Late Breaks: Hating Rush Limbaugh and Facebook

-David Frum doesn't want Rush Limbaugh to become the face of American conservatism. Why? Because "[w]ith his private plane and his cigars, his history of drug dependency and his personal bulk, not to mention his tangled marital history, Rush is a walking stereotype of self-indulgence -- exactly the image that Barack Obama most wants to affix to our philosophy and our party." [Newsweek]

-Martin Peretz has bought back The New Republic from CanWest, the Canadian media conglomerate he sold it to in 2007. [Politico]

-If that $225 million The New York Times Co. got from its sale-leaseback of its headquarters building were a loan, it would come at an interest rate of between 11 and 16 percent. [Gawker]

-Matt Labash really, really, really hates Facebook, even though he's never been a member. [Weekly Standard]. □
