Rush Selling Tea

 Rush Limbaugh is selling his own beverage, Two If By Tea.  Emblazoned with a picture of Limbaugh dressed in full colonial costume, 'Two If By Tea' takes its name from Longfellow's famous poem, Paul Revere's Last Ride, about the arrival of British troops during the War of Independence.

According to its website, the tea represents 'traditional American values of capitalism and the pursuit of excellence', and each bottle 'is designed to rise above the sameness and mediocrity that threatens our great nation.'

A percentage of every sale will go to the Marine Corps Law Enforcement Foundation, a charity which helps the children of servicemen who died in combat.  Limbaugh said: 'I wanted to demonstrate that even in this economy, with an oppressive regime like the one we have standing in the way of economic growth that it can still happen with ambition and with ingenuity and with desire.'  Read more here.

Anyone (besides me) curious about this product?  OR fill in the blank:  I would rather ______________ before I tried this.
