Talking Zsa Zsa Huffington here. (laughing) I mean, $315 million for the Huffing and Puffington Post, and AOL bought it. I\u2019ll tell you what this is. I\u2019ll tell you exactly what this is. The left will spend anything to save itself from reality. The <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/01125107.Par.89380.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"239\" class=\"alignright\"\/>reality is that nobody cares. The reality is it\u2019s in big trouble so let\u2019s buy it, let\u2019s put $315 million behind it and let\u2019s make it look like it\u2019s something that\u2019s big and something that\u2019s happening. Meanwhile, the site is moderating toward the center. It\u2019s not even trying to aim at the fringe leftist base anymore because there isn\u2019t a whole lot of money there. Why doesn\u2019t AOL, why don\u2019t they just go out and buy the Democrat Party and cut out the middleman? Who needs the website? Now, Zsa Zsa, 18 to $20 million a year is what she\u2019s going to be paid for this, which will buy a lot of stuff from Chanel, you know, a lot of pamper treatments at the spa, wherever she gets them done, so I guess it\u2019s a good deal.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: By the way, Keith Olberdorkk who left MSNBC is going to Algore\u2019s cable channel, Current TV, where &#8212; (interruption) Yeah, it\u2019s still on, and I just have one piece of advice for the people at Fox. Do not ever talk about what goes on over there and nobody will ever hear about it. Olbermann wouldn\u2019t be anything today if they hadn\u2019t decided to start picking fights with those people over there. That network wouldn\u2019t have half the audience as it does now. Anyway, the Chinese opera format was not working at Current TV, the global warming stuff just hadn\u2019t caught hold so now they\u2019re all-in with Olberdorkk as the political director and primetime talent at Algore\u2019s cable channel. Trust me, ladies and gentlemen, as a highly trained broadcast specialist, this is a move that under normal circumstances you wouldn\u2019t publicize and you would frankly hope nobody ever heard about. But the word\u2019s out. &#8230;<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: By the way, they\u2019re paying Olbermann in carbon credits.
