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:

Embrace the Irk, WaPo.
Yeah, because Obama recipients Warren Buffet and Emilio Estefan were so much more deserving!
I also was an AVID listener in the Clinton years LOVED those songs he had they were hysterical I believe Rush will pull through this he is a FIGHTER!!! We need a divine intervention and only VERY STRONG prayers from all of us will get this!!!
Nelson haha
Also little noted is that Rush single-handedly saved AM radio and perhaps even broadcast radio as well
It worked.
Not to mention a serious alternate voice in a sea of leftist gruel.
I prefer to say, “Sticks his thumb in the way of all the right people”. Either way, it is AWESOME :)
Went looking at the long list of past recipients. I see that Hillary Clinton is not on the list. Another thing she probably has a slow burn about.
