Gawker Is Planning On Giving Rush Limbaugh A Very Special Wedding Gift

The gift table at Rush Lumbaugh‘s wedding this weekend is probably going to be topped with the usual suspects – a blender, six or seven toasters, maybe even a crock pot. Not wanting to have their present go unnoticed in the pile of kitchen appliances, the folks at Gawker decided to get a little unorthodox with their token of appreciation for Limbaugh’s devoted friendship.

That’s why they hired a plane to fly a personally customized banner along the Palm Beach coast and directly over his home during the ceremony. How thoughtful!

Staff writer Adrian Chen posted the details of the flyby on the website early this morning, giving commenters until noon today to submit their congratulatory slogans, the best of which will be chosen to serenade Limbaugh and his new wife Kathryn Rogers from the sky. They must be profanity-free, under 45 characters (“This is about 1/3 of a tweet”), and witty enough to be deserving of the ad space. Some of the heartfelt wishes in the running include the following:

Love – the ultimate time release drug

Enjoy your happy life in Costa Rica!

This union cheapens my gay marriage

Oxycongratulatins for you and yours!

Glenn Beck approves this marriage

Though technically profanity free, most are a tad too colorful to repost. But with the deadline passed it’s just a matter of time before we get to see the lucky winner. I wonder, what Rush will put in the thank you card?

Mazal tov!

He told his listeners that he was taking off to get an Old English Sheepdog. Those Sheepdogs will attract beautiful women.. Good decision Rush.

Gawker is just a little pissed because Rush could buy and sell all of them put together.

Why is it that when somebody with Limbaugh’s views is attacked, purportedly liberal people almost ALWAYS make it PERSONAL??? This is his WEDDING!!! Leave the guy alone. He talks on the radio. I’ve actually listened to his program and, sure, he has funny bits about people in Washington and polks fun at them, but its not like he’s CRUEL. Some of these gawker people are just cruel. The closest thing to cruel that I ever heard on his show was this song about that openly gay congressman, Barney Frank, where some guy used that Abba tune, “Dancing Queen” and Limbaugh called him “The Banking Queen”. That’s all. So, I think you should just leave him alone.

@Paula: I’m sure that Limbaugh will take it in good humor. It probably won’t be cruel and one would think that not only will he laugh at their joke, but he’s probably eager to see what they say.

In the off chance that Mr. Limbaugh should read this posting, my wish for he and his wife is that they enjoy a life full of love, happiness, good health, and prosperity.

I could never imagine Limbaugh and his team doing something of this nature to any high profile liberal out there on his or her wedding day. I guess he has more class than the folks at Gawker.
