Clinton was president in 1997, not Reagan.

Along with, for example, NPR and Ed Schultz, which (given the wide disparity of viewpoints there) would seem to indicate there's no endorsement of anyone's views, including Limbaugh's, intended.

Actually I think Rush has had a long run before Ed Schulz was added. They also added Hannity at the same time as Schultz so it's still lopsided treatment. Jesse Jackson being a special envoy in 1997 might not have been a big deal back then. Perhaps if you could supply a timeline with comments he made prior that you feel should have made him off limits to anything governmental.

Fair play!
