I think Bo Snerdly should do the show, at least temporarily and if he wants to. He had a weekly show on WABC when Rush was still in New York. No one knew Rush better and few loved him more.

Rush is gonna be like Johnny Carson — one immense pair of shoes to even begin to adequately fill. Not really. Carson was terrific, but he was named to replace the guys who created the late-night slot, Steve Allen and Jack Paar. Rush Limbaugh is more than just a big pair of shoes; he created the radio talk-show slot.

I told my Father, who loved to watch Carson, 20 years ago that RUSH would be bigger than Johnny Carson. I stand by that as you said, RUSH invented what he did, Carson followed others.

Rush created an industry, AM talk radio that people wanted to listen to. There are many who have benefited from his risk taking and perserverance over the years.

I know I’m not the first to suggest this, but what if DJT took over Rush’s show for the next couple years? Good idea? Bad idea? I tend to think the former.

Nobody can replace RUSH, he's irreplaceable. Whatever emerges will be much different.

In my experience, the people I know whose personalities are more like trump than not, always seem to hate Trump.

Won’t be the last to say this on this post. I feel like I have lost a member of my family. Been listening to him since the late 90’s. RIP Maha-Rushi.

God called that loan in. We (conservatives) cannot begin to repay what we got from it except with our gratitude.

His vile detractors only wish they had 1/10 the influence and goodwill that he wielded and received.

From his celestial vantage point he can see every thread his voice wove into the lives of millions of Americans, in their kitchens, cars, workshops... His influence is without equal.

Trump should invest in a media empire called “EIB.” We need our own MEDIA.

Oddly the name that comes to mind is Tucker Carlson.. not likely.. but it’s a place for him to go and jump ship from Fox. Not a guy to replace Rush but a voice that could do good with that slot and be as popular..

After a period of grieving I pray that our Creator sends one to fill Rush’s place.

repost:

...There was a group back in the 1990s — and they still exist.
There was a group in the 1990s that were malcontents, renegades, and off the mainstream plantation of conservatism as articulated by the party.
Those were the people that were the early participants in the website Free Republic.
They were known as Freepers. - Rush Limbaugh, July 3, 2013

Rush Limbaugh undeniable truths of life:

The “Undeniable Truths” were part of an article he wrote for the Sacramento Union back in 1988. Here they are:

2. The greatest threat to humanity lies in the USSR.
3. Peace does not mean the elimination of nuclear weapons.

7. There is only one way to get rid of nuclear weapons - use them.
8. Peace cannot be achieved by developing a “understanding” with the
Russian People.
9. When Americans oppose America, it is not always courageous and sacred;
it is sometimes dangerous.
10. Communism Kills.

other nations.

16. The collective knowledge and wisdom of seasoned citizens is the most valuable, yet untapped, resource our young-people have.
17. The greatest football team in the history of civilization is the Pittsburgh Steelers of 1975-1980.
18. There is no such thing as war atrocities.
19. War itself is an atrocity.
20. There is a God.
21. Abortion is wrong.
22. Morality is not defined and cannot be defined by individual choice.
23. Evolution cannot explain Creation.
24. Feminism was established so as to allow unattractive women access to the mainstream of society.

32. This is frightening and ominous.
33. There will always be poor people.
34. This is not the fault of the rich.
35. You should thank God for making you an American; and instead of feeling guilty about it, help spread our ideas worldwide.

Thank you for posting and providing the link to Rush’s “35 Undeniable Facts of Life,” as they were once entitled. I still have a copy of them that was included to my subscription to the Limbaugh Letter 25 years ago.

The hateful and ugly responses I’ve seen on leftist sites are despicable! That includes Facebook & Twitter.

I know I held my tongue when McNuts died. I wanted to write “hell has gained another soul” but didn’t.

RIP Rush! You are loved and will be missed terribly!
