I wonder about Limbaugh and the thousands of his laid-off Clear Channel
colleagues, because the dichotomy is striking: Last July, just months
before the radio economy went into free-fall, Limbaugh's bosses at Clear
Channel, who enjoy deep ties to Texas Republicans and who have been at
the forefront of promoting right-wing radio, rewarded the turbo-talker
with the biggest contract in terrestrial radio history. The contract
included an eye-popping 40 percent raise over his already gargantuan
pay, despite the fact it's doubtful any other radio competitors could
have even matched Limbaugh's old pay scale.

The astronomical worth of Limbaugh's eight-year pact: $400 million. The
amount of money Clear Channel execs have been trying to scrimp and save
this year as they lay off thousands from the struggling company: $400
million. Ironic, don't you think?

The simple truth is that Limbaugh lives in the lap of Clear
Channel-backed luxury, while Clear Channel employees are being axed with
abandon. And those who are lucky enough to keep their jobs are told to
do the work of three or four employees.
