As many here have said, Rush is missed tremendously. He left a void in the world of common sense conservative media that has yet to be filled.
Its coming up on a year since his passing. I occasionally listen to Buck and Travis. They are ok but no Rush by any stretch of the imagination. I have probably spent more time thinking about who would actually come close to stepping in to fill his shoes than I should. Just my opinion, but the only person I see who can do an engaging monologue, cover relevant issues in detail (not just rant), and come close to the wit/humor/sarcasm is Tucker Carlson. I dont know why Tucker wasnt considered, or maybe he was??
Bongino's a good guy but his voice is too loud and gruff for me.
I started listening to Charlie Kirk who has the same time slot. Good, conservative, smart kid.
We miss Rush.
PING! Wow, Pollard. This 50-minute video of Bo Snerdley talking about Rush was out of this world great — Had to listen all the way through. (interviewed by Tucker Carlson).
We never knew much about Snerdley, but now I know a wonderful story teller, charming man, and loyal partner he was to Rush for 30 years.
Your knowledge and respect for Rush will grow after hearing this podcast / video.
Thanks man, I’m a loyal Tuckerite and Fox Nation subscriber.
RIP, oh Great One. I miss him all the time. Found him in 1991, hooked ever since. Finally, someone who speaks what I think!
His shoes are too big to fill.
I don’t mean voting for GWB. Rush defended him for almost his whole Presidency. He even defended the Dubai Port deal.
In some ways, President Reagan and Rush were twin brothers from different mothers, as the saying goes.
Limbaugh was captivating - to me - for his insanely fast and wicked wit. He’d be riffing on something, just tossing out lines and I’d be choking from laughing so hard.
Limbaugh was a seriously sober student of humanity, too. He was able to size up a caller in just a couple of moments, and the fun was on.
One call I remember was when Norman Lear was starting some new TV series starring Henry Winkler (IIRC) and he called in to plug it. The Winkler character was supposedly modeled on some conservative curmudgeon (an obvious spin off Rush). Limbaugh was gracious and let Lear run silly as Lear assumed he was a sophisticate talking down to the yokels. I was starting a slow burn, and then Lear was gone, and Limbaugh laid it out, kind of like, The program’s going to be a con job and not worth watching. One can bet Lear was still listening. I wondered how Lear took that kick in the teeth. Of course, Rush was just being pure, honest Rush.
To my mind, some of the best calls were when kids called in and Limbaugh would riff with them about the books, and he’d usually wind up sending them a truckload of books and an iPhone or something. Good man. Good memories.
He was one in a billion and very much missed.
You know, unless I missed it, after he passed and Katherine Limbaugh shared and related his family funeral to us, I thought she said that there was going to be a public memorial for Rush later in the year, but I never heard anything else about it.
Wasn’t aware of such a tribute. Not seeing anything official, either. Sorry.
