The AFL-CIO tells us:
Missouri may be the “Show Me” state, but here’s something that really ought to be kept under wraps—a statue of right-wing radio flamethrower Rush Limbaugh in the state Capitol’s Hall of Famous Missourians.
That’s right, state House Speaker Steven Tilley (R) has commissioned a statue of Limbaugh to stand among those of Harry Truman, Walt Disney, Laura Ingalls Wilder, Mark Twain and others who, unlike Limbaugh, wouldn’t also qualify for an inclusion in a hall of “Infamous” Missourians. Wouldn’t you love to hear Truman’s take on this?As of last count, 20 advertisers and two stations have dropped Limbaugh's show. Progress Missouri wants you to sign the petition to keep him out of the Capitol. (Just click here.)
We think this comment by lonedoghowling says it all:
It's like being proud to be the meth capital of the world. Or the state with the most homicides. But HEY! Some will take any claim to fame. It's a sickness.
