John Cusack To Portray Rush Limbaugh In Film

Rush Feuds With NBC’s Brian Williams

Rush Limbaugh will be the subject of an upcoming movie from actor and filmmaker John Cusack. The conservative radio host has never shied away from attention but it could be tough for him to see his likeness portrayed by an actor who has been outspoken about his liberal views.

Director Betty Thomas told the Associated Press she’s finishing up the film’s script, and production will start in 2013. The working title is “Rush.”

Limbaugh, 61, has yet to comment on the news, according to ibtimes.com.  

Cusack has been vocal about his critical views toward President Bush and President Obama’s policy of drone warfare in the Middle East.

Limbaugh has been in the news of late for his recent sparring match with NBC news anchor Brian Williams. Limbaugh attacked New Jersey Governor Chris Christie for working together with President Obama in the Hurricane Sandy relief efforts.

Williams said on his show “Rock Center” that Limbaugh went too far by being too critical of the Obama administration after the devastation Sandy caused.
