Corey, congratulations on winning a Marconi. That’s something to tell your grandkids about some day. Be careful about picking on El Rushbo, though. Rush won a Marconi at the tender age of 22 for “Best Major Market Evening Talent” in 1973, working for KQV-AM in Pittsburgh. Limbaugh isn’t above making a mistake - heck, we all do on occasion. However, he richly deserves his due!
