It really, really bothered Washington Post deputy editor of the "Morning Mix" feature, Timothy Bella, that Rush Limbaugh received the Presidential Medal of Freedom on Tuesday during President Donald Trump's State of the Union address. It irked him so much that in his long article he kept returning over and over to the theme that Limbaugh was somehow not worthy of the award in comparison to others who received it.
The very title of Bella's article, "Rush Limbaugh joins the likes of Mother Teresa and Rosa Parks as recipient of highest civilian honor," even suggested that he was not as worthy as those others. That was followed by the same suggestion that Limbaugh did not really deserve the award right at the top of Bella's story and continued from there:

Tom Hanks

..were somehow more deserving. I guess.
That’s one of my favorite things about Trump.
He cheeses-off ALL THE RIGHT PEOPLE!
When the bad guys are mad you know you did the right thing. P. S. FUWP
Hater’s gotta hate.
Enimedia.
Joe Biden as well
Bill Cosby
GREAT to be in the land of the FREE, and have the right to express your mind. I think Rush did a LOT for America and for Freedom. Washington Post, has done VERY little for Freedom, nice to know that they want to control all of the news outlets and it BETTER be in line with their slant.
I’m sure they said squat when the great moral leaders Ellen DeGeneres and Robert DeNiro received the same award.
Obama gave one to Joe Biden.
Awww...are they jealous?
Go F yourself. I am irked you are still breathing
That splattering all over the walls came from liberals’ heads exploding. There simply was not enough duct tape to prevent that from happening.
Love him or hate him, Rush Limbaugh is perhaps the most influential person EVER not elected to political office nor elevated within the hierarchy of any organization bearing great moral authority. He did it all on gentle (or maybe sometimes NOT so gentle) persuasion and by a merry dance through words to make a point that many have felt in their bones, but could never express in words. Even those who disagreed with him, still reluctantly conceded the points he made, if ever they actually chose to listen to Rush, and not what somebody else SAID about Rush.
And what the heck, he really made some converts, some of whom were even MORE enthusiastic than Rush, and the word kept right on spreading like ripples in a pond.
I AM IRKED THAT THE EDITOR’S WIFE IS SO UGLY.
Nothing against Mother Theresa or Rosa Parks, but I’m not aware of what if anything either did to limit the size and reach of government. That’s the definition of freedom and it IS a Medal of Freedom, correct?
Hmmm
Also Lorne Michaels and Gloria Steinem....
I hope he loses sleep over it for years....................
