The respected Claremont Institute will honor Rush Limbaugh in Los Angeles later this month.

The Institute will award the radio talk show host with its 2003 "Statesmanship Award” at its annual Winston S. Churchill dinner in Los Angeles.

Brian Kennedy, President of Claremont, wrote, "Few Americans in recent memory have done more on a daily basis to sustain and invigorate a healthy public opinion in this country than Mr. Limbaugh, known fondly to us all as ‘Rush.’"

Kennedy continued: "In an overwhelmingly liberal media, Rush has brought to unprecedented millions of listeners a conservative point of view, year in and year out, on virtually every significant issue, trenchantly, intelligently, wittily, and inimitably. The buoyancy and optimism that infuse all of Rush's commentary, the unfailing good cheer in a good cause that uplifts the spirits of conservative millions every day, are reminiscent of the irrepressible spirit of the man whose life we gather here annually to celebrate, Sir Winston Churchill.”

Past recipients of the prestigious Statesmanship Award have included Ronald Reagan, Margaret Thatcher, Milton Friedman, Clarence Thomas, Caspar Weinberger, and William Buckley.

A pretty elite group, although I am not a huge Buckley fan.

There could be few more eloquent testimonies to the success of Mr. Limbaugh in broadening and strengthening conservative public opinion in America than the deep fear and loathing he inspires among big-government, politically correct, blame-America-first liberals. Few if any since Ronald Reagan have had the honor of being more doggedly hated and feared by America's liberal elite than Rush Limbaugh. And the reasons are the same—Rush's staunch opposition to liberal cultural tyranny and tax and spend government, and his unblushing conviction that America is a good and great country that does not need the permission of the United Nations to defend itself against its enemies." http://www.claremont.org/events/030803churchill.html
