1. this made me laugh... suddenly my eye read "Rush" Limbaugh.

I will never read his name in the same way. Guess we all now know why he changed his nickname from Rusty to Rush.

2. Always Good For A Snort

"In an overwhelmingly liberal media, Rush has brought to unprecedented millions of listeners a conservative point of view, year in and year out, on virtually every significant issue, trenchantly, intelligently, wittily, and inimitably. The buoyancy and optimism that infuse all of Rush's commentary, the unfailing good cheer in a good cause that uplifts the spirits of conservative millions every day, are reminiscent of the irrepressible spirit of the man whose life we gather here annually to celebrate, Sir Winston Churchill.”

3. Buoyancy, optimism, and good cheer?

Shit, isn't that how drugs are supposed to make you feel? If these dumbasses had known me in college they would have named the award after me.

4. The Winston S. Churchill Dinner???

Churchill may have had flaws, but the idea of an award, associated with his name, going to that doltish turd Limbaugh makes me fume, as an Englishman.

Churchill wrote well enough to get a Nobel prize for Literature, and wrote and spoke some of the classic speeches in the English language. The only time I've heard or seen Limbaugh quotes I've thought 'typical right-wing idiot'. And Churchill was a statesman; Limbaugh has never run anything in his life, let alone a state.

What next, a Pulitzer prize to FreeRepublic?
