Democrat lawmakers had a collective meltdown as the Florida House passed a bill containing a provision to name a road after conservative radio icon Rush Limbaugh.
The bill was originally intended to honor former astronaut Sally Ride, the first American woman to fly in space.
Amendments led to a total of 19 roads and bridges being named in honor of people, many of them serving as memorials to fallen police officers.
The bill (HB 21) designates the “portion of Cortez Boulevard between U.S. 41 and S.R. 50/50A in Hernando County” as “Rush Limbaugh Way.”
Representative Tyler Sirois (R) noted that Limbaugh was well known for having donated “millions of dollars in charity” and “passed away in Palm Beach of lung cancer.”

Democrats Livid About ‘Rush Limbaugh Way’
The Florida Standard reports that Democrats were “furious” over HB 21 allowing for the designation of Rush Limbaugh Way.
Representative Bruce Antone (D) said he had listened to Limbaugh during Operation Desert Storm and was appalled by the “feminazis” jokes and the “racist remarks.”
Apparently locating the radio dial or the power button at the time was too difficult for Mr. Antone.
“I’ve just got a real problem designating a road after a racist,” he added.
