Rush Limbaugh Bust Protest: Women's Group Sends Toilet Paper To GOP House Speaker

[Playinghardball]

The National Organization for Women (NOW) is using a new weapon in the fight against a bust of Rush Limbaugh slated for display in the Missouri capitol: toilet paper.

According to the Associated Press, the Missouri chapter of the women's group sent hundreds of rolls of toilet paper on Monday to Steven Tilley, the Republican state House Speaker, encouraging him to "flush Rush". On March 5, Tilley made the decision to induct Limbaugh in the Hall of Famous Missourians, which features busts of prominent Missourians in the statehouse.

"He doesn't respect women, and we need to make sure that half of Missouri's population is respected by someone in the Hall of Famous Missourians," Jamie Tomek, the president of NOW's Missouri chapter, told the AP.

News of the bust broke as Limbaugh was embroiled in controversy over his derogatory remarks about Georgetown Law student Sandra Fluke. After the radio host called Fluke a "slut" and "prostitute" for her support of the Obama administration's rules on contraception access, many Missouri Democrats argued that he was unsuited for recognition in the Hall. Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.) and Gov. Jay Nixon (D) opposed Limbaugh's bust, while 48 others signed a letter urging Tilley to reconsider Limbaugh's inclusion.

1. A bust of a boob

[gratuitous]

2. I thought AG Ashcroft took care of that

Draping the figure of Justice so that he didn't have to be distracted during press conferences.

3. They should email him about Rush's history of sex tourism. So they'll know what they're honoring.

And drug crimes, etc. The guy will use the concept of donated TP to claim the state shouldn't have to buy any to reduce the deficit and do more privatization. IMHO.
