Taxpayers Foot the Bill to Protect Rush Limbaugh Statue in Missouri

There's been a lot of human-on-statue violence this week. Could Rush be next?

Make a move against that new Rush Limbaugh statue in Missouri's capitol and you're liable to taste the hard justice of baton-wielding security guards.

That's because the keepers of the statue, located in the Jefferson City building's Hall of Famous Missourians, have installed a security camera that gazes perpetually upon Fake Rush's beaming, yet creepily empty-eyed head. All available reports indicate that no other metal Missourian in the chamber requires such constant monitoring, not even John Ashcroft. And the $1,100-plus cost of the camera is being funded by the state's taxpayers, whether they agree with the radio commentator's controversial takes on sluts and ethnic people or not.
