Ron Williams Calls in Rush Limpbaugh To Save Limp Fundraiser
The Gridiron Dinner & Show is an annual horrible train wreck in which clubby backslapping insiders pay $150 for cocktails and the privilege of listening to Delaware pols lampooned half-heartedly by having their names inserted into the song “Don’t Cry for Me Argentina” from the 1978 musical Evita. Hilarious!
If that does not sound horrible enough for you – Rush Limbaugh is a special (by video) guest.
(Rush) Limbaugh has done a taped introduction to the roast of Delaware politicians and business leaders for several years now. This one promises to be a show stopper — before the show even starts — by the recently described de facto leader of the Republican Party.
Oh boy!
Granted, raising money for scholarships for senior communications majors at Delaware State and University of Delaware is a worthy cause – but unless the admission includes metal spikes that I can drive into my eyes and ears, count me out.
It’s actually a really great event and most importantly, goes to a good cause. I think you’ve missed the mark on this one.
Seriously? I don’t see a link. Snark? I can’t even tell anymore.
Sorry LaNuit but the Mike Castle/Tom Carper love fest is too much for my weak constitution.
To each his own though. Have fun.
I could not make myself listen to Rush Limbaugh even for a great event for a good cause.
Lobbyist used to buy up the tickets for this and spread them around to electeds. Remember the scandal over Diana McWilliams going on a lobbyist-paid ticket? I think there is less of this these days. Thank you Karen Peterson and John Kowalko. And you too Mike Barbieri for unseating Spence and the cozy culture for lobbyists in the House.
