Hitler was Time's Man of the Year one year. Of course, the difference is that those men's histories weren't already known when they received their awards. We know all we need to know about Limbaugh.

It's merely recognition of someone having great influence - good OR bad - in any given year. Hitler wasn't honored for good deeds - No, not at all.

Medal of Freedom is a whole other animal.
