Blondie on Daily Show. What was with the sign?

First, let me say how great her new song is. "Sugar On The Side" sent me straight to Amazon to order "Blondie 4(0)", but during a skit earlier in the show about the absurdity of the Beyonce tape she appeared to offer a humorous plea for the privacy of pop stars in elevators. At the end of the Sarah Maclaughlin like spot she held up a sign with the hashtag @F#*kRush.

Does she have a personal feud with Limbaugh, or Geddy Lee? Though I assume it's the former, I wonder if anyone has any details.

A response to the anal cyst's comments about Michelle Obama and the Boko Haram kidnappings.

I think I remember the bit about Limbaugh saying something stupid about Ms Obama and how outraged Stewart was, but I must have missed the hashtag. You're right, it was "#FuckYouRush" that Blondie held up. I'm not too hip on hastags, but then I'm easily old enough to be an original Blondie fan.

That would explain why she pretended to be as befuddled as I was about why she was holding it up (lol). Good for her for pitching in on the call for common decency and humanity. I would expect nothing less from the Goddess of Pop.

Thanx for helping me understand.
