Rush Limbaugh Says Lung Cancer Treatment Is 'Kicking My A--' and 'I Have Been Virtually Worthless'

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Rarely one to mince words, radio host Rush Limbaugh on Tuesday opened up to his listeners about his draining months of treatment for advanced lung cancer, which he was diagnosed with in late January.

While he acknowledged the latest round of therapies was "kicking my a--" — saying, "For the last seven days, I have been virtually worthless, virtually useless"— he also said there were some things he was reluctant to discuss, such as the specific type of cancer he had, the particulars of how it was being treated and his prognosis.

"The temptation here is to start divulging a lot of stuff, and I’m not gonna do that," Limbaugh, 69, said on Tuesday's show, "because I vowed not to be a cancer patient on the radio. I vowed to shield as much of that from the daily program as I can."

The popular and typically outspoken (and sometimes controversial) conservative host also said he didn't want to open himself up to what he called undue scrutiny from news outlets.

Virtually worthless is the story of your life Limbaugh.

[ibegurpard]

1. Please proceed

Hopefully painfully

[JI7]

2. he should take hydroxychloroquine

[Maru Kitteh]

9. And inject some bleach. Throw in a little insulin.

Just to be certain.

[trueblue2007]

52. Rush ,,,, here is a pretty pink bucket with a sparkle bow. kick the bucket all ready

[fleur-de-lisa]

11. LOL!

[keithbvadu2]

49. Some people say that it's good stuff.

[guillaumeb]

3. He has always been worthless.

Recommended.

[diva77]

19. If all the damage done by his being the pillar of the hate-talk wingnut industry is "worthless"

then I agree with you 1000%

[guillaumeb]

22. Limbaugh and Trump both traffic in hate.

And haters love both of them.

[IllinoisBirdWatcher]

23. Not just worthless. In his own words, "virtually worthless, virtually useless." n/t

[guillaumeb]

27. A bit of self-realization?

Or is he planning to channel Lee Atwater and apologize for all the harm he has caused?

[JDC]

41. My exact first thought

[imanamerican63]

4. Maybe he is right because of the way he feels?

But he has worthless for many years!

[bluestarone]

5. I hear bleach is your answer

Please proceed!

[smb]

6. Huh? He's ALWAYS Been Worthless And Useless nt

[mopinko]

20. gmta

cancer is quite the clue stick.

[Ilsa]

7. He's worthless? Then maybe he should be extinguished.

Just like his nazi friends would promote.

[hlthe2b]

8. I've seen it reported that he has lung cancer...

Certainly not one for which I can easily feel a lot of sympathy. Still, lung cancer is horrendous so I'm not sure I can wish it on anyone--no matter how otherwise deserving.

[dixiegrrrrl]

33. It was reported Stage 4 lung cancer.

He has a right to not discuss it, but the information has already been out there for weeks now.

My Mom died of Stage 4 lung cancer.
Dr. report listed pneumonia as the cause of death, secondary to lung cancer.
It was not an easy death

Russ is in for some bad lingering karma, I'm afraid.

[Xolodno]

45. My father died of stage four lung cancer...

....and was not a smoker. Pretty certain is what asbestos related given his work.

Ultimately, I think Rush is a goner. If I was diagnosed with stage four lung cancer, I'd probably ask the doctor what are the chances of surviving, quality of life in treatment vs. just saying, fuck it, I'm going to do much of my bucket list as I can.

[Brainfodder]

10. Is this where we tell Rush Limpdick how much we hate that he is still alive and don't wish him well?

Asking for sensible people everywhere?

[StarfishSaver]

12. He was worthless and useless long before the treatment

[Thomas Hurt]

13. "because I vowed not to be a cancer patient on the radio..."

Dying or supposedly dying and he is still lying through his teeth.

If he didn't want to be a cancer patient on the radio, he wouldn't have announced he was ill and then continued to do his show.

[bullwinkle428]

34. Duplicitous fucker wants it both ways. Talking about so he can gain sympathy, at the same time

he's insisting he doesn't want to talk about, to gain some phony "tough-guy points".

[lpbk2713]

14. Admit it Rushbo, you have end stage syphilis.

Just go away.

[42bambi]

15. No Rush, what you should do is shield us from your daily bigoted racist rants.

[UTUSN]

16. Note to him: You ravaged the country with Scorched Earth / take-no-prisoners / total-Division

Those are the terms the disease has for you.

[TheCowsCameHome]

17. Bullshit. I heard him yesterday

and his voice was loud and clear and his hated for liberals was stronger than ever.

This is a total fucking lie. I'd bet he has no cancer at all.

He owes Trump big-time for being awarded that medal at the SOTU address, and now he's going give Trump three hours of free campaigning every single day.

Of course if he died, I be happy to be proven wrong.

[Flaleftist]

18. STFU and die already.

[malaise]

21. Not useless enough MoFo n/t

[rurallib]

24. do you suppose that once in his worthless life he isn't lying?

[BrightKnight]

53. You can't really lie about lung cancer and he would not. nt

[Paladin]

25. The world will be improved by his absence. The sooner the better. (nt)

[backscatter712]

26. I know, I'm a horrible person, but after decades of toxicity from this shitsack, I'm on Team Tumor.

[Demovictory9]

28. he used those lungs to spew hate for decades

[Crunchy Frog]

29. He's just being a wuss. Cancer treatment is just like drinking grape juice.

What a whiney baby.

For anyone who needs it

[bluecollar2]

30. Shove a couple of UV Lights up your ass and down your throat Rush

Many people are saying it works....

[John Fante]

31. Worthless for seven days?!

More like, your whole fucking life. You piece of shit.

[dalton99a]

32. Die already, asshole

[demtenjeep]

50. come on satan

do your job

[mercuryblues]

35. That's weird.

I have always thought he was useless and needed a good ass-kicking.

[Demonaut]

36. hurry up and die so I can piss on your grave

[JCMach1]

37. It can take years of suffering before someone passes from lung cancer

... let me just leave that there

[Turbineguy]

38. Fun fact:

Limbaugh has always been worthless.

I would pay more for dogshit than for Limbaugh.

[budkin]

39. He should stop fighting it

And do the right thing. Also, he literally IS a cancer on this nation.

[randr]

40. If he owns guns

Bury them with him.

[MagickMuffin]

42. "For the last seven days, I have been virtually worthless, virtually useless"

Let me fix that for you

"For the last seventy years, I have been virtually worthless, virtually useless"



You were virtually worthless and virtually useless before you were even born.

[Dukkha]

43. Thoughts and prayers f**kwad

[Progressive Jones]

44. He's a fucking traitor to the American Ideal, and always has been. No sympathy for this pig. nt

[Kid Berwyn]

46. "'Virtually worthless' is the story of your life Limbaugh."

Why:

[BannonsLiver]

47. I hope he lives long enough to see Dump lose

[roamer65]

48. You're not dead yet, Rash?

Fucking hurry up and do it.

[BrightKnight]

51. I don't think it's the cancer that has caused that.

At least he made a lot of money. There is a little stoic dignity in that approach to cancer.

[KentuckyWoman]

54. Who tells him

It ain't the dress making his butt look big.
