Kirk got the Medal of Freedom. The MOH is for the military.

No one even remembers, much less celebrates, Rush Limbaugh five years later. Kirk will also be consigned to the dustbin of history.

They may bring out his embalmed corpse every year just to keep the hype going. Every time I turn around the dead clown’s name is being mentioned by one MAGAT or another. He may go back on tour in a glass box in that traveling freak show.

Come to think of it, that's perfectly appropriate for the Trump administration.
