I know what they\u2019re going to say, &#8220;Well, I don\u2019t listen to Limbaugh. I mean, I never heard him say that.&#8221; Well, of course. If that\u2019s the case, if that\u2019s what Howell Raines will say, if he will deny his plagiarism of ripping off my nickname for John Kerry, Lurch from the Addams Family &#8212; he even talks about, what is it, &#8220;Lurch had gone to Choate, got an Addams Family face,&#8221; is what he says.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/howell_raines_rips_off_lurch_nickname.Par.0002.ImageFile.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"319\" height=\"70\" \/>The only thing he doesn\u2019t say that I said is that this guy gets out of a coffin every morning to go to work. And for all I know, that is in the piece. I haven\u2019t read the whole piece. But if they\u2019re going to deny &#8212; I know they\u2019ll deny it. Of course he\u2019ll not even be confronted with it. The press will not go, &#8220;You understand that you stole that from Rush Limbaugh?&#8221; No, no, that will never happen. But if it were to happen, he\u2019d say, &#8220;I never listen to Limbaugh&#8221; So the obvious conclusion to that is then I\u2019m not the only one that thinks this guy looks like Lurch and all that that stands for and represents, not even the Democrats think this guy looks like somebody that\u2019s actually alive and breathing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: I really can\u2019t believe that, Howell Raines just ripped me off.
