Rush Limbaugh Delivers Emotional Update on His Battle With Lung Cancer: ‘The Days Where I Do Not Think I’m Under a Death Sentence Are Over’

Conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh said Monday that scans taken last week showed his case of stage 4 lung cancer getting worse.

“It’s tough to realize that the days where I do not think I’m under a death sentence are over,” the radio titan told listeners on his afternoon show. “We all know we’re going to die at some point. When you have a terminal disease diagnosis that has a time frame to it, then that puts a different psychological and even physical awareness to it.”

Limbaugh, who runs the top talk radio show in the United States with more than 15 million weekly listeners, first revealed he had lung cancer in February, just a day before President Donald Trump bestowed him with a presidential Medal of Freedom.

Limbaugh said Monday the scans showed the cancer had grown after an initial period of dormancy.

and the Earth.

[Baitball Blogger]

93. +1

[PTWB]

7. I hope he lives long enough to see Trump lose on November 3rd.

After that Limbaugh can check out any time he wants.

[maxsolomon]

55. 2 weeks? He will.

Too bad that Medal of Freedom can't be rescinded.

[NRaleighLiberal]

That is one grave I can't WAIT to dance on!!!

[Initech]

10. Thoughts and prayers.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

11. I don't really care, do U?

I should feel sorry for him, as for anyone with that affliction, but he's caused so much damage for so long with his hateful, vicious comments that I really can't bring myself to give a single tiny fuck.

[PatSeg]

48. I can't imagine that the man

has ever had a compassionate or loving thought for another human being. How truly sad to live such a life, that your passing would bring a sigh of relief from so many.

I sincerely try to never wish anything bad on another person, but the world will definitely be a better place with him gone. What an legacy.

[Vogon_Glory]

12. Rush, I hope you're still alive and compos mentis to watch Joe Biden being sworn in

[helpisontheway]

13. Maybe you will reflect on your evil deeds and make a change during your remaining days

Or you will spout out evil lies about Democrats until you take your last breath. Your choice..

[Docreed2003]

14. I couldn't care less

It will be a great day for America when that asshole is no longer on the airwaves.

[Hassin Bin Sober]

15. My mom died of lung cancer. I wouldn't wish it on anyone.

But for him, I make an exception.

[USALiberal]

45. +1000

[chikita]

81. Hahahahaa

Good one!

[dalton99a]

16. Good for him.

I hope he suffers a long and painful death

[roamer65]

17. This one will definitely grace us with its absence.

[USALiberal]

18. Tough luck! Nt

[SWBTATTReg]

19. Quit whining. I have friends of mine that I truly care about that have fought the CV (and won), and

are generally doing pretty damn good, thank god.

You, RL, drop dead. You don't care about anybody else but your filthy mouth, so drop dead.

[bullwinkle428]

20. Attempting to direct a "Win one for the 'Gipper'" moment on the part

of his knuckle-dragging followers. Sad, grim, pathetic.

[cbdo2007]

21. Thoughts and Prayers that Rush lives to see Trump in prison...and maybe even get brought down with

him.

[grantcart]

22. Who is happiest about this?

Trump

With Limbaugh time slot free Trump will have an open field to run his own broadcast.

Gives him a chance to make real money

[Buckeyeblue]

43. I was thinking that too

He'll need some sort of income to pay those debts.

[BKDem]

23. Too bad. [Yawn] So sad.

[BGBD]

24. Let me know

When he stops twitching.

I'm usually compassionate for something like this.....but that guy has spent his life hurting people. I hold he dies alone.

[Maru Kitteh]

25. Have another cigar Rush. Don't let the nanny state stop you!

[Greybnk48]

26. I wonder what Rush would say if he read this news about a prominent Liberal?

Whatever Rush would most likely say, that's what I say.

[still_one]

27. Will this Purveyor of hate express regrets for the hate he has spread throughout the years?

[KPN]

28. Just one question: can a future President retract a prior presidential medal of freedom?

No sympathy here Rush.

[Sneederbunk]

44. No, or Trump would have done so several times.

[Yavin4]

29. Kind of tough pleading for empathy when he has not shown it to people who died from the virus.

Additionally, he could have used his voice to plead for people to wear masks and pressure the president to do so as well.

Instead he said shit like this:

Rush Limbaugh Says Medical Experts Like Dr. Fauci Are 'Clinton Sympathizers' Who Want to 'Get Rid' of Trump.

"I don't know if anybody noticed it, but little doctor, Dr. Fauci, at the end of the briefing, gave Karl a thumbs up, like a 'job well done' kind of thing," Limbaugh said. "It's just, we've got all of these Hillary Clinton sympathizers still in the medical expert team here."

[ProudMNDemocrat]

30. Rush Limbaugh brought much of this onto himself...

The vitriol he has spewed throughout his radio career will be what is remembered about him. He has little good to be buried with his bones..

[Raster]

31. gosh, I hope the cancer is OK.

[Voltaire2]

32. tots and pears

[friendly_iconoclast]

33. Powers Boothe said it best, in "Tombstone" :

[catbyte]

34. ...

[dubyadiprecession]

35. I hope gasbag provides many nutritional meals for the earthworms he will meet.

They will of course, use his mouth as a toilet, so it shouldn’t be any different than when he used it!

[kirkuchiyo]

36. I've never rooted

for cancer so much...

[Thekaspervote]

37. Karma's s bitch lintball...no sympathy here you hateful pos

[Bettie]

38. I have very little sympathy for him

actually, none.

He is a vile pile of garbage who is, in many ways, worse than the orange pustule. He has done more to divide our nation than nearly any other person.

The world will be a better place once he dies.

I have no more patience with people like him.

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

39. I'll be sure to file this under "meh....". nt

[MyNameGoesHere]

40. Maybe election night will send him to his demonic maker.

We can only hope.

[42bambi]

42. I'm concerned, for now.

[Loki Liesmith]

46. So anything else interesting happening today?

[OAITW r.2.0]

47. Oh, well.

Lucky for him, there is no heaven or hell.

[PghTiny]

49. Die, you racist pill popping pederast!

The world would be better off without Lush Rimbaugh.

[0rganism]

50. hmm... how to acknowledge this news... on the one hand, cancer is a brutal and vicious killer...

yet on the other hand


such a dilemma!

[Moostache]

51. Dammit....I thought he was already dead.

Too bad my bag of fucks to give has been stolen by the Trump family...sorry Rushbo. I don't even have any tots or pears left to throw at you without real empathy included.

People who make money and fame from harming other human beings simply do not deserve even the smallest human kindnesses in their hours of despair. Fuck you Rush. For the innocent or even the largely evil but still redeemable, cancer is not to be wished upon...but for evil doers and soulless husks of pseudo-humanity like you, Hannity, Trump and McConnell, I hope it hurts like hell for a long, painful period of torment and that when you do die, it is in complete and utter agony all the way to Hell.

[Happyhippychick]

52. Isn't cancer from smoking another democratic hoax?

[JI7]

53. What's taking so long ?

[KentuckyWoman]

54. I hope he goes fast

I've watched more people that I care to whither away with cancer. It is horrific to watch and the fair assumption is it is exponentially worse to go through.

Whatever that disgusting person has done in life, I don't wish that sort of death on anyone.

[obamanut2012]

57. giggle

[andym]

58. The Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come has visited

It's up to Rush if he chooses redemption like Scrooge or not. He knows very well what damage he's done-- of this have no doubt.

[Paladin]

59. Adios, motherfucker.

Stretch things out until Biden is President, OK? I don't want trump to allow your sorry ass to lie in state in a prominent DC location.

[liberaltrucker]

60. Shit happens

[stopbush]

61. That asshole can't die quick enough. I hope he suffers, painfully.

[Midnight Writer]

62. He'll take as many of his followers with him as he can. That's what they do. Trump will, too.

[NurseJackie]

63. Hurry up and die, you lousy son of a bitch!

[bluecollar2]

64. Just die already...

Nobody but your fellow shitbags are going to care.

[AmericanCanuck]

65. womp womp

[Baked Potato]

66. Rush, Rush, Rush!

It’s been real!

[Cuthbert Allgood]

67. No shits given.

I don't wish death on anyone much less a death from cancer. But I also don't feel obligated to spend emotional currency on everyone that is dying. This fuckstick gets zero of my emotions.

[Wounded Bear]

68. I was taught if you can't say something nice, don't say anything...

[ProfessorGAC]

69. Weekly Listeners!!!! Weekly!!!

That's the same 3 million people 5 days a week.
Perhaps the rest of media might realize his reach is not quite what they believe it is.
Oh, and also; I don't care if he's getting sicker.

[MFM008]

70. Karma

Can bite like a Megalodon.....

[Mossfern]

71. It is what it is.

[mindfulNJ]

72. Bye Rush.

You would think someone this near to death would pull back and spend time with loved ones...or at the very least start to reflect on and atone for all of the evils he's wrought over the last 25 years...even Lee Atwater did that. Rush is irredeemable.

[Totally Tunsie]

89. Rush has loved ones?

Who knew? He's been married four times, no kids. The present one was "one foot out the door" a few years ago, but stuck around for some reason - the insurance, maybe?

Meanwhile, someone is waiting for him...

[area51]

73. He'll never have a Lee Atwater moment,

and like his friend Trump, only cares about himself.

[Crunchy Frog]

74. Let me know when it's time to buy the champaign. n/t

[Vivienne235729]

75. I hope to god he has an AH HA! moment where he realizes the futility

Worthlessness of his life's work to promote ideas and consequences that hurt humanity instead of improving it. I hope it stings hard. Tots and pears, MF'er.

[durablend]

76. It's after 4 pm

Isn't he dead yet?

[Grins]

77. Thoughts and prayers didn't work?

Imagine that.

[hlthe2b]

78. It is ingrained in me not to wish ill or those suffering. That said...

the nation is the one that has suffered for decades as a result of Limbaugh and his lies, so, I leave it in the hands of fate, the Goddess, or ...

[UTUSN]

79. K&R

[Alhena]

80. Awwww

[Roland99]

82. Not sure the origins of my Dad's cancer

but it metastasized to his ribs, into his lungs and other areas. He stopped eating/drinking about 2 weeks before he passed. I got to see him a few days before he died and he was barely conscious.

That cut me deep. It's been over 5 years now and I miss him every day.

For rush? I hope it ends up being a hundred times worse than what my Dad had to endure.


BTW...


My Dad also had Parkinson's for years (if you'll recall rush and his mocking of Michael J. Fox)

[gopiscrap]

83. I really feel bad for the cancer

of all places these mutated cells had to dwell. Prayers to the cancer cells may you do your job well!!!

[Buckeye_Democrat]

84. Tell Herman Cain that he sucked too!

[smirkymonkey]

85. Oh well.

Do you think he will ever repent for all the hatred he has released into the world?

Neither do I. So fuck him. Good riddance.

[KY_EnviroGuy]

86. I just hope they bury that damn golden microphone with him......

so fake gold-loving tRump can't lay claim to it.........

Al Franken said it best: "Rush Limbaugh is a Big Fat Idiot".

We can bet the right-wing plutocrats will replace him immediately with another just as bad or worse......

[Willto]

87. Did he...

....at any point apologize for the decades of hate radio he has used to divide this country? Did he recant or express any remorse for the thousands of lies he has told over the years? Did he show any regret for his life long smug, hateful, demeanor? Any pang of guilt for filling so many Americans heads with so much disinformation on issues like climate change that it's now impossible to even get them to grasp reality on such an important issue? Did he retract his call for tougher sentences for drug users despite his history of eating vicodin like tic tacs?

I don't wish cancer or death on anyone. My father died this past year of liver cancer. But getting cancer doesn't transform you into a better person or automatically absolve you of all your sins. And Rush is one of the worst humans to ever draw breath on this planet.

Limbaugh has done more than any other one person I can think of to fuel the irrational hatred of the far right in this country. He has helped make compromise between Republicans and Democrats virtually impossible in the climate of hate that he has spawned. Not to mention lining his pockets with cash in the bargain.

[Hekate]

88. Repent, Rush. You have a lot to repent of, & now's the time...

[Totally Tunsie]

90. Well, his advancing cancer will stifle any consternation he

may have regarding wearing a COVID mask. Why bother now, Rushie? Go forth among the masses. "What have you got to lose?"

[dustyscamp]

92. Two extended middle fingers up for Limbaugh

[Imallin4Joe]

94. Fuck Limpblob and his billowing clouds of 2nd and 3rd hand smoke. recced
