WASHINGTON — "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 $41,400.
One hundred percent of the money raised from the eBay auction will go to educate the children of Marines and law enforcement officers who died while on duty, the auction says.
Bids will continue until Friday for the letter signed by 41 Democratic senators and sent on Oct. 2 to Mark P. Mays, president of Clear Channel, the parent company of the conservative talk show host's radio broadcast. The winning bidder will get the letter, the "Halliburton briefcase in which this letter is secured 24 hours a day;" a letter of thanks from Limbaugh and a picture of the talkmeister announcing the auction at a speech in Philadelphia delivered last Thursday.
"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."
Once and for all proving that even when you're a homely, short little fat guy with a lisp, if you get in on the ground floor of ANYTHING you can succeed if blessed with enough staying power.
Rush's show is all about Rush. He drives liberals insane (insane-ER) and because of this is worth his weight in gold. If you've just returned from a sojourn to the Andromeda Galaxy, his schtick will appear fresh and noteworthy, but even to die-hard, well informed Republicans, his offerings are deemed valuable for they educate those newly arrived to the principles of Conservatism. While not endowed with the chutzpah of a Coulter, he still knows how to twist the knife, too.
