I am uneducated on Mr. Limbaugh (though he and I were
born on the same day in history). However, a few months
back I heard him scoff at the need for a 48 hour hospital stay
for new moms and babies. The day I heard him speak on the
topic (radio show in USA) he was denouncing Hillary Clinton
(and others) who must have linked a longer hospital stay (48
hours) with learning to breastfeed. Mr. Limbaugh was saying
things like "What's to learn?" and "It's pretty basic -- here's a
baby, here's a breast." (These are not quotes, but I feel my
rendition captures the gist of his comments well).

I have no opinion about the Rush ties, though. (What's to
know? Here's a tie, here's a neck...)     ;-)
