WNU Editor: Living in Canada I do not have access to a US radio station that carries his program. I could listen to him on the web via through a radio station live-streaming its feed, but I am always busy in the afternoon. So what I do is once in a while, late at night, I listen/watch him on YouTube while catching up on blogging and/or doing some other work. I have been doing this for about 10 years, and it has become a part of my routine that I catch 2 or 3 of his shows each week. I disagree with him on some issues, agree with him on others, but what I have always liked about him are his political instincts. He has a good read on what is happening in Washington, and he definitely has a good read on what Americans are thinking. As for his announcement this afternoon. I only learned about it when my cell phone told me that there was breaking news that I should check out. Being surprised and sad sums up my feelings. Advanced lung cancer is a hard disease to defeat, but I am confident that he is going to get the best care that is out there. My prayers are with him and his family tonight.

Mega dittos, and Godspeed.
sad. But Rush, on-air, said second-hand smoke does not cause cancer and smoking takes 50 years to cause cancer
He was born in Missouri so he might know where Kansas City is.
Lung cancer at least a decade ago had a 14% cure rate. This is an advanced case, so I don't know. We'll see.
A lot of people will have schadenfruede; the same people who have been trying to get him canceled.
There is something they need to know. Some guests hosts got their start on Rush Limbaugh. Others became more nationally known as hosts. There is a whole constellation of hosts out there. Left winger hosts generally have not prospered,. They tried like Air America or Hightower .. . Alex Baldwit. Thom Hartman is an exception. But not generally.
I've also noticed another thing. It seems most local hosts are conservative. Once the wing nuts get their way are they going after double A as well? Wingnuts are quite active in trying to get conservative hosts cancel on Youtube and elsewhere.
Consider that the nutters have tried to get Dennis Praeger canceled. He is mild mannered. What can they point to? That he is Jewish, but his 1st love is not socialism? That would irk some Jewish liberal nutter on the East Coast.
I thought it was funny that Hugh Hewitt considered his friend Praeger boring. But Praeger was beating him in the rating last I looked. Why are leftwingers so afraid of a boring, non controversial talk show host that almost no one is heard about?
Why are nutters afraid?
Nutters thin they are about to win big with Rush Limbaugh. SO why do the try to shut down talk show hosts like Praeger?
Wht are left wingers scared?
1. Obama doesn’t even know he’s in Kansas City
Seeing as the left is pouncing on Trump for mistakenly typing Kansas instead of Missouri, the number one gaffe on this goes to Obama’s not knowing he was literally in Kansas City. During a satellite chat during the Democratic National Convention in 2008, Obama said, “I'm here with the Girardo family here in St. Louis.”
Now that is bad!
Do you suppose that Joe Biden and Obama swapped spit? It might account for thyem both having the same brain disease of not knowing where they are at.
Iowa City is in Iowa.
Nebraska City is in Nebraska.
A person might reasonably conclude that Kansas City is in Kansas.
Bingo There is a Kansas City, Kansas with a population of 152,958
While Kansas City, Missouri is 3.2 times bigger (pop. 491,918) and has the stadium.
It would be easy to confuse them, if you haven;t been there. How you could pull an Obama and call Kansas City St Louis instead, when you are actually in Kansas city, I think we are dealing with a low IQ person.
Anyway KCK is much nicer than KCM. KCM is run by a Democrat.
"sad. But Rush, on-air, said second-hand smoke does not cause cancer and smoking takes 50 years to cause cancer"
Rush is 69. Do you suppose he picked up smoking as a teenager?
Also, I breathed in a lot of second-hand smoke as a kid. 50 years later I am still alive. So what were you saying?
As a stress relief I think smoking is better for society than looking up porn like some of the reader(s) here for a great part of their day.
My understanding is that 1 in 7 people, who smoke have an allele that if they smoke they are certain to get lung cancer. The other 6 out of 7 are not out of the woods. they is always emphysema.
Porn has been linked to ED. Many porn users have to get harder and harder core porn to get a rise, Basically, it is a death spiral.
How can porn induce erectile dysfunction?
Is Internet Pornography Causing Sexual Dysfunctions? A Review with Clinical Reports?
Then there are the poor guys that use porn so much that they have to use ALL CAPS to be able to read what they write on the screen!
When tobacco was under heavy legal fire years ago I bought some shares of Phillip Morris. Nearly 10% dividend at the time! Held it about 9 months and sold. I may forget my last name but I will never ever forget the palpable, undeniable sensation of lightness and relief I experienced the instant the broker said the shares were sold. It was as if by owning those shares I was engaging in some huge negative towards millions and millions of people I didn't know, never would, and now I was free of a weight I never realized I was carrying.
That was quite the experience.
