The sculpture is currently being made by sculptor E. Spencer Shubert, and, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, is being paid for by private funds raised by the Speaker of the Missouri House.

Limbaugh, a native of Cape Girardeau, Missouri,will be inducted into the hall in May.

What DATE and TIME do the buses leave for the riots ( ‘scuse me) “peaceful demonstrations” against Limbaugh’s receiving of this great honor? How far in advance should we get our packing crates and tents ready?
Of course, this is sarcasm, but I bet it’ll come true.
