Apparently having a Democratic president and controlled congress has whipped conservative radio personality Rush Limbaugh into great shape.

The thinner, meaner and leaner mouth of the GOP was on Jay Leno Show last night, and he talked politics with Leno.
Limbaugh appeared on Jay's primetime show 82 pounds thinner as he predictably took the Obama administration to task for various offenses. Leno, thinner himself, was surprised at how much weight Rush had knocked off, jokingly asked if the weight gain came from consuming “liberal portions.”
Limbaugh trumpeted the beauty of the free market and talked about pie in metaphorical terms. He laid on Obama heavily, saying the country was more mired in racial politics than ever.
When Leno asked who he would like to see as president, Limbaugh replied, “Me! ...But see, I don’t want the pay cut.” Limbaugh is the highest paid radio personality out there, his last deal netted the talker a lucrative new deal with Premiere Radio Networks that will keep him on the air until 2016.
Limbaugh told The New York Times in a past article that he would be getting a nine-figure signing bonus and would make about $38 million a year. The deal was reported to be over 400 million dollars.
