They tried repeatedly to take out Rush Limbaugh, but in the end he took himself out with billowing clouds of aromatic first-hand cigar smoke.
Honestly, I think Rush was smarter than Trump. Nothing against Donald Trump, he did a good job as far as it went, although he made some very bad hires, and didn't really understand what he was in for when he won the Presidency.
When the first reports leaked that Rush’s hearing loss was linked to an oxy addiction, my first thought was ‘they got him’.
