Lim‧baugh, Rush /ˈlɪmbɔː/
(1951–) a US radio and television talk show host. His programmes discuss politics from a conservative point of view and are very popular. He and the people who telephone his show often talk about political ideas in a very emotional way. In 2003 he said that he was addicted to drugs that reduce pain, and he went to a rehabilitation centre. He is also known for inventing words for insulting people he does not like, for example ‘feminazi’ for feminists whose ideas he thinks are too strong or ‘environmental wacko’ for people who strongly support protecting the environment.
