Robert Murrow, a spokesman for Baltimore’s Department of Public Works, saw that someone vandalized a local radio station billboard by throwing paint over Rush Limbaugh’s face. He immediately called the Baltimore Sun and happily told the newspaper that “It looks great. It did my heart good.”
His supervisor later clarified the department’s position that vandalism is actually a bad thing, not a good thing. And that Mr. Murrow isn’t going to be talking to the press anymore.
Meanwhile, Rush used the single incident to go on the kind of blustering, egocentric rant that makes some people inclined to throw paint at his likeness in the first place.
"I'm just waiting for all of the cable news networks," he told his national audience. "They're probably at this moment sending video crews to Baltimore. And there are going to be roundtable discussions later on. ... What's happening to the civility of our society? And I will be blamed for defacing my own billboard. Whoever did it will be made a hero."
