Look How Well That Rush Boycott Worked

Media Matters’ boycott of Rush Limbaugh worked so well that today the radio personality was inducted into the Hall of Famous Missourians. 

… Rush Limbaugh — or rather, a bronze bust of the conservative radio host — will be inducted into the Missouri Capitol’s “Hall of Famous Missourians.”

The hall, located in a rotunda of the capitol, features busts of President Harry Truman, Walter Cronkite, Mark Twain, Walt Disney and George Washington Carver.According to the Kansas City Star, House Speaker Steve Tilley, a Republican, selected Limbaugh for the honor, and his bust will be financed by the the Speaker’s Annual Golf Classic.

Since the astroturfed ploy to extricate Limbaugh from the airwaves, the world-famous talker has seen an increase in ratings.
