He he he...

I'm getting a kick out of this because the school involved is mad at the radio station for carrying the show during the inauguration, when it was actually their own fault for not doing their own research.

Edison School in Green Bay, WI, had the local radio tuned in to listen to the inauguration. What they didn't know was that the station, WTAQ, was providing coverage with commentary from Rush Limbaugh. The station received 12 complaints about the coverage, and thought that Limbaugh's comments were "disrespectful."

A few points:

1) Rush Limbaugh is not Howard Stern.

2) The school should have done their research before turning the radio to this particular station to see if there was going to be any commentary if they were going to play the radio over the PA system.

3) Listening to Limbaugh's show today, he pointed out that "the school is investigating." There's nothing to investigate - it's not like Limbaugh piped his voice into the school. He also pointed out that, if he really wanted to, he could "investigate" the school for copyright infringement for playing the show over the PA, but he chooses not to.

Listening to Limbaugh talk about it today is pretty funny. I liked the commentary -- I probalby woudn't have been able to tolerate the ceremonies without it.
