I\u2019m going to be with a bunch of conservatives anyway. The Media Research Center is having their 20th annual big dinner tonight. It\u2019s really fun, too. Yeah, these are real conservatives. They have their annual dinner. They send out ballots (and I\u2019m always one of the judges) of some of the most outrageous comments in the Drive-By Media in the previous year, and the judges vote. It\u2019s the &#8216;DisHonors Awards,\u2019 is what it is. There are a bunch of categories. Tonight the results, as they are every year, are announced with each Drive-By Media winner in each category for the most outrageous, stupid statement.<\/line><BR\/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mrc.org\/webcast\/rush.asp\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/rush_goes_to_washington_to_receive_first_william_f__buckley_jr__greatest_conservative_ever_award.Par.89380.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"170\" height=\"118\" class=\"alignleft\"\/><\/a> I am being given a first-time award tonight. They created a new award, the &#8216;William F. Buckley, Jr. Award for Media Excellence.\u2019 I\u2019m receiving that tonight at the end of the program, which is a real honor. I mean, to have an award named after William F. Buckley, Jr., one of my idols, and to be named the first recipient is quite proper (I don\u2019t dispute that), but nevertheless it\u2019s a huge honor. But I gotta get up there and I gotta get in there, get it and get out. (interruption) <\/line><\/p>\n<p>No, the Drive-Bys don\u2019t accept awards. No, the Drive-Bys aren\u2019t there. Sam Donaldson shows up every year. He\u2019s a friend of Brent Bozell. This is Brent Bozell\u2019s bunch and Sam Donaldson is there now and then. There aren\u2019t too many Drive-Bys in there. (interruption) No, no, no, no. They\u2019re <emphasize>permitted<\/emphasize>. Anybody can buy a ticket. It\u2019s black tie optional so I choose not to go black tie. Any time I see &#8216;black tie required,\u2019 it\u2019s not for me. So anyway, I\u2019m going to get outta here about four o\u2019clock this afternoon to get up there for this thing, and be back here tomorrow for the regular excursion into broadcast excellence. (interruption) What are you shaking your head for? It\u2019s a late night, but it\u2019s doable. It\u2019s not a problem. It\u2019s not like getting on a plane with 55 kids and flying to Scotland with a four-and-a-half hour layover in Atlanta. <emphasize>That\u2019s<\/emphasize> tough.
