ST. LOUIS MAN CLAIMS RUSH LIMBAUGH AFFAIR

[Imagevision]

<snip>
Dec. 8, 2002
A 46 year old music store owner from the St. Louis area, Elliot Sanders, is claiming that while a college student at Southeast Missouri University in 1971, he had an affair with Rush Limbaugh. Sanders claims that he and Limbaugh, the well known talk radio star, had an affair that went on for about 3 months in the fall of 1971...

Sanders stated that he met Limbaugh in a class he was taking, but it was only after meeting his sister, who was openly gay at that time, that he found out Rush himself was gay. "Rush was a charming man privately," says Sanders, "I met him in a class I was taking, and got on a first name basis with him. I didn't realize he was gay until his sister came to visit him. She was gay, and like, we hit it off, and she seemed shocked that I didn't know Rush was gay as well. When I found out I was like ... wow!"

Sanders says that privately, Limbaugh was very sensitive and caring man, but that he was furiously angry that KFBK, the top 40 radio station he worked while still in high school would not offer him a full time job.

"He was furious about that," said Sanders, "And he often told me that he was really going to show them." According to Sanders, Rush's politics at the time were somewhat middle of the road. "Rush said that he though most people are incredibly gullible, and he felt that the key to radio programming was to reach that crowd, and that it would be really, really easy. He thought he thought he could get anyone to believe anything he said, and the more outrageous is was, the more they would believe it."

When asked when he thought Limbaugh "went straight," Sanders replied, "What are you talking about? I mean, he's been married four times now, do people really not get why he doesn't stay married? I guarantee none of those marriages was ever consummated."

Sanders would not divulge any further details, but when asked if he feared retaliation from Limbaugh for his revelations, he stated, "No, Rush wouldn't do that, he's really a sweetie at heart, but some of the people who listen to him might. I think most of them are psychotic. I don't think these people realize he's just pandering to them for ratings, but if they find out, I wouldn't want to be there."

1. OMG

Somebody please pinch me...

[hector459]

18. Watch out for the set up! This story is from 2002?

I mean, please gimme a break. It might be true but why is this posted here now. My theory is that they are just trying set up some info some blogger will pick it up and then use a fake story to discredit all bloggers....all because the "Gannon" story is getting legs.

[Clark2008]

49. Good point

Bloggers beware and check, check and triple check sources.
The cWHOREporate media hounds don't like us doing their jobs - not that THEY do them.

[Maine-ah]

2. ooh, what a hoot!

43. This is GOOD! eom

3. Rush Limbaugh has been married three times. nt

[Roland99]

16. Doesn't mean he's not gay.

But, this "story" is a joke.

[Kingshakabobo]

29. If you can't hold a job....

you change your line of work.

[Ruffhowse]

4. I thought everyone already knew Rush was gay. No news here.

[wellst0nev0ter]

5. Can't Be True

What gay man would want him?

[MaineDem]

6. 2002??? (nt)

[Pirate Smile]

7. OMG

[bluestateguy]

8. Unfortunately this story is two years old and going nowhere

Has it moved to corporate media yet? Two years after being on a crank website it is going nowhere. When a stroy goes to the corporate media then you know that averge people will be hearing about it. Until then, it will remain in the darkest corners of the internet.

But I want it to be true.

[The Backlash Cometh]

14. I agree. Nothing less than a fauning picture of Rush will do to convince

those gullible masses.

[dhinojosa]

32. I disagree. sometimes chemicals act better when combined with others

This Rush story coming out with the Gannon story is just a wonderful mix. Remember the Rush drug thing didn't come out until after the McNabb incident.

[stillcool]

9. Somebody pinch me...wake me up...throw some water on me...n/t

[DemoTex]

10. Ru$h = $3-bill

[Nitrogenica]

11. All we need are the names of his gay

hookers.

[Cheney Killed Bambi]

12. Breaking news?

It's dated December 8, 2002.

[d.l.Green]

13. Yecchhhhhh! The vision of Gannon doing * was enough! Stop already! eom

[Roland99]

15. Oh good grief.

:eyes:

[QC]

17. This story is as old as the hills. n/t

[sarcasmo]

19. A swift kick to the ditto heads.

[Sparkle]

20. Move along...

Nothing to see here..... :-)

[seriousstan]

21. Not LBN.....Dec. 8, 2002

[KC21304]

22. This guy must have been a genius. Going to college

at age 15. Do the math.

[DARE to HOPE]

26. Well, I am the same age as Rush...

...and I was in college in 1971.

The guy in the music store is either fibbing, or this story came out a few years earlier than 2 years ago.

[burythehatchet]

23. Do not be deterred..keep you eyes on Guckert...our teeth are in their

flesh. Do not let go. Do not be distracted. Every one of these BS scandals is aimed at taking the eye of Guckert.

[tinfoilinfor2005]

24. Agreed!

You have to know that the order has been given: MUDDY THE WATERS.

[donheld]

25. Maybe Rush is who got Gannon/Guckert his White House dates

This thread needs to voted greatest.

[FreedomAngel82]

46. Who knows?

Unless this guy comes out about this now I wouldn't worry about it. Like others have said: focus on Guckert. He's the key I think.

[Ladyhawk]

27. I am highly skeptical of this story. Sorry. n/t

[Jamastiene]

37. I am too.

It would be too good to be true at least for the dems if not for gay people. Oddly enough...

[WatchWhatISay]

28. It's too overdone, anyway.

Subtlety is an art.

[LeftCoast]

30. This story just doesn't feel right

I don't buy it. Better have some evidence to back this up. Besides, I thought Rush never went to college. Or was it that he just never graduated?

[DearAbby]

34. As much as I would like to see Rush discredited...I dont believe it.

May be trying to discredit the blogs by feeding them a bogus story. So they can point and say See? Keep your eyes on the prize, the Guckert/Gannon story. Push it to the hilt...this Rush story, kick it to the curb.

[confludemocrat]

31. He was simply an aspiring asshole

KFBK at that time and still may be the call letters of a radio station in Sacramento CA, not St Louis, curious that the call letters would be mentioned in this way.
Anyway, why embelish the story--he was a turd then and still is. Maybe he was merely confused then in another way than he is now.

35. I'm so glad to NOT be Daryn Kagan right about now!

[MsUSA]

50. Brian Lamb read from a newspaper, that she pulled out of going to

Afghanistan with Rush. Evidently there aren't any accommodations to be had in Kandahar only housing called "hooches" and the advance people couldn't find a double bed for Rush and Daryn she decided not to go.

[Mr_Spock]

36. Who cares if this story goes anywhere - it's a HOOT!!!

These dudes are ALL SELF-LOATHING for some reason - well, actually any person of limited understanding of human behavior could easily figure it out. I mean look that slope-head (Bill O) stating day after day that he "fought" for his country (or some such bizzare shit). These people are all ass-licking wanna be's. You could write a huge novel about the deviant personalities of Bush, Cheney, Condi, Rumsfeld, Ashcroft, Hannity, Slope-Head, Limberger, Savage (haha), Coulter, Novak, Slessenger, and any of the other sociopaths who's name eludes me at this time...

[Garbo 2004]

38. KFBK is in Sacramento, CA. He was hired in 1984, was a hit

and left in 1988 to go to NYC and national syndication. KFBK still carries Rushbo's show.

So that's one error in the story since Rush went to high school in Missouri: http://www.rosecity.net/rush/class.html

He did work at a local station while in high school in Missouri but it wasn't KFBK.

[No Exit]

39. I'm pretty sure Limbaugh doesn't have a sister. Maybe the guy

was mixing him up with Pat Buchanan. I've often idly wondered if Buchanan's sister is gay.

Naw... Limbaugh is just a fool, a fool who couldn't even stick with college even when it was handed to him on a silver platter. Just a fool who is also clueless about how to stay married. How ironic that a member of the right, which claims to know all about marriage and how to "preserve" it, would be unable to preserve even one of his own three marriages. Not only are they no better than the rest of us--they are worse.

[Beam Me Up]

40. I think this story is bullshit. But even if it isn't, who cares!

Limbaugh is a small-minded big-mouthed jerk.

[libodem]

41. I like this line of thinking

I really hate the guy. He says the meanest, most unfair, enraging, stuff,I've ever heard. I hope no one is offended and thinks this is in any way gay bashing. It's just the hypocrisy. Any thing 'family oriented' automatically anti-gay. Pro-family : anti-gay agenda. It's probably an insult to the GBLT community, to insinuate the braggart would be cool enough to be gay, even if he never came out of the closet. Pride goeth before the fall. Man, I would love to see him fall hard. And how does he seem to be skating on those drug charges. Man, if Martha, got jail time , he should,too.

[mattclearing]

42. Who gives a shit?

I mean, yeah, it's lame that he supports people who want to deny gays basic rights and dignity, but isn't this the kind of thing that got Kerry and Edwards into trouble?

Look@!!$ He's GAY!@@@!!

This is rumor posted as fact on a messageboard.

And I'm not sure what it is supposed to point out, other than hypocrisy.

There's already been enough gay insensitivity with the whole Gannon thing.

If Rush Limbaugh is gay, I could really give a shit.

He's also bald and not so round as he once was.

He is, however, a nasty, vile, low, disgusting sonofabitch who preys on the ignorant.

Personally, that's my beef with him. Hypocrisy is the least of his crimes.

[ElectroPrincess]

44. Hypocrisy is the least of his crimes.

But I submit hypocrisy (arrogant flaunting of the rules as made for "others") coupled with the lust for power, money and SEX are at the root of all evil. :P

[orleans]

45. ha ha ha

let's email Daryn Kagan and ask!

maybe she could run it as a cnn "alert! breaking news"

[dandrhesse]

47. looks like a bait to detour the interest in Gannon story to me

[IronLionZion]

48. get out of here, this reeks of Rove.

If this was true about Rush, then it's a hell of a coincidence that it comes out now. It's Gannon's time.

They are probably throwing this nonsense out there to discredit bloggers and other very legitimate factual information.

Like I said, this reeks of Rove. Don't fall for it.

Although I fully believe the GOP stands for "Gay Old Party" and that homophobes are insecure, pathetic, closet homosexuals trying desperately to hid it.

[beyurslf]

51. Any gay man who willingly sleeps with Rush loses his gay card AND the

toaster.
