No votes were taken on either bill on Tuesday. “I agreed with him, but I sure didn’t like the way he went about it,” Rehder said. Limbaugh was an acquired taste, she said. “The first time my husband slept on the couch, it was an argument over the Rush Limbaugh Show,” Rehder said. In her presentations, Rehder said the first time she heard Limbaugh on the radio she was offended and had a fight with her husband over what he said. It does, however, encourage participation “in appropriate events and activities to remember the life of the famous Missourian and groundbreaking radio host.” The late radio host Rush Limbaugh, born in Cape Girardeau, is one of the personalities whose bust is in the Hall of Famous Missourians in the Capitol Building. Schools, government offices and banks would remain open. The bill creating a day to honor Limbaugh does not create a new state holiday.

Holly Rehder, R-Sikeston, promoted the bills Tuesday in public hearings in two Senate committees. 12, would be celebrated each year as Rush Limbaugh Day.

Rush Limbaugh, the late lightning-rod radio host whose success spawned many imitators of his slashing style, would be honored with a road and a day under two bills sponsored by a lawmaker who represents his hometown.Ī six-mile stretch of Interstate 55 in Cape Girardeau would become the Rush Limbaugh Memorial Highway.
