Limbaugh has left the building, or at least NYC

[NYCGirl]

He sold his hideous condo.

Rush Limbaugh is making good on his promise to "get out of New York totally," and has finalized the $11.75 million sale of his Upper East Side apartment to "international purchasers." And Limbaugh was apparently so eager to relocate to Florida that he left the apartment furnished and decorated. Luckily, the buyers were reportedly "especially attracted to the richly designed space." Now they have the luxury of waking up every morning and looking at cherubs holding flowered garlands right above their heads!

Limbaugh originally listed the 4,661-square-foot, four bedroom apartment for nearly $14 million. He bought the property for $5 million in 1994, and nearly sold it for a lower price before accepting a higher bid from the new tenants. And in case you were late to the bidding war, the Corcoran listing has some details you can use to make your own apartment a Limbaugh-esque oasis. They say, "Renowned artist Richard Smith has hand painted many of the mural ceilings and walls. Moldings are hand painted gold leaf. Floors are herringbone mahogany, foyer entry floor is patterned Italian hand-cut marble, and walls are upholstered in silk Damask."



Here's the real estate listing:

10. He could have been in deep shit over this.

The only thing that saved his worthless ass was his good buddy Jeb Bush was Governor at the time.

OxyRush pressed his luck with the doctor shopping charges though.

2. Congratulations, New Yorkers... Your gain, Florida's pain...

;)

4. Thank you. The city smells better already.

I feel sorry for Florida.










But not that much. We don't want him back.

[Mendocino]

5. Maybe the new owners will convert to a Mosque.

That is depending on how far it is from the 9-11 Site.:)

[Arkana]

6. And I'm sure NYers are only too happy to see his fat, diseased, cyst-studded ass go.

7. Good

1 Giant bedbug less now

8. He knew if he got caught with his oxy in New York he would

have to pay the piper. BUT you know how Florida is, if you are a republican you can run wild. Look at the last time he was caught. And look at Coulter and her voting fraud,,,voting in the wrong district KNOWING she was not registered there. So no wonder he wanted to get "out of Dodge".

9. His main residence has been in FL for years.

We have no state income tax so that's probably why.

11. He wants to be closer to his carribbean boy toys and oxyviagra runs?

12. Could the move cost him more money than taxes he would save?

Wouldn't he have to pay a capital gains tax on the sale, plus the cost of moving expenses?

[Gaedel]

13. He isn't moving much

He sold the place furnished.

He has a mansion in Florida three or four times that size.
