Rush Limbaugh, Girlfriend Pledge $100,000 Toward Holiday Decorations (Rush Saves Christmas!)
Palm Beach Daily News ^ | Tuesday, October 13, 2009 | William Kelly

Conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh and girlfriend Kathryn Rogers have promised the town $100,000 toward the cost of new holiday decorations.

The gift is part of $350,000 in private donations pledged by a few town residents, Town Council President David Rosow said at Tuesday's council meeting.

Limbaugh wanted to help bring "brightness and cheer" to a town he dearly loves, said Rosow, who is a friend of Limbaugh's.

Rosow solicited the donations to cover the entire cost of the new lights and garlands, and installation of wiring to support them.

"No one I called said 'no,' " Rosow said. "Everyone I spoke to said, 'This is great.' "

Rosow has said he couldn't justify spending more than $300,000 to celebrate the holidays in a year when the council expected town employees to do without raises, and trimmed their health benefits.

Rosow himself tossed in $25,000, which in turn prompted Councilman Robert Wildrick on Tuesday to pledge another $25,000.

The plan calls for annual leasing of LED lights to wrap around palms, and purchase of garland for light poles on County Road, Worth Avenue, Royal Palm Way and Royal Poinciana Way.

She’s 31, not 13.

I think he goes for all of the wrong “qualities” in women. He should have married me years ago.

I heard him first!

I love Rush, but man the dude has had awful luck with women in his life.

Looks worth the risk to me.

Plus, they’re young enough to reproduce!

My father is 78 and is engaged to a woman that just turned 50.

Good for him! But I was not commenting on their age difference. I was commenting on that disturbing picture of Rush, looking like a fat, sweaty, small-handed, premature ejaculator type, greedily clutching his new prize who probably only wants him for his money. I'm sure your dad is a fine man.

Limbaugh and Styne (?) are my favorite conservative talk show hosts. Rush’s accuracy when it comes to facts is “almost always 98% accurate”. So he’s an excellent source for that kind of thing. That said, there is little doubt, IMHO, that Rush has an ego and loves his celebrity status. I would imagine he is very difficult to live with.
