As I wrote about back in March, Rush Limbaugh was nominated for the Children’s Book Council Choice Awards in the Author of the Year category.  This caused a lot of wailing on the part of the media.  Rush now has two books out in his “Rush Revere” series, and his first book, Rush Revere and the Brave Pilgrims, was the book that earned him the nomination.

Last night, the winners were announced.

Conservative radio commentator Rush Limbaugh won the “Author of the Year Award” at the Children’s Choice Book Awards for his book Rush Revere and The Brave Pilgrims: Time-Travel Adventures with Exceptional Americans, in which Rush Revere and a talking horse named Liberty travel back in time to visit the pilgrims. …

In accepting the honor, Limbaugh said, “I love America. I wish everybody did. I hope everybody will. It’s one of the most fascinating stories in human history…and it’s a delight and it’s an opportunity to try to share that story with young people so they can grow and learn to love and appreciate the country in which they’re growing up and will someday run and lead and inherit.”

If you want some entertainment, just read the comments sections on the articles reporting Rush’s win.  They are… amusing, to say the least.

Congratulations to Rush Limbaugh on his well-deserved win!
