Didn't Rush Limbaugh ever learn to share?

To prove how profoundly dumb Les Kinsolving's WND "exclusive commentary" (love that part) is, I'll simply flip in on its head.
Here's the Kinsolving headline:
Didn't Katie Couric ever learn to share?
And the lede:
America is still known as "The Land of Opportunity."
And this made me wonder why CBS' anchor lady, Katie Couric, has not, reportedly, offered to share some of her income to save dozens of her fellow CBS employees - whom the New York Observer and the New York Post, among others, reported are being laid off.
Ms. Couric, reports Drudge, is, instead of any such helping of her fellow employees, facing "a dramatic pay cut at the network."
But the New York Times quoted CBS News President Sean McManus denying any such Couric pay cut.
The Drudge Report noted that she is "the highest-paid TV news personality in history" and "commands over $14 million a year, plus bumps for non-evening news appearances."
Think about that.
The sum $14 million equals, for a 40-hour week, $70,500 an hour; $1,175 a minute; and $19 per second!
Yikes! Couric makes a lot of money at CBS. And yet dozens of CBS employees have been let go recently. Therefore, conservative Kinsolving, suddenly embracing a socialism/communism hybrid outlook, suggests Couric should take her salary and give it to CBS employees.
Okay, but here's the thing. Kinsolving's beloved AM talker Rush Limbaugh, makes way more money than Couric working for Clear Channel radio. And in recent years, it's no exaggeration to say Clear Channel, as it goes through a slow-motion demise, has fired tens of thousands of employees.
So based on Kinsolving's 'logic,' Limbaugh should "share" his earnings with the radio vets, right?
Right?


















;)
How exactly does that math work?
$70,500 per hour * 40 hours per week * 50 work weeks per year = $140 million, not 14 million.
Someone better tell WND that one of their employees is advocating the redistribution of wealth!
Then I notice that he doesn't seem to read or understand any of the items here, the other comments, or responses to him. So I feel ok, as it's impossible for somebody to be embarrassed when they have absolutely no clue as to how embarrassed they should be.
Why don't they just do a live feed from Michael Steele's office?
Besides, using Republican math, according RNC chairman Steele, a million dollars really isn't a lot of mony after taxes and all. So 14 million? Pffffttt, after taxes it's not really that much money, right?
(Please Note: This is satire. I don't comment on other's appearance but I just thought I make a little fun of Rush.))
She must have earned her "liberal" cred when she asked Palin what she reads.
