Notifying Rush is a great idea. There must be a FReeper who knows Rush personally and can contact him.
I would love to notify Rush but ironically on a personal, not political, matter. I would like to thank Rush for teaching my wife (from Venezuela) English. When we first got together she had a hard time learning English. She even moved to Tuscaloosa, Alabama because she figured everybody there speaks English and she would be forced to learn. However, when she arrived in Alabama, most of the people in her neighborhood only spoke Spanish. So when she returned to Florida, I told her to listen to Rush Limbaugh on the radio because he speaks so clearly, not because of politics because my wife is completely apolitical. Well, it worked. She did learn English quite well from listening to Rush but with a few strange quirks like saying stuff like "Bienvenidos from the fruited plain." Or "Por favor, don't act like a mind-numbed robot!" when I am doing something stupid.
She actually wanted to go to Rush's home and thank him in person for teaching her English but I told her you just can't drive up to Rush's home and knock on the door.
