Despite the uproar against conservative radio giant Rush Limbaugh for his choice of words last week when referring to a 30-year-old contraception advocate, the Missouri State Capitol will be honoring Limbaugh with a bust of his likeness in the Hall of Famous Missourians.
E. Spencher Schubert, a Kansas City, Mo. sculptor, announced on his website in mid-February that he was working on a bust of Missouri-native Limbaugh for the Hall.
On Monday afternoon, Republican Missouri House Speaker Steve Tilley confirmed that Limbaugh — along with Dred Scott — will have his bust placed in the Missouri State Capitol, the Southeast Missourian reported.
According to Tilley, the uproar over Limbaugh’s words about the contraception advocate will not prevent the talker from being in the hall of fame.
“Keep this in mind: It’s not called the Hall of Universally Loved Missourians,” Tilley said.”We’ve inducted people like John Ashcroft, Warren Hearnes and Harry Truman. They certainly had their detractors.”

Hey, I love Missouri [although we moved to Louisiana when I was 6 months old] in the summer of 1934.
I was born in Silva, a suburb of Greenville which has a population of 370 friendly people, and 2 old grouches.
God bless Missouri,[and all the other 49 States] and may we be worthy of His blessings!
Rush will be the 3/3 next to Dred.
No doubt the “ladies” in pink will be waiting to greet him.
Prayers up for Rush.
