Trump says he will award Rush Limbaugh with Medal of Freedom
Washington (CNN)President Donald Trump told network anchors during a private lunch Tuesday that he will award Rush Limbaugh with the Medal of Freedom, one day after the prominent political radio host announced he has advanced lung cancer. According to a person familiar with the discussion, Trump informed anchors he will bestow Limbaugh with the Presidential Medal of Freedom in the coming months. Limbaugh has been a staunch ally of the President's for years, and dined with him at his Palm Beach golf club over the holidays. Once, during an event in the Rose Garden, Trump praised Limbaugh as someone who "can speak for three hours without a phone call." Trump wished the conservative radio talk show host a speedy recovery Monday after Limbaugh told his audience he is beginning treatment, which will require him to miss the show some days.

No scripting, my FRiend, he’s just that damned good. I’ve been listening to him since the beginning of his syndication and he has always been spot on in his delivery - maybe more polished nowadays but he has always been full of the info, not the b.s. like some talk radio hosts. I’ve heard only ONE other host that is close to as good, delivery and facts, but I don’t know of Ken Matthews will give up the current gig he has. But what do I know.
Someone at the luncheon leaked it to CNN.
Rush loves airplanes and jets.
President Trump should give Rush “a ticket to ride” in the back of a SR-71 Blackbird, screaming across the continent at multiple machs with the leading edge of the wing glowing like the metal of a red hot knife. Take off in California late afternoon heading East so Rush could see our great nation in daylight from great altitude. Accelerate to max airspeed as twilight and darkness happens. Rush could literally see the red glow of the leading edge of the wing and in the darkness our great cities lights below.
Rush would love this! Make this happen Mr. President Trump.
Just saw the Press Secretary on Fox News and she’s furious about the continued lack of professionalism by members of the press. Said, she will recommend the president no longer grant the media the courtesy of off the record candor.
YES!
Rush Limbaugh announces he has ‘advanced lung cancer’.

Great news! Congraulations Mr Limbaugh you deserve this!
Eat your HEART OUT, Joe Biden!
Hi. I really like Mark Levin too. Brilliant brilliant fellow. And I wish Mark styne would have a regular show too. Smart and entertaining too.
The NYT was wrong. The President did not wait months, but instead, he awarded Rush that great honor in front of the entire nation, having our exquisite First Lady bestow the medal on that Pioneer of Conservative Radio. Perfect.
That’s what I say!!!
Thanks for bumpin’ a GRATE thread...
