Description: I know he's done well for himself, he's played a big part in the political landscape all across the nation and had a pretty profound impact on our nation. |
Limbaugh recently gained national attention after calling a law student a 'slut' for speaking in favor of the birth control mandate.
A Democrat from St. Louis, Jamilah Nasheed, condemned the decision to honor Limbaugh, calling it a "slap in the face" to women across the state.
