Rush has passed

[kpete]

I had 3 brothers, the youngest one died of suicide in 2002, the oldest is a good friend. My middle brother was lost to Rush/co decades ago, we rarely speak - last time was in March 2020 when he begged mr pete & i to take Hydroxychloroquine and trust that trump would take care of us.

Rush Limbaugh has passed away.
you can imagine how i feel today.

1. I thought he'd never leave ...

[magicarpet]

7. Hope he doesn't figure out a way to come back....

Please stay gone....

[lagomorph777]

2. Whew.

[liberal_mama]

3. I've been waiting for this news!

I had a feeling it was coming since he hadn't been on his show in weeks.

[Horse with no Name]

4. I normally don't piss on graves

But happy to make an exception here.
I hope he rots in hell.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

9. Dittos... sorry, couldn't resist!!

[Nay]

5. Finally.

[unblock]

6. I will pay my respects as soon as I can reach his gravesite.

Until then, I will not pee.

8. I'm not sure he's deserving of the kindly eupemism "passed on" but I swore I'd say no more...

so...

10. In the words of my favorite recording artist, Elvis Costello:

“And when they finally put you in the ground
I’ll stand on your grave and tramp the dirt down.”

11. His wife announced it on his show about 15 minutes ago I guess

12. Some grace us by their presence...

This one graces us by it’s absence.

13. thoughts and no prayers

14. I generally consider grave-dancing to be tacky and inappropriate, but

today I'm limbering up for the Macarena.

[cwydro]

15. Well, we know what to expect now.

Reckon I'll take a break today.

Grave-dancing is tiresome. (Obviously not speaking of your OP, but here it comes...)

[Johnny2X2X]

16. I hope he suffered

And I hope he was alone, but I hope he was aware these last 4 weeks that President Biden was making American Great.

17. Finally the toilet flushed!!! n/t

[Solly Mack]

18. The air does seem cleaner.

[jalan48]

19. Well this made today a whole lot brighter.

[TomSlick]

20. I was taught to not speak ill of the dead - if I had nothing nice to say, to remain silent - so:

21. Hell welcomes its newest resident.

The world is a better place not that it is no longer subject to his Excrement in Broadcasting.

[ploppy]

22. One should only speak good of the dead.

Rush is dead. Good.

[theneworiginal]

23. Satan. Table for one.

Rush has destroyed lives. He did it without a gun, but that doesn't mean that he didn't tear lives apart.

[gopiscrap]

24. fuck him, may his fat putrid corpse rot in hell

and me his friends and enablers suffer and grieve in shame

[PCIntern]

25. Ding Dong...

If Trump were still a President we’d have a National day of mourning.

[Crunchy Frog]

26. Wow. I feel a little bit lighter seeing this. Sorry about your brother. nt

[Sprite]

27. His legacy will be that he caused a lot of harm and a lot of confusion in this nation.

Rush was a terrible man. He spewed propaganda and was mean spirited. He was a racist, climate change denier, defended Trump and constantly distorted facts. He paved the way for the current Republican party. May he burn in hell.

[newdayneeded]

28. Hey Hannity

You will move into Rush's time slot, and you are about to have a rude surprise when a ton of rush listeners will turn your show off. your show had the listeners ONLY because their stations just stayed tuned after his show, but the volume was turned down to background filling levels.

29. Interesting. Same terminology as for kidney stones and bowel blockages.

In any case, yes, a dangerous obstruction is gone.
