I said, "well he's obviously faking it." and he was stunned at my reaction. Then I reminded him that is what he said about Michael J Fox's parkinson's and he just shriveled away in silence.

It was his one and only chance to be normalized. He lasted a few weeks before being fired. Thank You Tom Jackson. Rush retreated to the safety of RW radio never to be seen again by normal folks.

He could have it at Maralego. See him in the hearse, then March back in the house.

Of course it would not be on the tax payer.

?

... and not even mentioning what Limbaugh said about him. He should leave that to others.

Just posting a few Rush Limbaugh quotes, the man 45 gave the presidential Medal of Honor to before leaving office. He died about 30 minutes ago.

“Women we’re doing quite well in this country before feminism came along.” ~ Rush Limbaugh

“Slavery built the South. I’m not saying we should bring it back; I’m just saying it had its merits. For
One thing, the streets were safer after dark.” ~Rush Limbaugh

“Socks is the White House cat. But did you know there is also a White House dog?” (While holding a picture of 13-year old Chelsea ) ~ Rush Limbaugh

“There is a movement to normalize pediophilia, and I guarantee you your reaction to that is probably much the same as your reaction when you first heard about gay marriage.” ~ Rush Limbaugh

"The NFL all too often looks like a game between the Bloods and the Crips without any weapons. There, I said it."

"I think it's time to get rid of this whole National Basketball Association. Call it the TBA, the Thug Basketball Association, and stop calling them teams. Call 'em gangs."

"Have you ever noticed how all composite pictures of wanted criminals resemble Jesse Jackson?"

On Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb: "I think what we've had here is a little social concern in the NFL. The media has been very desirous that a black quarterback do well. There is a little hope invested in McNabb, and he got a lot of credit for the performance of this team that he didn't deserve. The defense carried this team." [Limbaugh resigned from ESPN's Sunday NFL Countdown pregame show after uproar over these comments.]

"The NAACP should have riot rehearsal. They should get a liquor store and practice robberies."

"Everything in Africa's called AIDS. The reason is they get aid money for it. AIDS is the biggest pile of, the biggest pot they throw money into."

Responding to a caller who said black people should have a greater voice on issues: "They are 12 percent of the population. Who the hell cares?"

On Barack Obama, during the 2008 election: "A veritable rookie whose only chance of winning is that he's black."

"If any race of people should not have guilt about slavery, it's Caucasians. The white race has probably had fewer slaves and for a briefer period of time than any other in the history of the world ... And yet white guilt is still one of the dominating factors in American politics. It's exploited, it's played upon, it is promoted, used, and it's unnecessary."

Feminism was established so as to allow unattractive women access to the mainstream of society."



This is a very small sample. I don’t want to start another Limbaugh thread, but I wish we had one using his own words, and letting them speak for themselves
