“Referred to as the ‘largest one-man network in the world,’ Paul Harvey … was a blogger before we knew what that was. He just did his blogging on the radio.”
Thus did Rep. John Sullivan, R-Okla., take to the House floor Monday night to honor radio legend Paul Harvey, who died in February at age 90. Sullivan’s bill attracted 60 cosponsors since he introduced it three weeks ago. It passed by unanimous consent.
Also speaking was Rep. Stephen Lynch, D-Mass., who disclosed that he “was introduced to Paul Harvey 30 years ago as an ironworker, working at the Inland Steel Plant in East Chicago, Ind. Every day, when that lunch whistle would blow, all the ironworkers would gather at the lunchroom or in the trailer where we had lunch, and every ear was glued to that radio set. It was the plain-spoken, moral and commonsense views of Paul Harvey’s that I think enlightened us all.”
