Katherine Limbaugh opened Rush's show this morning to read a statement from herself, family and Rush - he died this morning after a year fighting lung cancer.
Man, I'll miss that guy; listening since about 1990 - like him or not, he had an enormous impact and educated millions of people about liberty.
I sent my parents on a trip to New York for their 40th Anniversary. In addition to hotels, dinners and a Broadway show, I got them front-row seats to Rush's first TV show episode after his wedding to Marta. So they got to meet him, on camera, he signed their book, which I have to their day and it was the highlight of their trip. I was so happy to have been able to do that for them.
RIP, Rush.

His depth of knowledge and command of the language blended with a solid sense of humor even in the dark days of Rapey Billy and Odumbass (sure, later on I'm sure he had staff to do research) was extraordinary - a very rare person we might see a handful of times in the course of our life.
I understand he was quite shy when clocked out, but he would have been a helluva person to know and spend time with.

LOL, snarky from the get-go.
Loved ya, Rushbo.
Fun fact; Rush and I were both on the air in '74. (Does this fact make my ass look old, honey?)
