I am grateful that Rush has gone the extra innings to make it to this consequential election.
Cigars suck. Grant, Freud, Limbaugh. etc. etc. etc.
The rule is that no one is irreplaceable. Rush is the exception that proves the rule.
He has kept me, my family, and many friends informed and entertained for many years. There is no one like him. Thank God for El Rushbo.
“Even he may not have known that that’s what he was doing, but he did know that this path is the right path, and why it’s the right path.”
He knew.
Has humblegunner retired? Hey!
I suspect many of us carry the memory of the day we first discovered Rush in the same way that other major events become seared into our minds. For Boomers, it was the JFK assassination, later, it was 911. In 2016, it was the stunning Trump victory.
We can hold happy memories. Most of us probably have a story to tell about our first El Rushbo experience.
Way back in the early1990s a friend asked me if I ever listened to Rush Limbaugh.
A what?
I didnt even realize that Rush Limbaugh is a proper name.
Later, I would discover that my parents had been listening to Rush on the radio for some time. They would drop everything at noon to sit around the radio as if it were an FDR fireside chat, but not socialist propaganda. (Only Biden was able to watch FDR in TV).
At the time, I lived just outside of San Diego and refused to waste money on cable. So, I got what I could get via antenna.
Somehow in flipping channels at 2 am, this Rush Limbaugh person popped up and I gave it a go. Oooohhhhhh, now I get it. The man was making perfect sense. Anyone who began his TV show with a tally of the days of America Held Hostage (Clinton years) was a good bet.
The next weekend, my unfortunate boyfriend found himself on the roof, installing one of those old whirly gig antennas that you could point as necessary for better reception.
After boyfriend came back in, hot, sweaty, and in dire need of a cold beer, his only comment was All for that one guy.
We broke up shortly thereafter.
Rush is the friend i have never met. i will cherish him for as long as he is with us, and after, he will always be in the half a mind i have, tied behind my back.
Our baddest guy has already taken on their baddest guy and resoundingly won. No contest. The end has been written and the outcome is sure.
This will sound crazy, but what does one have to lose by trying?
I had read an account on one of the Med Blogs some time ago. A man with stage 4 cancer was completely cured by dog dewormer. It worked so well, that there is now a human form of the med called menbendazole. The dog med is called fenbendazole.
I’m not a Doctor but I did spend the night at a Holiday Inn. :)
I hope he gets to see a Trump reelection and maybe inaugural. 6 days maybe for the first and just under 3 months for the second.
I love that man.
Rush is not an old man and the fact that he has accepted the fact that he has some sort of disease and he has accepted its consequences is most DISAPPOINTING.
I never thought of Rush as a loser, but he has got to get more control over his life.
Read “the Will to Live” and that may help him.
Bkmk
Nice article. Thanks for posting it.
I had the opportunity to actually meet Rush in the 90’s. Someone had organized a road trip to NYC to watch him record his television show (which he had back then). I remember it was an episode that included a video of Bill Clinton laughing at a funeral, then looking real serious when he saw the camera.
After the recording I got to meet him an have him sign a copy of his first book, “The Way Things Ought to Be.” We then went to eat at “Patsy’s”, one of Rush’s favorite restaurants, hoping to see him there. Unfortunately he never showed (as far as we know) - oh well.
I will always treasure the memory of meeting The Mayor of Realville.
