Credit to Hannity today—he said everyone needs to up their game because we just lost our best player.
He’s right. No replacement Babe Ruth appears on the horizon.
Terry Meiners, a radio personality on our local AM talk radio station 840WHAS (Louisville KY), is as liberal as can be but still was gracious enough to post this lovely tribute to Rush on FB:
I took a group of listeners to New York City to attend the Rush Limbaugh TV show in the 90s. He was incredibly grateful to receive a personalized Louisville Slugger.
Asking our group to refrain from answering his question, Rush turned to the entire studio audience and said "How do you pronounce the capitol of Kentucky? Is it LOUIE-vill or LOO-uh-vul?"
"Gotcha! It's Frankfort!"
Thanks for strengthening the business of radio for over 30 years, Rush. You were a gale force that reignited our business and injected creativity into the talk show format. All liberal and conservative commentators upped their skills from your lead.
I appreciate the time and access you gave me in multiple interviews. My dad was thrilled to enter your NYC radio studio to see you behind the Golden EIB microphone! RIP, Rush.
