The answer is, no. In fact, I have been reading blogs and other commentary and opinion on this Limbaugh quote ever since the Supreme Court decision about Obamacare came down. (Read the full ruling here.)
I went to Limbaugh’s program website and found the excerpt–now handily posted–from the transcript of a followup show two years ago when he clarified his position on packing up and heading to Costa Rica. The headline reads: “No, I am not moving to Costa Rica.”
“If I have to get thrown into this massive government health care insurance business and end up going to the driver’s license office every day when I need to go to the doctor, yeah, I’ll go to Costa Rica for treatment, not move there.”
My opinion on Limbaugh and other controversial shock jocks is based on how he does his job. And as a shock jock, he is supposed to be a highly politicized, ultra-opinionated, oftentimes offensive, entertainer. In the world of talk radio, he is not alone. Slapping on the descriptor “not politically correct” is supposed to make him more appealing to the masses, but his schtick–politics aside–is not that different than others in his field, such as Don Imus, Howard Stern, and Sean Hannity.
And, love him or hate him, he actually does his job quite well.

I noticed in the fourth paragraph a misspelling for the word ‘shock’. Or perhaps it’s a written Freudian slip and you meant to write ‘schlock’ (meaning low value or quality)?
Ted Bundy also did his job quite well. One has to ask whether it’s a job that has any value; same for Limbaugh and his ilk.
Limbaugh should move to CR, he’d be a lot closer to the Dom.Repbulic, where he likes to have his little Viagra-infused flings. He’s made millions and millions….what does that say about the mindset of this country? Kenny Chesney, makes millions while his redneck fans leave 50thou.tons of trash in Pittsburgh. Chesney could care less, it pays for several homes he owns in St.John VI, and wherever else he has homes. Rich, yes, cool in the true sense of the word, not even close. Limbaugh should have been put in jail for his oxycontin doctor shopping, and a lot more, but the hypocrite has zero credibility. Scum, pure and simple……scum.
