Then we just have to disagree and move on.

That's pretty awesome the way you took that bit out of context after I've been accusing you of taking things out of context in this story. A+ for that one ;)
Here is that whole part, once again:
LIMBAUGH: “What is the politics in the coverage of the suicide of Robin Williams?” Well, I believe there is some. But I don’t think that the politics is driving it. I think there was, on the part of media and Hollywood, genuine affection for the guy that is driving it, but there is politics. If you notice the coverage is focused on how much he had, but it wasn’t enough.
I hope I've cleared this up for you.
The bold is where Rush is clearly talking about politics (which mind you he never said wasn't in the "coverage" of the story, he simply said politics wasn't "driving" the story) and the italics is where he's clearly talking about the affection.
Notice the last part of the sentence before he says "If you notice the coverage is focused on how much he had, but it wasn’t enough." is "but there is politics."
And the very next paragraph after he specifically talks about the political coverage of his death is the one you all are thinking links Robin Williams' suicide to him being unhappy for being a liberal.
Do you...do you guys know how the English language works?
If I say "I'm going to the store with Bob and Jim but not Larry, he's been sick lately."
Clearly "he" is Larry because that's the last person I mentioned.
Likewise if the last thing Rush said was the coverage of Robin Williams' suicide was partly due to politics because the left focused on him not having enough and being unhappy because he didn't have enough...

This sinking in yet?
I am sorry - I really cannot afford to help you with this anymore. You'll have to take an incomplete for now.
