PEOPLE, Page 77Rush Back On Top
By GINIA BELLAFANTE
It's a vindication for anyone coveting a bumper sticker
that reads BUCHANAN IN '96. A switch that will delight the ever
growing crowds who consider MADONNA more annoying than a grass
stain on a new Gaultier shirt. After three weeks of living in
the weighty Mylar shadow of Sex, radio's right-wing gab man RUSH
LIMBAUGH is back resting happily at the No. 1 spot on the New
York Times best-seller list. Limbaugh's The Way Things Ought to
Be, a 304-page diatribe against all people, places and things
liberal, had come down a notch shortly after the Erotica goddess
landed in stores with her media-hyped assemblage of pop-tart
fantasies. What Rush's return seems to indicate is that America
prefers its bombast packaged in the form of a paunchy suit-clad
politico rather than a raunchy unclothed chanteuse. Or, then
again, it could mean that readers have found Limbaugh's
provocative use of the written word even more exciting than a
bunch of racy pictures. One of the book's headings? "Go Ahead
and Lick That Frog."
