That's a shame. They were lining him up to film the story of the tRump Administration, "Mr. tRump Goes to Washington."

Congrats to 24-year-old Brayden Smith, who won 5 games on Jeopardy in December as part of Alex Trebek's final episodes.

Also, RIP.

The time last year when Rush went on Charlamagne Tha God Breakfast Club show and debated the existence of White Privilege, which he denied:

I recall you had the hots for Lynda and I recall telling you how she lived near American University in DC. A classmate of mine babysat for her and told us that Lynda's bras were humongous.

I'm not sure which image will be more pleasing to you today. That, or Rush in a coffin?

Perhaps one day one of her garments will take its rightful place at the Smithsonian next the the Seinfeld Puffy Shirt Display.



"She's hotter than Georgia asphalt." Sailor Ripley (Nicolas Cage), Wild at Heart

Another idiot straw man post from BearFarce- Rush would be proud.

I used to listen to Rush as a teenager. I was addicted to talk radio. A little bit. Not a lot.

"..I don't mean to disrespect the dead..."

Why? Do you pick up some sort of bonus points for croaking?

Twice he said a year date as "NINETEEN AND FIFTY ONE" and "NINETEEN AND NINETY FOUR".

What stirring theater. I bet if he went down to The Globe, Bill Shakespeare would offer him a part.

I actually had a hard time believing that tweet, so I researched it first:

"...And where he said, "Gays deserved their fate," and had a popular routine with the "AIDS Update," complete with a theme song, Dionne Warwick's "I'll Never Love That Way Again."

Rush Limbaugh, Racist Right Wing Blowhard and Moron, dies at 70 from cancer. Good riddance.

---

Hang on a second - this is too cavalier. There is no evidence that it was a pure cancer death. He had a number of known pre-existing conditions: age, obesity, history of heavy drug use, heart problems, etc. Perhaps his deal with the devil just expired, we really don't know for sure. Cancer may have contributed but his days were numbered. I don't mean to disrespect the dead, just asking questions here.

He got deep stated.

On a related note, good efn riddance.

Did Prescient ConcordTom start this Obituaries thread because he knew Limbaugh would be croaking pretty soon and didn't want him to have his own thread?

Limbaugh was HUGELY influential (from my perspective, hugely damaging to our society and to the nation). An amazing number of people listened to him and pretty much swallowed everything he said. And his bombastic style, bravado mixed with some humor, mocking name calling, never apologize, push the envelope about what's acceptable to say, etc. was the forerunner to Trump.

While he doesn't really deserve it, I am going to say something halfway nice about him (because he died today and it surprised me to learn it). Most people that met him when he was not playing to his audience supposedly found him to be pretty much a friendly, polite gentleman. While sure, he was conservative, his show was a show. His schtick. He was quite aware of that fact. This was anecdotally corroborated by my most leftist of friends, who once, somewhat to his surprise, found himself dealing with Limbaugh in person (a small afternoon meeting) and in a follow-up conference call: "If you didn't know that it was Rush Limbaugh, you never would've known it was Rush Limbaugh."

The fact that he knew that what he was doing was schtick doesn't get him a pass for it, don't get me wrong.

He was really funny in the early 90's shortly after he got syndicated when his small show in Sacramento took off (yes folks, Rush Limbaugh is a California conservative success story). He had funny little songs with Bill Clinton singing the Beatles "Do You Want To Know A Secret? (I Lied to YOU)", Ross Perot singing "They're Coming to Take Me Away (Ha! Ha!), AlGore, Feminazis, etc.

Once he realized how much money he could make, he just became mean. Especially after the Supreme Court decision in Bush v Gore, where his coverage was quite good and departed from the liberal narrative about how the votes were being undercounted in Florida.

Hiring that guy to do Monday Night Football may have been a decision on par with hiring Wyking Jones as our basketball coach. Doomed to fail.

I wonder which current RWNJ talking head scoops up whatever is left of his audience?

I think Dennis Miller was on MNF but I don't remember Limbaugh being on ABC. I think he may have been on ESPN but got booted after saying something about McNabb. Dennis Miller was a disaster anyway on MNF.

Although I think Dennis Miller is a two bit tw@t, I always respected him for this:
I once saw him interviewed. Although he and Al Franken are on polar opposites of the political spectrum, Miller said he loved Al Franken because of how kind and supportive Al was to him during their SNL days. We need more of that.

LOL.

" You didn't like him? Fine. Keep it to yourself for a few days..."

Eva Braun's parents made the same request when their daughter and son in law died.
