Rush Limbaugh Raises Money For Private Scholarships
I’m not a fan of Rush by any means, but seeing this made me smile.
A letter sent to Rush Limbaugh’s boss demanding he be chastised for comments he made on the air about “phony soldiers” is now on the auction block, and the latest bid is a cool $45,000.
…
“This historic document may well represent the first time in the history of America that this large a group of U.S. senators attempted to demonize a private citizen by lying about his views. As such, it is a priceless memento of the folly of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and his 40 senatorial co-signers,” reads the eBay announcement.
…
“I would like to issue this challenge to Senator Reid and the 41 senators who signed his letter… I would like for each of you, Senator Reid, and the 40 senators who signed, to match whatever the winning bid is. Show us your support for the U.S. military… match whatever the winning bid is and send that amount to the Marine Corps-Law Enforcement Foundation,” Limbaugh said. Limbaugh sits on the board of the foundation that has dispersed $29 million for scholarships.
