He taught me more than anyone else ever He died on my birthday
He said the things I had thought and said, and he had a sense of humor that merged everything together so very well. I really enjoyed his “Tax the Poor” day (I remember where I was driving while listening). Of course, Shanklin’s parodies were always top-notch.
I miss it all.
Boy, do I ever miss El Rushbo in these days. He could have guided us with steady thought and humor during the wuhan flu.
He was one of my best friends and the only one I never met. His brilliance was on many levels. But how he used humor to expose the lunacy of the left was a rare gift. No one on talk radio can match that. Maybe Greg Gurfeld comes close.
Miss Rush. I don’t think I’ll ever be able to listen to Mannheim Steamroller’s version of Silent Night without totally losing it!
Tucker interviewed Bo; https://www.bitchute.com/video/wYwrH4kwWAug/
Okay, I’m an idiot. I had no idea that Bo Snerdley’s name wasn’t Bo Snerdley.
That racist, Rush, sure had a lot of black friends..
The two clowns who have the franchise are terrible. Should have been Mark Styne.
Rush almost always knew his subjects exceptionally well.
But what I liked most was his quick wit and sense of humor.
We miss Rush a lot.
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??
We miss Rush.
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.
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.
