What conservative radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh and sultry and dancer Josephine Baker have in common?
The former is set to join the recent Hall of Famous Missourians Jefferson City.
The Cape Girardeau, Mo. native to the advertisers lose his denigrating comments in a Washington, DC law student, but the $ 10,000 bronze bust of Limbaugh may soon be among other major Show Me State residents, including Harry Truman, Laura Ingalls Wilder and Bob Barker.
Although the Missouri House Democrats complained Tuesday that honorific Limbaugh in the rotunda of the state Senate could be seen as an implicit support for his "misogynistic attitudes," House Speaker Steven Tilley insists the plan is continued, the funds for a statue erected to the speaker, an annual golf tournament.
"I knew that some people do not like him, but there are a lot of people in the Hall of Famous Missourians, that was not the most popular man and it was controversial circumstances" Tilley told The Associated Press.
Tilley said he decided about three months ago, choose Limbaugh, noting that he is the world's best known radio personalities, and that is called the Hall of Famous Missourians - not in the Hall "Missourians universally beloved."
Democrats said to fame, the recognition is not enough, and if it would be outlaws Frank and Jesse James is right. (Though they're not in the Hall of Famous Missourians, the robbers are represented in the Capitol - thanks to a controversial mural to another rookie, Thomas Hart Benton.)
Despite an apology, Limbaugh show has lost more than 30 advertisers because of his comments of 30 years Sandra Fluke Georgetown student who testified in addition to health policy, which encourages him to a Jesuit college health plans to cover contraceptives.
