Courthouse Named After Rush Limbaugh, But It's Not as Bad as It Sounds

WASHINGTON -- Democrats joined Republicans on Monday in voting to name a Missouri courthouse after Rush H. Limbaugh Sr.

A thank-you gesture for the conservative radio host who has made a career of scourging Democrats and their liberal allies? Not quite.

The man whose name will be carved into the new federal courthouse in Cape Girardeau, Mo., was the commentator's grandfather, a prominent attorney and civic leader who died in 1996 at age 104 after practicing law for nearly 80 years. Before his death he was thought to be the oldest working lawyer in the country.

The measure was sponsored by Rep. Jo Ann Emerson, R-Mo., and almost all the members of the Missouri delegation, including Democrats Lacy Clay and Emanuel Cleaver. Limbaugh "will be remembered as a brilliant attorney and a great American," said Rep. Jim Oberstar, D-Minn., before the legislation was approved by voice vote.

Sen. Kit Bond, R-Mo., has introduced similar legislation in the Senate.

The radio host's father, the late Rush H. Limbaugh Jr., shared the law practice with his father. Limbaugh also has an uncle who is a U.S. district judge in Missouri and a cousin who serves on the Missouri Supreme Court.

There was no immediate comment from Limbaugh on the courthouse naming.

1. Oh, ok.

They should name a pharmacy after ol' limpwad.

[Laurier]

2. That would be fitting.

:rofl:

[HuskiesHowls]

3. Or a county jail....

[Gemini Cat]

7. Or a porta loo

Something for the freepers to guard during their counter demos.
The Rush Limbaugh Porta Loo of Poo.

[Old and In the Way]

4. Now that is really funny.

Good one! :toast:

[luckyleftyme2]

5. EXCELLENT

RFLMAO!! DRUG STORE !!HA HA

[Benhurst]

6. Randy old bastard. They should have named a free

vasectomy clinic after him.

8. If they want to name something after Limbaugh, how about something equally full of shit?

The Rush Limbaugh Landfill.

[Laurier]

9. That would be entirely fitting, too!

:rofl:

[Initech]

10. Better - The Rush Limbaugh Sewage Treatment Plant

[Laurier]

11. Perhaps an entire line of era-appropriate designations...

the "Limbaugh Chamber Pot"

the "Limbaugh Outhouse"

the "Limbaugh Privy"

the "Limbaugh Indoor Commode"

the "Limbaugh Flush Toilet"

the "Limbaugh Bidet"

... the possibilities are endless :)

And I can't help but think of the eternal question, "Does a Limbaugh bear shit in the woods?"

12. I always assumed "Rush" to be a radio name.

Goes back two generations in that family I guess though...

[Laurier]

13. Yeah, now that you mention it,

I always thought it was a nickname or something, too, not an actual real life name.

I mean, who in hell names their kid "Rush"?
