Kinder hoping to recruit Rush Limbaugh to help finance Ronald Reagan movie

The Sterling, IL Daily Gazette reported this weekend that Lt. Governor Peter Kinder is working with David Limbaugh (Rush's brother) to pull together financing for an upcoming Ronald Reagan movie.  According to the paper, Kinder "took the bait" from executive producer Donna Johnson to help recruit investors:

In fact, she said, Lt. Gov. Peter Kinder called her. One of the lieutenant governor’s goals while in office is to bring in more feature films to the state, Johnson said.

“Kinder was very interested and very enthusiastic,” she said. “The call lasted quite a while and he asked a lot of questions ... and didn’t guarantee anything.”

But he told her he had “a few names” and “some people” he wanted to approach about funding the film, Johnson said, including radio personality Rush Limbaugh.

Limbaugh’s brother, David, was on the conference call, Johnson said.

“Rush Limbaugh’s brother was more guarded but very interested,” she said. “In our eyes, he’s a potential investor; in his eyes, he’s just asking questions. He really wants to find out is this something worthy of presenting to Rush.”

Kinder chose not to speak to the Daily Gazette reporter about his work to help finance the project with Limbaugh, so we'll have to see if Kinder is hoping to bring any sensible human beings into the fold, of it he's looking to keep it all in the Limbaugh family.
