It doesn’t seem possible that we’ve weathered an entire year since that bleak day last Feb. 17 when at 12:06 p.m. Eastern the inevitable-yet-shocking announcement was broadcast to the world: Rush Limbaugh had passed away. The radio titan, having lived his threescore-and-10 to the absolute fullest, returned his borrowed talent to God. It was a devastating gut-punch to us, his "highly overrated" staff, and to his vast listening audience. Our beloved friend would no longer be providing his brilliant, inspiring, often-hilarious daily clarity and reassurance we had all come to cherish over more than three decades.

Me too. Rush almost always managed a fine balance of the NUMBER of stories-—not too many, but didn’t harp on one except the Terry Schaivo case years ago-—but also on the MIX of stories, as he always had sports, environmental whacko, business, social/cultural stories he discussed.
I have found the War Room with Steve Bannon. His message is the same as Rush..we must destroy the liberals just not defeat them.
Foxnews interview with Kathryn Limbaugh on anniversary of Rush's passing
Brilliant, entertaining, humorous, optimistic and one of a kind.
Thanks.
He was loyal to all the Radio stations that carried him,he could have sold out to Sirius radio and Made tons of money but he stayed loyal until the end
A man always wise beyond his years and downright entertaining almost every day.
He will never be duplicated. Carlson comes close but in a much different setting of course.
The Man from Missouri isn’t Harry Truman in my mind, it is Rush Limbaugh.
Absolutely.
Rush knew his followers.
I drove a Mercedes and many days ate lunch in my car so I could listen to an extra hour of Rush, and my brother was a contractor and Rush was on ALL of his construction trucks.
I didn't have Sirius, not because I couldn't afford it, but because I did not want it.
I loved Rush, and listened to him from the first day he came on the radio.
When he played his 'homeless song' "Ain't Got No Home", by Clarence 'Frogman' Henry, I had to pull off of the road so I didn't soil myself laughing.
Since we had never heard anything like Rush, his first decade was the absolute best.
During the early 90s, Rush had the fag pubbies kissing his {then super fat} ass, in public, trying to get his support.
Newt was authentic, but kasich and so many others just blew smoke up Rush's ass for his support.
Rush soon recognized that many were just using him but he never called out the Bush clan.
Toward the end, he knew that they were RINOs but his loyalty wouldn't let him call them out.
I still have dozens of Rush shirts, hats, and trinkets that I bought or got for donations to one of his causes and I wear them with pride.
One of a kind.

You can watch the much longer version on FOX NATION.
He was a good friend that I never got to meet on this side.
Rode with me in the truck for 30 yrs and redefined what 1100-1400 CST meant. I wasn’t always happy with him but he usually had a point to make. Proves we were both human, I guess.
It’s a blessing of sorts that he isn’t here to see how far we’ve fallen.
The King of Talk Radio, no one can ever take his place.
Words cannot express just how much I miss him.
There are several tributes here on the anniversary of Rush’s passing....
