Timing is everything
Sometimes it just pays to be in the right place at the right time.
On today’s Rush Limbaugh program, which I run at the radio station for which I work, he had a caller yesterday that had a mild quibble with an observation of his. In the process, Rush made a comment about her first name(Jenny), which Rush said was one of his favorite names of all. He then proceeded to refer to her as Jessica later in the half hour by accident.
Jenny called back today, slightly hurt that Rush would make that mistake after going on for so long about how wonderful her name was. They talked for a few minutes, then Rush went on with his show after clearing the air with her.
After taking a commercial break, he then did something extraordinary, even for him. He called her back and, still feeling embarrassed over his faux pas the day before, offered her a gift.
By the end of the call, Rush had GIVEN Jenny a Select Comfort bed(who he advertises for), a gift that has a value of somewhere around $1200.
Now many deride Rush, saying he says and does things for show, as if he COULDN’T seriously believe the way he does about so many things…and he couldn’t be a very nice person…in fact, many accuse him of being a hateful person!
I don’t know about that…I have met Rush in person, and he impresses me as a truly nice man who doesn’t take himself as seriously as many listeners try to. I think he meant his gesture as a sincere one to be kind to a persistent and consistent listener. And what a gift that is!
Do you suppose if I gave Rush a link to this blog, and called him if he got the name wrong, that he might give ME one of those Select Comfort beds? I know I sure wouldn’t mind one!
I’ll keep you posted.
