Rush, "Jump!" GOP, "How High?!!!"


From College Football News


Two weeks ago, Rush Limbaugh, the popular talk radio host and conservative icon, was taking a walk outside of his home in West Palm Beach when he struck up a conversation with two people wearing Florida Gators t-shirts. During the brief chat, one of the fans asked Limbaugh who he thought would be the right person to steer the Republican Party in the right direction.

Limbaugh, a die-hard football fan who spent a stint as a studio personality for ESPN’s Sunday Countdown, jokingly quipped that he thought Tim Tebow would be the perfect choice.
