Rush Limbaugh: An Army of One Review
"I know the liberals call you 'the most dangerous man in America,' but don't worry about it, they used to say the same thing about me. Keep up the good work."
-Ronald Reagan in a letter to Rush Limbaugh, December 11, 1992
And So Rush Limbaugh became the titular head of the Republican party. :)
Right off the bat the author ask us! Do you remember your first time? NO not your first kiss (or errrrr the other thing LOL)! The first time you herd El Rushbo. I do! it was the first week he went national and My cousin Warren had her the show on Monday, and told us, HEY you got to hear Rush and I did the next day and have been hooked ever since. He is clearly the King of political talk.
For the author Zev Chafets, it was in a car in Detroit, driving down Woodward Avenue. Limbaugh's braggadocio, the outrageous satire, the slaughtering of liberal sacred cows performed with the verve of a rock-n-roll DJ-it seemed fresh, funny and completely subversive. "They're never going to let this guy stay on the air," he thought. The Author is a confirmed Liberal abut he is also a fan of Rush's show. I have a Marxists atheists friend who is a Limbaugh fan as well, go figure.
Almost two decades later Chafets met Rush for the first time, at the Southern Command. They spent hours together talking on the record about politics, sports, music, show business, religion and modern American history. Rush opened his home and his world, introducing Chafets to his family, closest friends, even his psychologist. The result was an acclaimed cover-story profile of Limbaugh in The New York Times Magazine. What he does my talking to Rush and 100s of other people about Rush is give as a short life historyof Rush and we get a picture of what makes Rush tick.
Its written in an easy to read, engaging and entertaining style. I love them way he blends in Rushisms all through the book and also includes worlds fro song parodies and bits. I found myself laughing out loud and the buts etc.,
Everyday listeners, will remember much of what is covered hear by the author; Operation Chaos, The NFL ownership saga, "I Hope He Fails", Michael J. Fox, etc... but you will also get how Rush personally feels about some of these things as they pertain to his show.
One review said that "Chafets paints a compelling portrait of Limbaugh as a master entertainer, a public intellectual, a political force, and a fascinating man." and I have to agree. This is a great read for For ditto-heads and anyone who wants to know about Rush. Rush Limbaugh An Army Of One, is a great read!!!!

Do you remember your first time?
People tend to remember the moment they first heard The Rush Limbaugh Show on the radio. For Zev Chafets, it was in a car in Detroit, driving down Woodward Avenue. Limbaugh's braggadocio, the outrageous satire, the slaughtering of liberal sacred cows performed with the verve of a rock-n-roll DJ-it seemed fresh, funny and completely subversive. "They're never going to let this guy stay on the air," he thought.
Almost two decades later Chafets met Rush for the first time, at Limbaugh's rarely visited "Southern Command." They spent hours together talking on the record about politics, sports, music, show business, religion and modern American history. Rush opened his home and his world, introducing Chafets to his family, closest friends, even his psychologist. The result was an acclaimed cover-story profile of Limbaugh in The New York Times Magazine.
But there was much more to say, especially after Limbaugh became Public Enemy Number One of the Obama Administration. At first Limbaugh resisted the idea of a full-length portrait, but he eventually invited Chafets back to Florida and exchanged more than a hundred emails full of his personal history, thoughts, fears and ambitions. What has emerged is an uniquely personal look at the man who is not only the most popular voice on the radio, but the leader of the conservative movement and one of the most influential figures in the Republican Party.
While Limbaugh's public persona is instantly recognizable, his background and private life are often misunderstood. Even devoted Dittoheads will find there's a lot they don't know about the self-described "harmless little fuzzball" who has, over the years, taken on the giants of the mainstream media and the Democratic Party-from Bill and Hillary Clinton to Barack Obama-with "half his brain tied behind his back, just to make it fair." Chafets paints a compelling portrait of Limbaugh as a master entertainer, a public intellectual, a political force, and a fascinating man.
