Apparently, somebody in Baltimore isn't a fan of Rush Limbaugh.

A large billboard advertising local air times for the conservative radio talk-show host has been defaced.

Robert Murrow, a spokesman for the city's Department of Public Works, saw the vandalism as he drove to work this morning on I-83 near the Guilford Avenue exit. He called The Sun, saying that someone had poured paint on the image of Limbaugh's face.

Limbaugh, who is nationally syndicated, can be heard on WCBM 680 AM from noon to 3 p.m.

"It looks like they took globs of paint and threw it on his face. It looks great. It did my heart good," said Murrow, who admittedly is not a Limbaugh fan.

1. Hannity and Colmes now have their lead story for tonight.

4. When a Pro Gay billboard is defaced its freedom of speech

When Rush's mug is defaced its called Vandalism! Ah, such double standards. Those who were cheering about the Gay billboard a couple weeks ago are no doubt furious over this episode! 2 Sets of rules!

5. Colmes: "I'm appalled that anyone would do this!"

Never mind the non-stop stream of lies, racial slurs, and filth that come out of Limpballs' mouth on a daily basis.

A splat of paint on a billboard is SHOCKING.

6. "Yeah i'm a liberal but this is just wrong!" Yeah sure Alan.

2. It looks like there is lots of crap spewing out of Rush's mouth.

I'd say the artist has captured Rush's essence and really improved it. :evilgrin:

7. Matsubara, you've really got a way with headlines. Brilliant! nm

[Matsubara]

9. Thanks. And you have a suggestive screen name!

But anyway, yeah, I know we're supposed to use the title of the article as the headline, but I figure a little poetic license on a non-serious story should be okay.

:evilgrin:

10. Ha. So true. After reading the article

and enjoying the end result, one forgets the headline labeled the billboard painter as a "good samaritan".

8. Wrong color scheme, though. I always think 'reds' and 'blues' go with him, for some reason.

11. The colors are perfect. The guy is a good painter and seems to be influenced by Clifford Still.

13. He should have painted a big dripping red "V" over Rush.
