President George W. Bush just made a surprise call from Maine to congratulate Rush Limbaugh for 20 years on the air. His father, former president Bush, and brother Jeb also were on the call. When asked by Rush how his spirits are, the president answered: "My spirits are high and I'm going to finish strong."

Former President George H.W. Bush had advice for Rush: "Slow down your back-swing."

Rush concluded the segment by noting: "I was talking to two presidents and one governor -- on one phone call."
