Rush Limbaugh appeared pleased to announce that Keith Olberman had been fired from his post at Current TV, a change in course after his own position had been threatened.
On Monday during his show, Rush Limbaugh appeared to view Olberman's dismissal as a sort victory for the conservative right.
"The month of March in the United States opened with the left convinced that they were finally going to drive me off the air once and for all. By the end of the month I'm still on the air with a higher audience," Limbaugh began.
"And, by the way, Eliot Spitzer, great defender of women's rights. Great, great defender of women's rights, 'Client No. 9,' Eliot Spitzer. Not exactly how they thought it was going to turn out," he remarked.

OP
That's more of a reflection of the people that pay Limbaugh than of Limbaugh. n/t

If you take the average IQ of the perspective audiences and compare them my guess is Spitzer is way ahead.

I'm guessing Limbaugh kicks Spitzer's ass in that area.

You can't expect to kick Limbaugh off the air in one swoop - its like stealing from a vending machine - you got to rock it back and forth a few times - then it goes over.
