Palm Beach radio talker Rush Limbaugh tells Page2Live exclusively that the firestorm he finds himself in today, after his quip about the late New York Yankees owner George Steinbrenner, is yet another attempt by the Left to kick him off the air.

“That cracker made a lot of African-American millionaires,” Limbaugh said Tuesday on his show, hours after the announcement that Steinbrenner had died of a heart attack. “He fired a bunch of white guys as managers left and right.”

Quickly, New York activist Al Sharpton called the comments repugnant as the Web exploded with criticism of Limbaugh.

Limbaugh’s response: Lighten the hell up, it’s all in jest!

“It’s my stock in trade: Illustrating the absurd by being absurd,” a worked up Limbaugh e-mailed Page2Live exclusively this morning. “Simple to understand and even appreciate IF…IF….IF….one listens to my show.

“Media Matters for America (a group that monitors Conservative TV and radio) does listen but they purposely distort the things I say and the reporters who then quote Media Matter, and do not ever listen to my show, print the erroneous take. All this is purposeful.”

Palm Beach radio talker Rush Limbaugh is officially out of New York City.

Newlywed Limbaugh’s 4,600-square-foot, 20th floor Manhattan pad (click here to visit) is under contract for $11.5 million, The Wall Street Journal reports. The buyer is unknown as of now.

What is known, however, is that conservative Limbaugh fulfilled his promises to get out of the Big Apple when the state of New York adopted higher taxes for the rich over the past few years.

The sale, however, is going to force Limbaugh to pay through the nose. The Journal reports Limbaugh will have to plunk down $325,000 in state and city transfer taxes!

Over the years Limbaugh, who bought the joint for $5 million in 1994, paid $1.1 million in New York property taxes. Add another $1 million or so in maintenance fees.

The lavishly appointed East 86th Street condo, with four bedrooms, five-and-a-half baths and a staff bedroom, also feature four balconies, 30-foot ceilings and a large fireplace.

When asked about his putting the crib up for sale in February, Limbaugh told Page2Live he just had not use for it.

“I haven’t been to New York in over 16 months,” he said. “Or maybe 15. But who’s counting? I have lived full-time in Palm Beach since 1998.”

Goodman attended a polo function in 2009 with Lizzie McGuire actress Hillary Duff (Click on the photo for more)

Wellington polo boss and DUI killing suspect John Goodman is receiving alcoholism and drug-addiction counseling three times a week from the shrink who helped Conservative radio talker Rush Limbaugh in his battle against pain pills, Page2Live has learned.

According to papers filed in multi-millionaire trust-funder Goodman’s criminal case at the Palm Beach County courthouse, the 46-year-old founder of the International Polo Club Palm Beach is banned from traveling out of the county without special permission. He’s out on $100,000-bond as he awaits trial.

Goodman has, however, blanket permission to travel to the North Miami office of clinical psychologist Steven Strumwasser.

Citing privacy laws Strumwasser, the former director of residential treatment for a Miami-Hollywood’s Spectrum Programs, said he couldn’t comment. But in the world of chemical dependency and depression, he is somewhat of a rock star.

Strumwasser is also used as expert witness in SoFla trials in which drugs are at issue, often to explain how addiction can affect a suspect’s behavior.

And then, there was the great Limbaugh Viagra caper!

Hutcherson: "I'm lovingly aggressive (with gays) the same I'd be for a murderer."

More fodder for those who think gay superstar Elton John should have been nowhere near Conservative radio talker Rush Limbaugh’s recent Palm Beach wedding, instead of serenading the newlyweds.

The preacher who signed Limbaugh’s and wife Kathryn Rogers‘ marriage license, Washington State-based mega-church boss Ken Hutcherson, is an internationally known critic of the gay rights who believes that many of the world’s ills stem from homosexuality.

Limbaugh bragged about his fourth wedding as he returned to his show today, calling the nuptials a perfect moment in the best weekend of his life. Oh yes, he also blasted liberals for the criticism heaped upon Elton John since the June 5 wedding at The Breakers.

John has been called every ugly name in the book for taking $1 million of Limbaugh’s hard-earned cash to perform for 400 guests, including: former White House eminence grise Karl Rove, former presidential hopeful and Law & Order star Fred Thompson, former Kansas City Royals slugger George Brett, Fox News talker Sean Hannity, former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, New England Patriots owner Bob Kraft, and golfer Tom Watson, among others.

Limbaugh proudly said on the air that he had a black minister, former Dallas Cowboys linebacker Hutcherson, officiate and a gay rock star, John, entertain. At one point in the ceremony, Rush said, Hutcherson joked he was the third token at the altar, the other two being the wedding rings.

1. “How come you’re not having a photo of this policewoman, bro? You can put up a photo of her in a bikini like Sofia Vergara.” (By Luisito, commenting on Sex scandal-scarred PBSO Lieutenant Paula Kronsperger quits)

2. “What in the hell is going on at PBSO? Is the red light on the cars signal for red light district? Seems to me that the sheriff and his mucky mucks are only interested in spending our tax dollars and hooking up with each other!” (By Lisa, commenting on PBSO commander under on-duty sex investigation)

3. “Sorry to see Rush is giving the singing gig to Elton John. He should have given the job to an unemployed Floridian, and thereby helped with our unemployment rate. Hmmmmm…..but then that could have looked good on Obama’s resume, so that couldn’t possibly work, right? Never mind.” (by Terry from Boca, commenting on After rehearsal luau, it’s Rush Limbaugh’s wedding day; Elton John to sing at banquet)

4. “Elton, congrats. You’ll be singing to a guy who once called gays ‘degenerate malcontents.’ Hope you sleep well tonight, Queen Hypocrite the First.” (by HM, commenting on After rehearsal luau, it’s Rush Limbaugh’s wedding day; Elton John to sing at banquet)

5. “Much happiness to the newlyweds. HOWEVER, what does a younger woman see in an older man?!? I am a woman of 50 and still do not see what is worthwhile in an older man (men my age and older). So few are HOT. I CANNOT do it just for the money. Could’ve but couldn’t. EYUUUUU. All you men in your 30s ROCK!” (by Frankie Denise, commenting on Rush Limbaugh married, again)

Elton John (Click on Elton for more about the bride and groom)

. . . Singer Elton John has been catching serious flak for agreeing to perform at conservative radio talker Rush Limbaugh’s wedding Saturday night in Palm Beach. Page2Live’s scoop that the queen of rock’n'roll serenaded occasional gay-basher Limbaugh and his fourth bride, Kathryn Rogers, in front of a plethora of family values folks, sent the gay and liberal blogosphere into a frenzy. John has been showered with invectives such as “sell out” and “whore,” and quips like: Queen Elizabeth must’ve drop the sword on his head when she knighted Sir Elton?” Well, sources at the hotel told me ol’ Rush dug into his pockets — How does $1 million sound? — because his new wife (and the planner of this wedding) wanted John.  The rocker received a standing ovation when he told the wedding party he was there to “tear down walls and build bridges” . . .

. . . There’s little doubt Elton John was calling the shots. The singer of I’m Still Standing and Crocodile Rock, famous for his diva demands, had liquor and food services at the tables inside the breathtaking Ponce de Leon ballroom at The Breakers held up for the 90 minutes he spent on stage. He didn’t want the clinking of crystal glasses and champagne to disrupt his performance . . .

. . . The last time the singer performed a private gig, in 2008, was for a bunch of shady Russian oligarchs in Moscow. His payday then was $3 million. Limbaugh got a steep discount, but word at The Breakers is that the whole wedding weekend set Limbaugh back $4 million, mostly for rooms, food, drink, parties, guest transportation, clothes, planning, security and activities like golf. So, that’s what they call economic stimulus . . .

Limbaugh and Rogers, joined together for life (Click on the photo for more)

As the stifling evening fell on The Breakers Saturday in Palm Beach, Conservative radio talker Rush Limbaugh tied the knot with his much younger sweetheart, West Palm Beach resident Kathryn Rogers, before a plethora of celebrities gathered at the resort’s gilded Ponce de Leon ballroom.

Among the dozens of giant bouquets of white roses, the famous faces lit by the glow of hundreds of candles included those of: former Bush White House weasel Karl Rove; former presidential hopeful and Law & Order star Fred Thompson; former Kansas City Royals slugger George Brett; Fox News talker Sean Hannity; former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani; New England Patriots owner Bob Kraft; former Clinton White House weasel James Carville and his wife, GOP analyst Mary Matalin; and golfer Tom Watson, among others.

About 400 people started trickling into the ballroom through heavy security about 6:30 p.m. from a line that extended through a long hallway and into the lobby.
