Book Description
"The Rush Limbaugh Story is the first full-length account of the life and times of the conservative funny-man who has become America's most-listened-to radio host, a popular television commentator, a best-selling polemicist, and a political power in his own right. It is a no-holds-barred look at the public and private life of this huge media star." "Rush Limbaugh's worldview was forged by a domineering, ardently Republican father and a small-town Missouri upbringing far removed from the tumult of the 1960s. Paul D. Colford, a New York media columnist who has covered him for five years, details young Rusty's entry into radio as a teenager, an enthusiasm that eventually prompted him to quit college and set out on the gypsy path of a rock-and-roll disc jockey." "Rush lost job after job, along with two wives, but found his calling when he switched to talk radio and his liberal-bashing pranks earned him a wildly receptive following on Sacramento's KFBK-AM. A shrewd syndicator spun him off to a national audience in 1988." "The Rush Limbaugh Story sets his emergence against the changing landscape of network radio as it explores the foibles, the deals, the marriages, the controversies, the bombast, the riches, and the ego of the conservative pitbull whose influence was actively courted by President Bush in the 1992 campaign. Today he reaches more than sixteen million listeners a week via six hundred stations. And those numbers continue to grow while the question remains: Who is Rush Limbaugh?"--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved

Pages : 306
Book Description
All Henry Preston Taylor wants to do is oust the President of the United States, and he can't understand why it's so difficult. Using the tried and true methods he's employed in the past, Taylor has created "The President Project," a vast conspiracy which he feels will guarantee success this time. The only problem is the media; the most popular talk show hosts have dropped like flies, due to drug and sex scandals, and there are very few outlets available to peddle his wares. He decides that the only way he can be successful is to control the message himself, through his own radio talk show. Enter Merton Greeley, a 30-something janitor who is thrust onto the radio due to extreme circumstances. Greeley is loud, bombastic, and phenomenally stupid; the perfect foil for Taylor's plans. Or is he? Talent on Loan is a raucous ride through the world of politics and media, which leaves no stone unturned and no nose un-bloodied.
