This day has been long in coming. It is not an exaggeration to say that AM radio survived another 30 years on his back.
Rush told his audience today that he has advanced lung cancer. Rush is a cigar smoker, but the lungs are frequently where cancer metastasizes from another location.
Keep Rush in your thoughts and prayers.
One of the things people don't seem to get about Rush (particularly those on the left) is that he never expresses any 'hatred' of the liberals and democrat voter or listener. He sees them as uniformed or misinformed (low information voters), or dis-informed by democrat leadership, and part of his job is to offer enlightenment to the misguided.
I don't think anything satisfies him more than a 'former democrat' listener who has "seen the light" and calls to thank Rush for his perseverance in showing the way…
What everyone in the country should be angered at, is the -refusal- of Pelosi and her crew to stand during the presentation of the Medal of Freedom to Rush. That gesture was anti-Freedom, and Congress and the Press should have excoriated her severely for it.
Rush's performance has not been affected by his condition. He sounds as energetic and playful as ever, but now one can't help but thinking that, whether he recovers or not, we are reaching the end stage of an incredible career.
