re: Favorite Rush Moments

#1: On one of the earlier shows, he got a call from a Louisiana guy who gave him “Coonass dittos.” Rush immediately took the guy off the air and had one of those conversations where you could hear him but not the caller. Rush got the explanation of what a coonass was and let the guy come back on the air after explaining that what the guy said was a Cajun, not a racial slur.

#2: My mother never broke a law or did an unethical thing in her life. In the very early days of the show, I told her and my dad about Rush. They were on a driving vacation through Missouri and passed through Cape Girardeau. They stopped at a phone booth and tore the page out of the phone book with all the Limbaugh family phone numbers and gave it to me. I’m certain she thought the law would come after her.
