RWN's First Mention On The Rush Limbaugh Show

RWN's First Mention On The Rush Limbaugh Show

Folks, today was the greatest day of my entire political blogging career so far. I've been mentioned in the Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, CNN and Time. I've been on the air with Tammy Bruce. I've interviewed Senators, Congressmen, and some of the biggest names in conservatism. I've had really big traffic days. But, today, to the best of my knowledge, was the first time RWN has ever been mentioned on the Rush Limbaugh show.

This is a big deal to me and not just because Rush is such a popular talk show host or the most important figure in the conservative movement over the last 25 years other than Reagan. I first listened to Rush during my college years, when I was essentially apolitical, but looking to learn more about politics. And it was Rush Limbaugh, as much as anyone, who was responsible for why I became a conservative. Furthermore, it was his example that helped inspire me to create a political blog in the first place. If Rush Limbaugh had never been born, Right Wing News probably wouldn't exist.

So, it was very sweet indeed to be in the car, listening, when Rush mentioned the Answering 13 Frequently Asked Questions About Illegal Immigration post, that I made earlier this week, on the air today. It's even sweeter that the transcript made it onto his website tonight.
Here's are the relevant portions (You can also listen to this at the link above):

I have a suggestion for all these 'business people' out there. PAY A DECENT WAGE AND YOU WON'T HAVE TO IMPORT ILLEGALS TO DO THE WORK! Oh wait I forgot that would reduce profits and we can't have that!

I've mentioned before that this nation is being sold right out from under our feet. Let the market seek its own level, that's the way capitalism works. Of course you only have to look at the oil industry to see where competition is a thing of the past.

Oh and Rush is an entertainer and that should be taken into account on any of his views/comments.
