He's always been pro smoking in general

Seems he's been diagnosed with lung cancer

I don't listen to his show but wish him successful treatment and a speedy recovery

I used to listen to his show every morning with my father, as we carpooled to Corvallis back in the day. Gonna miss that guy, although I Always liked the Paul Harvey Rest Of The Story best.

Yeah, he's a huge Opus X guy. That's why I bought some of those years ago in my DE days. They were still a 8-9 dollar smoke at the time. I'm sad to say at the time I didn't like them and thought they were way too expensive.

I kick myself everyday now. 😣

Just another entertainer no more important than the nameless guy down the street with the same diagnosis but he gets my prayers. I sometimes question why this awful disease exists because no one deserves it. Get well Rush.

He was a cornerstone of the Bush administration (at least a major shaper/influencer of their policies), so he was more than an entertainer... best wishes for a speedy recovery...



I also was a big fan of the Paul Harvey, "And Now You Know -- The Rest of the Story" daily radio short feature...always tuned in on the car stereo during my lunch break...

Yea that’s an odd one. He’s just an entertainer. I used to listen to him all the time then got tired of the schtick. Some folks take it seriously and will never grow tired.

Poor VP Cheney, he got beat up for just working for at Halliburton. OTOH, Ladybird Johnson, LBJ's wife, owned much of the company when LBJ was President. While LBJ was pursuing the Vietnam war, Halliburton was there building all sorts of infrastructure. I'm sure it was just a coincidence and the Johnsons were as clean as fresh snow. [eyeroll]

true, but Limbaugh seemed to have an inside lane and shaped many of the Bush administration's daily public pronouncements...

During the Bush terms, Limbaugh's daily radio show, which aired before the WH briefings, contained most of the Bush WH talking points, and that Limbaugh would go into greater depth to sell those ideas...so, it's possible that someone fed Limbaugh very early every day, or also possible that the Bush WH used Limbaugh's rhetoric because he was the most trusted conservative voice in America...

I will take your word for it but I would not want to be around Cheney when a covey flushes.

One might get shot.

Back on point, hope Rush wins his battle.

God bless Rush Limbaugh.
Funeral for friend and workmate tomorrow who died of lung cancer but he inhaled the cheap stuff and never wore a mask in the most dangerous work environments.

That's akin to saying Bill Maher was the cornerstone of the Obama administration...…..sadly Bill is not an entertainer and the better part of him ran down his mama's leg.

So Trump gets policy from Hannity and Bush got it from Rush.

Never change, man. You're a hoot.
