| The one and only. A magnificent patriot and an inspiration to millions. |
On Monday’s broadcast, RUSH LIMBAUGH shared the news that he has been diagnosed with late stage lung cancer. We’re still in shock and more than a little disoriented. This isn’t how the world is supposed to work.
More than ever, we desperately need Rush’s clarity of thought, keen analytical abilities, unsurpassed ability as a communicator, his wonderful sense of humor, and the calming influence of his optimism and positivity. His accomplishments and his ongoing importance cannot be overstated.
Rush Limbaugh, through his radio presence, was our personal conduit into the world of Conservative thought. When he first appeared in the Dallas radio market, we heard that he was a whack job and raving wild man of the airwaves. And so we tuned in, expecting an enjoyable freak show. We couldn’t have been more wrong.
What we heard on Rush’s show was sanity and perspectives we’d never thought about previously. In fact, it was Limbaugh who made us realize that we hadn’t really been thinking at all when it came to politics, just acting on feelings and untrue stereotypes. Which is one of the reasons why, years later, we’re still blogging to do penance for the many Democrats we voted for when we were young and stupid.
In our home, Rush Limbaugh has become a friend and companion. A constant over the years, and someone who we knew could both enlighten us and simultaneously lighten our burdens.
Rush’s cancer diagnosis has hit us hard emotionally, but we’re a long way from giving up hope. Limbaugh is a fighter, and we don’t believe that we’ve heard the last from him. He has a rough medical road ahead, but hopefully he will be buoyed by the sentiments and prayers of the millions who love him.
And in the meanwhile, we’ll do our best to soldier on right here – speaking truth as accurately as we can while mixing in enough humor to make it go down smoothly. A combination which we definitely learned from the man behind the golden EIB microphone.
BREAKING NEWS: Rush Limbaugh received the Presidential Medal of Freedom at last night’s State of the Union Address! What an unexpected and delightful moment.
