Hillbilly Heroin Homeboy On the Road to Oblivion

He'll end up as just another fat, drug-addicted has-been. At least in Minnesota, Rush Limbaugh's brutal daily public exhibition of the effects of human rabies is losing its appeal. And it's even worse for Sean "I'm So Stupid , I Think that I Think" Hannity, who is tanking like Mike Tyson squaring off against Buster Douglas.

Locally, conservative-talk icon Rush Limbaugh's show has lost 43 percent of its audience among 25- to 54-year-olds in the past year. Sean Hannity's show is down a whopping 63 percent. The shift is serious enough that "we're weighing where these shows fit for us in the future," according to Todd Fisher, general manager at KSTP (1500 AM), which carries both syndicated programs.

In a year or too, when the Vulgar Pigboy is found dead on the toilet like Elvis, clutching a fried peanut butter and banana sandwich, Daryn Kagan, current squeeze (doesn't that make you just shudder?) will tell her interviewer, "No one knew he was in so much pain."

Wrong. No one cared that he was in so much pain.
