This is too good to be true.

From Amazon - "Nationally syndicated radio talk-show host Rush Limbaugh has long wanted to make American history come to life for the children of his listeners, so he created the character of a fearless middle-school history teacher named Rush Revere, who travels back in time and experiences American history as it happens, in adventures with exceptional Americans. In this book, he is transported back to the deck of the Mayflower."

Amazon.com: Rush Revere and the Brave Pilgrims: Time-Travel Adventures with Exceptional Americans (9781476755861): Rush Limbaugh: Books

The book isn't even out till October 29 and it's already Amazon's #1 bestselling book.

Forget Syria libs, Obama blew it. Back to good ole Rush bashing. While he makes a fortune.

Is Rush Revere going to, "you know, warn the British that they weren't going to be taking away our arms, by ringing those bells and making sure, as he is riding his horse through town, to send those warning shots and bells, that we were going to be secure and we were going to be free."

I certainly hope he has at least three arms, what with riding the horse, ringing bells and firing warning shots.

Too bad Rush isn't donating the proceeds of his children's book to a good cause like a scholarship fund for the children of fallen and disabled soldiers, as Obama did with his children's book "Of Thee I Sing."

And you know that he isn't?
"Two If By Tea" sponsors the Marine Corps Law Enforcement Foundation.
He also raises huge amounts with the "EIB Cure-a-Thon" to fight Leukemia and Lymphoma.

"Rush" and "fearless" do not mix. Isn't this the guy who skipped out on Vietnam over a pilonidal cyst?

The OP said he was "going to make a fortune" from the book, not make a fortune and give it away. Take it up with the OP if he is incorrect.

Oh yes indeed. He dodged the draft by claiming he had a cyst on his butt.

Typical Limbaugh. He makes up a fake character to put himself in historical situations, but when Uncle Sam called so he could take part in real-life history with his fellow Americans he was nowhere to be seen.

We've got two Cabinet members who were boots on the ground in Vietnam and they get called names but the hero of the right was a draft dodger.
