Missouri lawmakers consider day to honor Rush Limbaugh

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) _ 

Missouri lawmakers are considering setting aside a day each January to honor the 

late Rush Limbaugh. The Cape Girardeau native gained national fame before he 

died in February at age 70 after a battle with cancer. A Missouri Senate 

committee debated legislation Tuesday to designate Jan. 12, Limbaugh's birthday, 

as "Rush Limbaugh Day." Supporters said Limbaugh was a conservative icon 

worthy of the honor and opponents said his rhetoric was divisive. The bill 

awaits a vote in the Senate General Laws Committee. A similar proposal is 

pending in the House.
