LIMBAUGH'S In No RUSH To Wed CNN Anchor

(From The New York Daily News -- By Lloyd Grove)

Are RUSH LIMBAUGH and DARYN KAGAN on the rocks?
[I STILL can't believe they were dating.]

It was almost two years ago that LOWDOWN exclusively revealed the surprising romance between the right-wing talk-radio star and the publicly apolitical CNN anchor.
That was when the two showed up together at a small private dinner at PATSY'S for Vice President CHENEY during
THE REPUBLICAN CONVENTION.

The rest of the media jumped on the story, and there was even speculation that Limbaugh, who was separated from third wife MARTA, would marry Kagan once his divorce came through.

But Kagan's colleagues at CNN have been buzzing about the absence of an engagement ring, and now I hear that the high-profile pair is going through a rough patch.

"Politically, they were not a good fit," reports a Lowdown spy. "She broke it off. She is heartbroken. He is playing golf."

"This is news to her," claimed a friend of the couple. "They love each other very much and have no plans to break up."

A confidant of Limbaugh, who's at the Bob Hope Chrysler Classic
in Palm Desert, California, had no comment.

Ditto Kagan.
