Conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh dies at 70

Conservative talk show radio host and Republican party icon Rush Limbaugh has died. He was 70 years old.

His wife Kathryn announced his passing on his radio show Wednesday, saying Limbaugh died earlier this morning.

“Rush will forever be the greatest of all time,” she said.

Limbaugh had been battling advanced lung cancer since February.

Back in October, Limbaugh provided this somber update on his show: “You know, I wake up every day and thank God that I did. I go to bed every night praying I’m gonna wake up. I don’t know how many of you do that, those of you who are not sick, those of you who are not facing something like I and countless other millions are.”

Former President Donald Trump awarded Limbaugh the Medal of Freedom during his most recent State of the Union address

This appearance only a few days after his he revealed his diagnosis on his show.

“I can’t help but feel that I’m letting everybody down with this, but the upshot is that I have been diagnosed with advanced lung cancer,” Limbaugh said in February.

“The Rush Limbaugh Show” first aired in 1988.

You okay there, buddy? Your doomposting has shot up like crazy lately.

Almost a year of Corona virus bullshit has been weighing really heavily on me, but I'll be ok, thanks for your concern.

 

[Jazz never died!]

A final check of the twitter people for the day, finally McConnell and Cassidy put out a RIP statement for Rush.

Romney, Sasse, Murkowski, Colins, Burr, Toomey did not say anything about Rush. Neither did Paul Ryan. All the Lincoln Project Never Trumpers are trying to play the "I won't say he's a bad man but you shouldn't gloat about people dying" sanctimonious tweets. They were more soyboy face about the old Trump hotel in Atlantic City being destroyed because metaphors.

Even when it's the easiest thing to do for RINOs, they need, need the twitter and DC cummies. Karma's going to fuck them up harder than a Lincoln Project staffer with a teen boy.

Why am i not surprised

Weepy-eyed? No. Bummed out? Feelsy? Definitely.

Lol. He and Seth MacFarlane were actually really good friends IRL.

I can see MacFarlane being scared to make a statement of his passing, due to all the lunatics on twitter who think it's a sin to be friends with someone who has different political views.

Seems like the end of an era. Larry King and Rush Limbaugh both dead.

Hard to belive we lost those two legends with just mouths apart.

"Good thing Rush is dead, he said some awful things"

Twitter has now collectively said more horrific in 3 hours than Rush did during a lifetime career on radio.

That's the irony of it honestly.

He was only 70?! I thought he was at least 80 by now.

RIP.

I thought he was 78?

Pelosi will never die, I dunno about Obama though. I think he still smokes so who knows, cancer still sucks either way. RIP you big fat idiot, the world will never be the same without you.

Obama looks offer for a 58 year old. His brother his 62, yet looks younger than him

Obama smokes cigarettes, or at least he did while President. That's why he looks so bad now.

Holy shit dude, a pack a day for eight years definitely makes one worse for wear. I'm usually the one to tell health nuts to fuck off but they do bring up an interesting point.

RIP Rush, back from the good old days when you could say Jewish Lobby and not be completely crucified

It's just horrifying much smoking can fuck you up. It just shows that my great grandmother was lucky to have lived to mid 90s well still smoking.

 

[Madako-Tako]

Just one more time, for old times sake.

Man growing up with GenX-Boomer conservatives I heard this every single morning up until today, sad!

 

[Strange Wilderness]

My Mom was listing to Rush in the hospital the day I was born because she was bored and had nothing to do. Is this a sign? Am I going to die tomorrow?

Here is a New York Times article from 2008 talking about his tipping and just how he operated since he lost his hearing.

So for all the sociopaths on twitter flicking their troon beans about the man dying, he did more good with his money than they ever will.

Were all these anonymous donations or just the mission? If he donated all that money and didn't say anything then thats pretty cool.

Read this out to my mom - she replied with, "Well, they must know."

Now he looks perfectly typecast for the roll of an inner-city highschool principal. He had a lofty goals early on, but now has seen some shit; keeping booze in his desk next to the cigarettes & suicide-pill.

He just did a lot of quiet philanthropy because that's what you usually do when you have money and faith and don't care what others think of you. His Leukemia dontations would be one day a year during his show where he matches whatever the callers would raise, and often times would start it off with a six digit donation of his own so he was giving more than half the total amount. He also ran stuff from his store like t-shirts and Rush Revere books and tea so that all profits went to places like the marine law project and scholarships and that 9/11 charity that pays off the mortgages of fallen first responders.

The man likely gave more money than a charlatan like Romney ever has despite being a man with more "sins" in the standard sense, being married three or four times and having addiction issues.

To be fair, a before and after of the majority of U.S. Presidents will look like that.

Turns out, trying to run an entire country weighs on you, apparently.

On the bright side, Rush doesn't have to deal with being in pain anymore.

Rest in shit

Whoah, try not to cut yourself on all that edge, buddy.

Not who you were addressing but I just don't see America recovering any of what we have lost in the last few decades. Best case scenario we see some states secede and create their own countries.

I'm starting to come around to the idea that secession might be for the best. Of course, if Texas (who can legally do so) or any other state leaves the union, they'll probably either get swallowed up by China or a resurgent Progressive States of America bullshit regime soon after.

 

[DonDaLemon]

Whoah, try not to cut yourself on all that edge, buddy.

Woah, don't choke on all that partisan cock you're sucking, pal.
