There's no doubt you should get a Presidential Medal of Freedom. First of all, back in the 90s you were invited to honorary chair or gavel or something like that of the House of Representatives.
Rush: That's right, I was named an honorary member of the freshman class of 1994.
Caller: And then just recently you had a statue of yourself dedicated at the Missouri House of legislature, whatever it is there.
Rush: That's a bust of me in the Hall of Famous Missourians at the State House in Jefferson City, Missouri. Which, by the way, the left is still trying to get removed.
Caller: Well, what I'm thinking is, that, and you can correct me if I'm wrong, came after you exchanged shoe boxes of cash for narcotics in Florida--something that most people go to jail for decades for mandatory minimums. They gave you a statue. I mean, you imported drugs into America with the Viagra deal down in Florida. And they still gave you a statue.

(50,983 posts)Limbaugh's voice resemble a cartoon pig? His voice has an underlying squeal to it.

(4,840 posts)censors to drop their guard with all the lavish praise at the beginning of the call. Probably figured he was a fan and turned away from the mute button, is my best guess.
Righties are easily fooled.

But he didn't do any time because Jeb BUSH was the governor of Florida.

A sure way to get him to let down his defenses.
Limbaugh's EGO is his Achille's heel.
Let's remember that.
