lotta truth right there, but without him starting the radio revolution, things would be much different lotta truth right there, but without him starting the radio revolution, things would be much different100% credit to Rush Limbaugh for bringing me and millions to the conservative movement. Never missed at least parts of his show each day for many years. I loved him, part of me still does. I’m one of the “lovers” he cheated on. So if I sound bitter, I am.
I thank Gd there was a Rush Limbaugh. I owe him and so do many people famous and not. I’ve prayed deeply for him.
Yet part of him is a phony act. It’s a pet peeve of mine, dishonesty. I can take a lot but I have trouble with dishonesty without apology.
When he was wined and dined by Chuck Schumer and satisfactorily did his bidding, I saw that that could not have been the first time. Call him “Chuck You” to us on the air; kiss his arse privately. It’s apparently how he lives. And when he came on the air that Monday after the discovery, I loved him still. Expected one of two things to happen on the air. Him to explain that it never happened. Or him to do a full mea culpa, apologize, hey, we all can be swayed by big shots, bla bla, be forgiven.
He doubled down. He was angry, defensive. In a half hour, he showed that the Rush I thought he was, with deep moral character, didn’t exist. It hurt. I can even tell you what road I was on, I was so affected. He came back from the break and was furious with a nasty tone to his voice because he had read social media and we weren’t buying it. He called us haters. BOOM.
Done.
