"Bomb" sent to Limbaugh was "a wooden plaque outfitted with a digital photo display"
Meet The Doctor Behind Scare At Limbaugh Manse
MARCH 2--The bomb scare yesterday at Rush Limbaugh’s Florida mansion was triggered by an emergency room doctor from Pennsylvania who mailed the radio host a wooden plaque outfitted with a digital photo display, a gift that prompted Limbaugh to call in law enforcement, which grew to include cops, bomb squad technicians, fire rescue workers, and even a member of the Joint Terrorism Task Force.
Palm Beach Police Department reports reveal that Dr. Eric Brader, 54, mailed the package to Limbaugh at a post office box. After the parcel was brought back to Limbaugh’s residence and run through an X-ray machine--standard policy for such mail--a Limbaugh property manager “observed what he believed to be some type of electrical/computer device, wiring, and possibly a cell phone.”
After consulting with Limbaugh and the radio star’s security chief, the property manager called police.
After closing down streets in Limbaugh’s neighborhood, investigators contacted Brader, who confirmed sending the package. He explained that the package held a “custom made plaque fitted with a laser engraved photo and an electronic picture frame.” The item, Brader explained, was a $200 prototype of the “John Wilkes Booth Memorial Award,” which he wanted to give Limbaugh “in an attempt to receive his endorsement and get potential revenue off of sales and use of said endorsement.”

I like that. 
Chicken shit.
Fresh Limburger? I would consider an endorsement from him to be the kiss of death!
