Rush Limbaugh's hideous apartment on sale

[anitram]

To lighten the mood around here...

Rush Limbaugh's Gaudy Fifth Avenue Penthouse Is Now For Sale - Real Estate - Gawker

Master bedroom (ETA: this is a guest bedroom, master is just below it on the page):

If you've ever wondered what the definition of "nouveau riche" was...well here you have it in all its glory.

 

[VintagePunk]

Oh wow. :shudder:

The buyers will need a team of interior designers, stat.

 

[coolian2]

that's almost as bad as donald trump's new york apartment.

 

[corianderstem]

Nothing is as awful as that gold-plated monstrosity.

 

[No spoken words]

I enjoy the comments below the photos.

 

[LemonMelon]

I wonder what Rush could be compensating for with those oversized bedposts.

 

[INDY500]

What's the point of being a rich white guy if you don't have a stripper pole in every room? Anyway, I'm much more interested in what's in his garage.

 

[martha]

That really is craptacular.

 

[martha]

Steve's comment while looking at the pictures: "It looks like a Mormon Temple."

 

[BVS]

So now we can add bad taste to everything else on the list that makes this man worthless...

Does he have any redeeming qualities?

How much you want to bet not one of those books in his office have been read?

 

[Kieran McConville]

I see the reach toward Roccocco in that room. Why stop there, why not go all the way.

 

[Irvine511]

it almost makes me feel bad for Rusty.

he's the leader (or one of the leaders) of a group of people united by inchoate resentments that stem from insecurities about personal shortcomings.

and we see it here on his walls.

or,

this is what happens when you don't hire a gay to decorate.

and,

i liked this comment: "You know he said to his hack decorator, "Give me something Plantation-era."

 

[cydewaze]

The bathroom has potential. The rest of it is a cross between "garish hotel" and "fake Greek restaurant".

 

[Knuckle]

If I were a bachelor with that kind of money, my place would be completely "esconced in velvet" (as George Costanza put it).

Otherwise, it's difficult trying to look down my nose at someone else's $14 million 20th floor 5th Avenue penthouse. But it is comforting to try.

 

[Irvine511]

if we can't knock the rich, famous, and obnoxious, who can we knock?

 

[Knuckle]

if we can't knock the rich, famous, and obnoxious, who can we knock?

Don't get me wrong, Limbaugh will say anything about anyone. The only limit to what he would say about someone or something is the "7 words" limitation of the FCC. I essentially consider him a radio pornography kingpin. He appeals to the worst parts of our personality and convinces us it is patriotic. He is a big and deserving target.

But I can't deny that I'd be happier than a pig in my own filth if I could live in that penthouse (even if I couldn't change a thing). You know you'd come over for my wine and cheese (Mad Dog and Velveeta) party there if I invited you.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

I'd totally live there.

 

[Galeongirl]

What a lovely apartment.....

 

[MrsSpringsteen]

I read recently that Rush had reduced the price

Check out Al Gore's new digs I'm sure it's all 100% eco friendly too

Al and Tipper Gore have picked up a $8.875M luxury getaway in Montecito, CA; a swanky zip code that has attracted big name residents like Oprah Winfrey, Steve Martin, and Kirk Douglas. Records show that the approximately 6,500 sq. foot home boasts 6 bedrooms, 9 bathrooms, a large pool house, 6 fireplaces, wood framed french doors, and carved stone detailing throughout.

Conservative radio man Rush Limbaugh is taking a fourth stab at marriage with a weekend wedding to Kathryn Rogers, an events coordinator 26 years his junior, according to various reports.

Limbaugh, 59, will reportedly marry the 33-year-old Rogers at his Palm Beach compound. Though he hasn't confirmed the news, the host asked the media to respect his privacy during this "very special" time in his life.

"We try to live our lives as normal people," Limbaugh wrote in an e-mail to Page2Live.com, the gossip site for the Palm Beach Post. "We do NOT seek media attention, we do not want it, especially for this. It is very special, obviously, and we just don't want any media attention."

Publicly, El Rushbo has said he's taking time off from his job to get a puppy, but his biographer, Zev Chafets, told Politics Daily reporter Matt Lewis that the host was actually tying the knot.

The childless Limbaugh's first two marriages were over by the time he rose to national prominence. His third wedding, to Marta Fitzgerald in 1994, was officiated by his friend, Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas. They divorced in 2004.

Before beginning his courtship with Rogers in 2007, Limbaugh was romantically linked to then-CNN anchor Daryn Kagan.

According to Page2Live, Limbaugh suffered a heart attack in December on a trip to meet Rogers' family in Hawaii. One other interesting tidbit about her: She's apparently a direct descendant of founding father John Adams.

The nuptials, if confirmed, would come as a bit of a surprise, as Limbaugh has bristled at the notion of marrying for a fourth time. When Chafets asked the host if he was considering marriage with Rogers, he was hesitant.

"If Kathryn and I were to get married, I know they'd go after her. I'm always going to be a villain ... But Kathryn, I don't know how it would be for her, all the gossip and the nastiness. I worry about it."

 

[BVS]

I wish her the best...

 

[MrsSpringsteen]

I guess Rush is a "cougar"

That picture creeps me out a bit, it's like a little devil on her shoulder

Maybe the 4th time's the charm

[purpleoscar]

Workaholics don't make great marrying partners.

 

[BVS]

Neither do misogynists

He probably can't resist.

 

[MrsSpringsteen]

I don't get any woman being attracted to him-not just physically, but in any other way. But there's someone for everyone. Sunshine, puppies, rainbows..

Some people don't want gay marriage and many gay people still can't get married-but Rush is going on his 4th. So the proper balance of the universe remains intact.

"We try to live our lives as normal people," Limbaugh wrote in an e-mail to Page2Live.com, the gossip site for the Palm Beach Post. "We do NOT seek media attention, we do not want it, especially for this. It is very special, obviously, and we just don't want any media attention."

Which, of course, explains why you wrote an e-mail to a gossip site for a paper telling them that .

Fourth marriage for "Mr. Sanctity"...eh, well, good luck, hope it works out.

Oh, and the apartment...eh...actually, that bedroom picture looks kinda neat, with the wall picture and all (remember, though, he suffers with the burden of being rich). But would I really want to live somewhere Rush lived?

Shouldn't he, like, refrain from speaking about marriage breakups? Yes I guess there is no accounting for who loves who, the proof being that you marry and date attractive women. Willing participants all, I presume.

Rush Can't Get Enough of Talking About Other People's Marriages

Published Wed, Jun 2, 2010 5:37pm ET

Rush just couldn't stop discussing Al and Tipper Gore's reported separation today. Oh, there was talk about why the oil leak in the Gulf of Mexico is bad for President Obama, to be sure, but it was clear that Rush was happiest when talking about the state of the Gores' marriage. Rush relayed the news that "everybody" is surprised that the Clintons' marriage outlasted the Gores'. He also took callers who contributed their speculation on the subject. One suggested that Rush is the real reason for the Gores' split, because Rush destroyed the climate change "hoax." Another predicted that it will eventually be revealed that Al Gore cheated on Tipper, a proposition Rush found "hard to envision," because an affair requires "a willing participant." On the other hand, Rush reasoned, "there's no accounting for who loves who," because "there are people who love Charles Manson."

What?

No, seriously...what?

On the other hand, Rush reasoned, "there's no accounting for who loves who," because "there are people who love Charles Manson."

And there's people who love you, Rush. Like MrsSpringsteen said, there really is no accounting.
