I posted about Rush Limbaugh auctioning off the letter signed by 41 Democratic senators demanding that he be somehow punished by his employers for a phony "scandal" whipped up by Media Mendacity Matters for America. The letter is being auctioned on eBay and is attracting some amazing bids. As of this writing, the bidding stands at $142,100. What's more, Limbaugh has promised to match the winning bid and turn all the proceeds over to the Marine Corps-Law Enforcement Foundation charity that Limbaugh has supported for years now.
Benefiting the Marine Corps – Law Enforcement Foundation, which helps the children of fallen soldiers and federal law enforcement officers, the eBay auction will wrap up in just over a day. Limbaugh will match the final figure dollar- for- dollar.
And the event has been so successful that it seems certain others in talk radio will want to give this concept a try, should a similar opportunity present itself.
This is one sweet batch of lemonade. Lawhawk wonders (well, actually he really doesn't wonder at all) if the Democrats will rise to Limbaugh's challenge and meet his matching offer. As if.
Last I checked it was $851,000.
Holy shnikeys!
Current bid: US $851,100.00
Most of a million dollars. Be talking some real money here soon.
$850,000??? Can we abbreviate that “1 Hsu?”
Meanwhile, the MSM – which was all over this “story” when Media Matters first leveled the bogus charges – are suddenly and mysteriously AWOL.
Come to think of it – they did the same with the US military’s success in Iraq! Gee…do you think this is the beginning of a trend?
The bid is at $1,200,100.00, as of 9:15 pm PDT.
Over 2,000,0000 now. Incredible. Talk about turning a negative into a positive!
IF it is not a false bid-up. Which, given the sudden jumps, I am not sure of. It is supposed to be pre-approved bidders only, but eBay has been spoofed before.
Gaius,
It certainly is possible that a spoof bid is going on, but I also suspect that Rush might donate a match of the high bid even before the spoof is removed – just to prove a point.
I see the nutcases at Democrat Underground are trying to get the auction stopped. Item is described with racist hatespeech or some such BS. LGF has a link.
