Florida Passes State Bill Renaming Highway After Rush Limbaugh

[Norbert]

And why not. Rush was just as racist as the current governor and the state house.

Florida House of Representative passed a bill to rename a highway named after the late conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh.

The proposed bill will have Limbaugh’s name in Hernando County, Florida between highway U.S. 41 and S.R. 50/50A as “Rush Limbaugh Way.”

The bill was passed on 87-25 vote that had main opposition from the Democrats in the House...

14. At one time they wanted highway 27. Thank god that got turned down.

[Chipper Chat]

25. You know I used to actually listen to rush.

I thought he had some good points but when he called Chelsea Clinton the White House Dog that was a deal breaker.

[obamanut2012]

30. What good points did he have, because all of his points were RW?

[Casady1]

9. I got Rush thrown off of the Golf channel

He was on the Hank Haney show when he was working with celebrities. Rush had mocked Connie Chung by making fun of the way Chinese immigrants spoke English. I wrote 17 letters to the Golf Channel from the CEO to every sports personality. I figured my letters were ignored and then a a couple of months later my caller ID lit up with GOLF CHANNEL and I answered it. They said to me that they agreed with my letters and that Rush would never be on the Golf Channel again. When the rerun's came on he was not on the reruns.

38. Bazinga! 🎉 Wow, good for you! 😄 👏👏👏👏👏

Especially as an NYC'r from where he later broadcast from the "Flagship Station" WABC-AM.

10. The anti-woke, anti-gay, anti-drag queen republicans wish to 'honor' Rushbo who took someone else's

The anti-woke, anti-gay, anti-drag queen republicans wish to 'honor' Rushbo who took someone else's Viagra to a known child prostitution resort area.

[electric_blue68]

39. Ya know I'm not sure I knew that! Gak! Not in the US?

[keithbvadu2]

41. Dominican Republic

[electric_blue68]

42. Ohhhh, yeahhh - that sounds vaugely familiar. Ew! 😤 That is, him going there but not why

At least I didn't hear about it (why he was there) BUT all that could have happened (the rumours, info) getting out waaaay after I stopped listening to him*.

*not bc I liked, believed him, or anything. Yeeech, gak etc!

It was during a couple of the first years when Bill Clinton became President I was like listening to the enemy.
Also there was almost no liberal talkers back in NYC radio
then

[RegulatedCapitalistD]

11. This

[MissMillie]

12. "Big Fat Idiot Highway"?

A nod to Al Franken

[themaguffin]

15. Jesus, is that the breakout of the FL House? Ugh

[lees1975]

36. Elections have consequences.

If Democrats only vote every four years and states have legislative elections in midterm years, this is what happens.

45% of registered Democrats did not vote in Florida in 2022.

[spanone]

16. fuck florida and limbaugh

[pwb]

17. Is that the road with dead animals and blown out tires all over it?

Or is the one covered with sand and rotten oranges. ?

[ProudMNDemocrat]

18. Garbage Dump Highway.

That is all Rusty Limpballs was known for.

[Kid Berwyn]

19. NAZI Highway.

It’s a troll road.

[ecstatic]

22. This is crazy! What is wrong with those people?

It really is all about "owning the libs," isn't it? No concern about tackling real issues that affect real people. How long is this shit going to continue?

[jcgoldie]

27. yes no-one GAF about Rush Linbaugh

Its all about pissing off certain groups of people.

[Norbert]

23. Maybe DeSatan should also legalize Oxycodone for recreational use while he is at it

Then they could have vendors sell it at truck stops on the RL Highway. Make easier for dope fiends like Rush to acquire it.

[roamer65]

26. Oxycodone Highway to Hell?

[Hortensis]

29. Disgusting. Doubt many will be using this honorary designation for

this brief, undistinguished stretch of Brooksville's Cortez Blvd. Glad it's not in our "snowbird" county, though.

From a local rag:

"He stood for freedom and American excellence. His passing left a void in the conservative talk radio space that will never be filled. This road designation will remind people of his passion and love of country.” ...

“Rush Limbaugh graced Brooksville’s own WWJB for many years with a message of American freedom,” Brooksville Mayor Blake Bell said. “Limbaugh believed in democracy, capitalism and the First Amendment. It is only fitting for the state to honor this Floridian by naming a road after him in Brooksville.”

Limbaugh WAS a bloviating void.

31. I would sue the state for lowering my property values.

If I owned property on that roadway.

35. 🎸🎤🎵🎶"...the Highway to Hell, The Highway..."🎵

[Behind the Aegis]

37. Does it only have right turns that go into a ditch?

If you try to turn left, do "patriots" pop up from the median and "liberate" your car?

Are the mile markers stogies?

Are there going to be two sets of speed limits depending on the color of the driver?

Are the billboards going to be a parade of FOX ads, and things like "Abortion is Murder...unless you are my mistress? (The Herschel Walker Exemption)?

Is the highway to be divided by red lines, instead of white or yellow ones?

[electric_blue68]

40. 😄 These are good questions! (even if el Rushbo was a pos)

[DFW]

43. Republicans honoring Republican family values.

Brought to you once again by the death penalty promoters who call themselves „pro-life.“

[ZonkerHarris]

44. now you know where to dump the trash?

[Initech]

45. Florida just gets worse every single day!
