“It may seem odd that the ACLU has come to the defense of Rush Limbaugh,” the state chapter’s executive director, Howard Simon, said in a statement. “But we have always said that the ACLU’s real client is the Bill of Rights and we will continue to safeguard the values of equality, fairness and privacy for everyone, regardless of race, economic status or political point of view.”

Limbaugh’s had no comment on the ACLU’s involvement so far.

This is great- of paramount concern is the defense of the bill of rights. Until recently, Limbaugh has denied the existance of a right to privacy. All it takes is the threat of federal “pound me in the ass” prison to turn a guy’s political views 180 degrees. It’s clear how much of what Limbaugh says is an act and nothing more.
