Grandfather Rush Sr., was a prominent lawyer, at one point becoming president of the Missouri State Bar. The federal courthouse in Cape Girardeau was named after him several years after his 1996 death at the age of 104. In addition, Limbaugh's cousin, Stephen Jr., is a federal judge appointed to the bench by President George W. Bush. Brother David is an attorney who has written numerous political commentaries for right-wing media outlets.More Related News
