Conservative radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh announced on Monday that he has been diagnosed with “advanced lung cancer” but plans to continue to do his program “as normally and as competently” as he can while he undergoes treatment.
“But as I said, I’m going to be here as often as I can,” he added. He said he hoped to return to the airwaves on Thursday. The radio host began his announcement expressing discomfort at talking about himself, then went on to say: “I have to tell you something today that I wish I didn’t have to tell you.”
Detractors such as liberal former Senator Al Franken – a onetime comedian who wrote a book titled “Rush Limbaugh is a Big Fat Liar” – have criticized him as a divisive figure who routinely distorts the facts. Much of Limbaugh’s appeal has been attributed to his brash, colorful style, and his delight in baiting liberals.
I wouldn’t wish advanced lung cancer on anyone, but it definitely is refreshing to see someone get it who actually deserves it. RIP Rush.
Terrible. Let's count how many 'tolerant liberals' wish death upon him immediately for things they are unsure he said or not.
