- 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."
