JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (KMOV.com) -- There's a push in Jefferson City by Republican lawmakers to make a "Rush Limbaugh Day" an annual celebration in the State of Missouri.

Cape Girardeau native, Rush Limbaugh, 70, passed away Wednesday after fighting lung cancer. He worked for 32 years in the radio industry as a conservative radio host.

Rep. Hardy Billington, R-Poplar Bluff, filed HB 1200 Friday that would designate January 12, Limbaugh's birthday, as "Rush Limbaugh Day" in the state.

"Rush Limbaugh's contributions to broadcasting and the conservative movement cannot be overstated. He was, simply put, a legend who cannot be replaced," said Rep. Billington. "This is one way we can recognize the outstanding impact Rush Limbaugh has had on our state and country."

8. Fucking Misery!

So glad I left!

[Grokenstein]

9. Look on the bright side, everyone

You can celebrate Fuck Limbaugh Day however you wish.

Say, with a weeklong remembrance of his greatest quotes, or a reenactment of the time a disguised bottle of dick-up pills was found in his luggage on return from a trip without his wife. Interview still-living media figures who thought his Chelsea Clinton or Sandra Fluke attacks were just awesome.

Never forget, and never let anyone whitewash his "legacy." Make Ol' Hardy-Har-Har regret his little suck-up move.

[UpInArms]

[heckles65]

18. The guy lived his famous years in Palm Beach Florida

...and died there. Probably hadn't set foot in Missouri for decades. Somebody want to tell me again how conservatives love "flyover country" so much?

They want to make a holiday after a famous Missourian, make it for Harry Truman. Who did die there.

19. I know a better way to recognize the impact Limpballs had on this country

Expunge his name and image from everything, everywhere.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

21. Can't we just call it "Ku Klux Klan" day? nt

[hunter]

22. To be celebrated each year by throwing his grease soaked tobacco stuffed effigy on a bonfire...

... in the town square.

[JohnnyRingo]

24. How about "Walter Cronkite Day"

He was a real journalist instead of an obnoxious clown shock DJ, and he too was born in the Show Me State.

Also Dick Gregory and TS Eliot. Even Chuck Berry would be more worthy of a memorial day. Trump had a word for this kind of political hackery: "disgusting", though admittedly he didn't know many words. LOL

[dalton99a]

25. Heck, why not? He's got a statue in the state Capitol:

House Speaker Steve Tilley unveils statue of talk show host Rush Limbaugh

[Yeehah]

followed by a visit to oxyboy's grave.
