JEFFERSON CITY, MO (KTVI)-Mark Twain, Dred Scott, Jack Buck, Stan Musial and now, Rush Limbaugh. The conservative talk show host from Cape Girardeau was inducted into the Hall of Famous Missourians in the Missouri House Chamber Monday afternoon.
Missouri House Speaker, Steve Tilley, a Republican who represents the Farmington area, arranged the event, giving a less than a one hour advance notice to the public, including news media and potential political opponents.
“Less than 40 minutes,” said Assistant House Minority Leader, State Rep. Tishaura Jones of St. Louis.
FOX 2, which is more than a 2 hour drive from the capitol, received notice less than 30 minutes before the unveiling of Limbaugh’s bust.
