At the end of a ceremony that mixed personal remembrance of Rush Hudson Limbaugh Sr. and allusions to the difficulties of constructing the building named in his honor, family members and dignitaries cut the ribbon at Cape Girardeau's new federal courthouse.
The building is a fitting tribute to Limbaugh, said his son, retired U.S. District Judge Stephen N. Limbaugh Sr. His expressed hope is that his father's devotion to the law will inspire the attorneys who practice there. "He lived it, he breathed it," Limbaugh Sr. said. "He loved it and it was his virtual life."
As he spoke of his grandfather, Stephen Limbaugh Jr. recalled his work ethic, which kept him at his desk six days a week almost to the end of his life in 1996 at age 104, and his example of respect for others and clients, regardless of their ability to pay.
"He taught a course in civility like he taught a course in work ethic," Limbaugh said.

Rush definitely gets a pass for not showing up for work at the EIB today ;o) Congratulations to the entire Limbaugh family.

Thanks for posting, LV. I heard Rush talking about this on Friday. What a great American family they are, the Limbaughs. We are blessed.
Now, someone get busy chiselling his visage on Mt. RUSH-more...:^).

Rush, PLEASE start talking about Odinga.

How about Obama openly campaigning for his communist cousin Odinga who signed a pact with Muslims to enact Sharia Law if elected and started riots when he lost. Obama campaigned for an openly Anti-American candidate in a foreign country in 2006 at taxpayer expense.
