I've worked with and have known radio personalities (and other media personalities) for years. They almost never walk away. Johnny Carson was one of the few who retired rather early and walked away into almost hiding.

Limbaugh's ego is gigantic. He refers to his listeners as ditto heads and calls himself "El Rushbo" and how he's the High Professor of Republican Studies. Blah blah blah. He ain't going anywhere.
