After lugging bucket loads of slop sufficient to fill up that slob it would be the least he could do. And BTW ,it depends on what you call big.
“Meanwhile, waiters buzzed around our table. They seemed to anticipate Limbaugh’s every wish, refreshing our drinks, serving unasked-for delicacies, periodically checking to make sure everything was exactly to Limbaugh’s satisfaction.”

Chafets later offered this by way of explanation: “Dinner was winding down, and I called for the check. It tickled Limbaugh to be taken out to eat on The New York Times. A few weeks later, he sent me a copy of an interview with Jeremy Sullivan, a waiter at the Kobe KobeClub in New York,” he wrote.

“Sullivan told a reporter that Limbaugh, a fellow Missourian, was the biggest tipper in town: ‘He likes to throw down the most massive tips I’ve ever seen. The last few times his tips have been $5,000.’ When I read this, I felt a stab of guilt toward the hyperattentive staff at Trevini. If I had only known, I would have let Limbaugh leave the tip.”

This was Limbaugh’s habit. And yet, some were angry that it was his money on the giving end of the gratuity.


In 2014, The Dallas Morning News ran a short piece on Merritt Tierce, a local author whose debut novel described her experiences working at a steakhouse. The anecdotes were taken from real life, but The Morning News’ Chris Vognar wrote that “her best story, to my mind, didn’t make it into the book”

“Tierce used to get some high rollers at the restaurant, including conservative talk show mogul Rush Limbaugh. Tierce waited on Limbaugh twice,” Vognar wrote.

“Both times Limbaugh left her $2,000 tips on modest-size checks, once with twenty $100 bills. ‘That was like blood money to me,’ says Tierce, who does not share Limbaugh’s social views.”

So she decided to put his money to good use, or really the opposite of that.

“Tierce was also executive director of the TEA Fund, which provides money to women who can’t afford to get abortions,” Vognar wrote.

“So she did the only logical thing with Limbaugh’s cash. She donated a sizable chunk of it to the TEA Fund.”

“[T]he only logical thing,” for a man who had apparently earned “blood money” by having social views that clashed with Tierce’s (and, one presumes, Vognar’s) own.

Here's the link, read the whole damn article for yourself.
I'll be waiting for all of your, "Yeah but's."

Remember: whatever lefties say about Rush is really what they think about you.

They're just willing to say it out loud about Rush.
Part of the thing is that it's a kind of selection bias. Liberals and lefties never listened to Rush. The only things they've ever heard him say are the worst things he ever said. The guy had so SO much material and most of it was not objectionable.
 

It will be fine

His persona was being a piece of human garbage. It was kinda his thing to be offensive.

I gotta admit I haven't listened to or read anything much by him since the 90s, but I really don't remember much that's far outside the realm of what your run-of-the-mill conservative would say. You can take from that what you will.

You should try commenting without personal attacks. Your attacks demonstrate a lack of character. Your mother would be embarrassed.
Ooookay....
Why do you keep doubling down on looking stupid? Does presenting yourself as an idiot bring you joy?
You are always so butthurt that any idiot off the street can do your job. It’s sad.
Do you enjoy looking stupid?
