Camera protects Rush Limbaugh's bust - but not lawmakers

Gotta love the priorities in Jefferson City.

It appears the wigged out Republicans there think someone’s going to deface the new bust of conservative talk-radio host Rush Limbaugh.

From an ABC News story:

“A security camera, which was installed specifically for Limbaugh’s bust, will provide 24-hour surveillance of the statue, said Trevor Fox, the House’s director of communications. Limbaugh’s statue, which stands between those of 19th century painter George Bingham and former Missouri Gov. Warren Hearnes, is the only statue in the Missouri House’s Hall of Fame that has its own security camera.”

Just how does one deface something already too grotesque for words? Maybe in this case, lipstick on a pig would be an improvement.

Anyone can walk in many different doors. Anyone carrying a gun. Anyone carrying a bomb. There's NO security. Just a guy sitting in a booth by the parking garage.

But Rush's statue has a 24/7 security camera.

Just insane.
