The G-Man at a Capitol Hill retirement party Wednesday

How generous and wonderful of Rush! God bless you, G-Man .. you did good, and did it all with great personal responsibility and honor!

Wow, how funny to read this today.

This morning I was sitting at a traffic light and a car pulled up next to me. It was a nice day, windows were open, and this guy’s radio was up loud enough that I could hear.... I could’ve sworn he was listening to Liddy’s program. The voice I heard sounded exactly like it... but it was only about 10 seconds or so before the light changed and he moved on.

Never heard of this story re Rush. Thanks for posting!

I found his book for $0.25 in 2009 at a tag sale, and it was the best $0.25 I ever spent, especially with conservatism in the toliet after the 2008 debacle. A truly unique person.

I listened to him early on in his career, and he was great. Forceful, blunt, unpolished, and hilarious. A couple of the segments he did with Marion Barry (who, improbably, I think he developed a friendship with) were hilarious because he would absolutely make Barry look like the buffoon he is, and Barry simply didn’t care because he knew nothing short of getting caught molesting a five-year-old while eating a baby could dent his immense popularity in the District.

Enjoy your retirement, G-Man. You’ve earned it.

On the first day he arrived with a cold and his voice failed him. Down the hall, conservative host Rush Limbaugh had just finished broadcasting his national show and heard the "G-Man" struggling over the station's speakers. "He didn't know me from Adam but he came in, sat down and carried me for the rest of the program."

I just found this thread. How interesting!
