Rush Limbaugh's 'Two if by Tea' urges consumers to rise above 'sameness and mediocrity'

Rush Limbaugh announced a new sweet tea product designed to convey American ideals and patriotism, as well as provide a refreshing summer beverage.

Rush Limbaugh made his latest publicity stunt Wednesday when he --- at long last ---revealed one of his best kept secrets: a brand new sweet tea beverage called (ahem) "Two if by Tea" (get it?).

Of course being who he is, Limbaugh didn't undertake this venture simply to provide the public with a refreshing summer drink. He explains his purpose in a letter he wrote to buyers on the product's website.

"Two If By Tea represents traditional American values of capitalism and the pursuit of excellence. Each bottle is designed to rise above the sameness and mediocrity that threatens our great nation."

In fact Limbaugh wants consumers to rise so far above that "sameness and mediocrity" that he asks them to pay a whopping $23.76 to order a 12-pack. The beverage's only unit available for retail is available only over the internet.

And there's a reason for that too, as Limbaugh explains in this video from Fox. In the video, Limbaugh says, "it wouldn't be fair, we couldn't get it to everybody. So we want to make sure that it's available online so that everybody has an equal opportunity to access it."

As if plastering his face on the body of an American hero and using it to sell a product wasn't enough of a political statement for one week, Limbaugh has been keeping up his steady stream controversial declarations.

This week, Limbaugh blamed liberal women for the adultery of male politicians, and criticized the GOP debate moderator and CNN anchor John King for asking questions about gay marriage and abortion.

So how about it folks? Will you be supporting Limbaugh's everlasting crusade by ordering a case of his fine American sweet tea?
