Take a look at the sidebar and you will see the winning bid for Rush Limbaugh’s EBay auction of the letter of condemnation by Harry Reid and some of his cohorts.
The winning bid was $2,100,100, and Rush will match that amount to go to this worthy cause.
How do you like them apples, Mr. Reid? Your letter actually helped military and law enforcement families.
We will take down the widget on Monday so everyone has a chance to see the winning bid.
Rush is also selling signed copies for $1,000 each to anyone who wants to donate. Go to his site to get yours.

Senator Reid has effectively done nothing since becoming Senate Majority Leader. Nothing but insult the President of the United States, provide soundbites for a willing press and attempt a takedown of conservative talk radio host Rush Limbaugh.
Sadly for the Senator, none of those things have worked in his favor.
The President is still at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, the press, while it laps up his words, really has not given the Senator much credit for anything (there really is nothing to give credit for) and Rush Limbaugh just beat him at his own game.
I think the Leader also missed another important point. There are many conservatives who do not listen to talk radio or talking heads on television. But this maneuver by Reid and his fellow Senators, purely for politics, awakened many to support Limbaugh who otherwise pay little attention.
Instead of saying congratulations on the amazing amount raised by Rush, Mr. Reid tries to turn the tables and take credit for what is not his:
NOW, EVERYONE KNOWS THAT RUSH LIMBAUGH AND I DON’T AGREE ON EVERYTHING IN LIFE AND MAYBE THAT IS KIND OF AN UNDERSTATEMENT. BUT WITHOUT QUALIFICATION MARK MAY, THE OWNER OF THE NETWORK THAT HAS RUSH LIMBAUGH AND RUSH LIMBAUGH SHOULD KNOW THAT THIS LETTER THAT THEY’RE AUCTIONING IS GOING TO BE SOMETHING THAT RAISES MONEY FOR A WORTHWHILE CAUSE. I DON’T KNOW WHAT WE COULD DO MORE IMPORTANT THAN HELPING TO ENSURE THAT CHILDREN OF OUR FALLEN SOLDIERS AND POLICE OFFICERS WHO HAVE FALLEN IN THE LINE OF DUTY HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY FOR THEIR CHILDREN TO HAVE A GOOD EDUCATION. THINK OF THIS, MORE THAN $2 MILLION — THAT WILL REALLY HELP. THAT’S, AGAIN, AN UNDERSTATEMENT. THERE’S ONLY A LITTLE BIT OF TIME LEFT SO I WOULD ASK THOSE THAT ARE WANTING TO DO MORE, THAT THEY CAN GO TO HARRY REID LETTER AND IT WILL COME UP ON E-BAY. I ENCOURAGE ANYONE INTERESTED WITH THE MEANS TO CONSIDER CONTRIBUTING TO THIS WORTHWHILE CAUSE. I STRONGLY BELIEVE WHEN WE CAN PUT OUR DIFFERENCES ASIDE, EVEN HARRY REID AND RUSH LIMBAUGH, WE SHOULD DO THAT AND TRY TO ACCOMPLISH GOOD THINGS FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. THIS DOES THAT, MADAM PRESIDENT. MORE THAN $2 MILLION FOR A LETTER SIGNED BY THIS SENATOR AND MY FRIENDS.
What a bloated ego this man has. He thinks people were bidding on this letter because his signature was on it…Mr. “the war is lost” Reid, let me give you a clue. This had nothing to do with you and everything to do with Rush, his supporters and the Marine Corps Law Enforcement Fund. If you are so pleased with the outcome how about you pony up and match the funds raised?
Now that the Senator has been made to look a fool over this entire incident, he wants to be friends with Rush Limbaugh …he says they can do good things together. Perhaps he should have thought of that before he took to the Senate floor and attempted to destroy the career of another man.
*Update: ABC News apears to live in the same fantasy land as Senator Reid.
The bidding ends at 1:00p.m. No mater what, Democrats are going to make a ton of money for a charity off their political vitriol.
Unbelieveable!
