Rush Limbaugh decided to prematurely cut off one of his
radio show callers Wednesday after the man brought up some troubling stories
from the host’s past.
According to Mediaite, the call began under the guise of
advocating for Limbaugh to receive a Presidential Medal of Freedom, but before
long the caller was talking about that time the host “exchanged shoe boxes of
cash for narcotics.”
In an attempt to highlight similar honors Limbaugh has
received in the past, the caller brought up a bust of the host that now resides
in the Hall of Famous Missourians. “That, and you can correct me if I’m wrong,”
the caller said, “came after you exchanged shoe boxes of cash for narcotics in Florida , something that
most people go to jail for–decades for mandatory minimums. They gave you a
statue! I mean, you imported drugs into America
with the Viagra deal down in Florida …”
At this point, Limbaugh cut his caller off, saying, “Oh, no
sir. See you are a victim of, once again, totally distorted media reporting.”
He commended the “first half of your call,” during which the man highly praised
the host, as “exactly right.” But as for the accusations about drugs, that
portion was “filled with the usual leftist, bigotry, hatred and gibberish. And
you don’t have the slightest idea what you are talking about!”
And, that was
the end of that call.
