RUSH LIMBAUGH INDUCTED INTO ‘HALL OF FAMOUS MISSOURIANS’; MISSOURI DEMOCRATS NOT PLEASED

If you had to name one famous person who came from Missouri, who would it be? A Sports star? One of their Congressional representatives? Maybe such Missouri luminaries as actor Vincent Price (who originally came from Saint Louis) or poet T.S. Eliot (also from Saint Louis)? Maybe former President Harry Truman, or peanut butter inventor George Washington Carver, or animator Walt Disney, or writer Mark Twain?
Or maybe even…Rush Limbaugh, originally from Cape Girardeau? Talboy’s reasoning for why Limbaugh should not be included in the hall boils down to a simple charge – he’s too controversial. However, this seems like a bit too much of a picky point. Even if you agree with Talboy’s dislike of Limbaugh, the fact is that the Hall isn’t called the Hall of Morally Unassailable Missourians. It’s called the Hall of Famous Missourians, and there’s no doubt at all that Limbaugh is very, very famous. After all, no one but a famous person could get the attention of the Minority Leader of a State Legislature.
And more to the point, if Limbaugh’s too controversial, then what does that make his fellow inductee, Jimmy Carter?
Rush, a great American.
