugh.

4. Dou you mean Jeff Christie?

Wasn't that Rush's name for a while, till it became too embarrassing to be known by that name?

5. Jeff Christie was a fake name

Rush Limbaugh started out in radio as a teenager in the late 1960s in his home town of Cape Girardeau, Missouri, using the name Rusty Limbaugh. His father, a conservative judge whose wealth and power gave him considerable influence in Southeastern Missouri, had once owned the radio station where Limbaugh started his career. Limbaugh achieved his first taste of radio success in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania , as host of a Top 40 music radio show on station KQV, using the name "Jeff Christie". It was in Pittsburgh that many of Limbaugh's trademarks developed, including a character named "Snerdley" and his claim to use a "golden microphone". After several years in music radio, Limbaugh accepted a position as director of promotions with the Kansas City Royals baseball team. In 1988, Limbaugh returned to radio as a talk show host in Sacramento, California, California. After achieving some local success, he moved to New York City in the early 1990s and eventually became syndicated via a company called Premiere Broadcasting. Limbaugh refers on-air to the "Excellence In Broadcasting Network", or "E-I-B", however there is no such actual organization. He has a dynamic voice and dramatic presentation. His harshest critics can see that he is an excellent broadcaster. He attracted widespread support in 1998 when he complained that some radio stations were shortening his programs by cutting out the dramatic pauses to make room for more commercials. In September 2001, Limbaugh denied suggestions that his voice and diction seemed to have changed. However, in October of 2001, he admitted that the changes in his sound were due to an almost total hearing loss. In December 2001, Limbaugh underwent cochlear implant surgery, which restored a measure of hearing in one ear. Limbaugh was the 1992, 1995, and 2000 recipient of the Marconi Radio Award for Syndicated Radio Personality of the Year, given by the National Association of Broadcasters. He was inducted into Broadcasting's Hall of Fame in 1993.

6. Eeeek... here is Jeff Christie

Yes, Jeff Christie is Rush Limbaugh !

Jeff Christie was at KQV twice in the early seventies. Jeff originally came to Pittsburgh to work at WIXZ. He came to KQV to do nights in 1972. A number of the phrases we still hear on his Rush Limbaugh show today on more than 600 stations "all across the fruited plain" were heard when he was on KQV. You can hear a sample of Jeff's work during the 14K days at the Reel Top 40 Radio Archives. He returned for a short time during KQV's final days of top 40 filling in middays before moving on to Kansas City. Rush Limbaugh's EIB network came from a term he used here in Pittsburgh in the early seventies. EIB = Excellence In Broadcasting

7. When he was jeff christie he said this....

current job, as self-appointed spokesman for the "angry white males", evolved over the years — his attitudes never did. As a young broadcaster in the 1970s he once told a black caller: "Take that bone out of your nose and call me back." A decade later he was musing: "Have you ever noticed how all composite pictures of wanted criminals resemble Jesse Jackson?"
