Rush began his career working with the Kansas City Royals, and remained close friends with Royal Hall of Famer George Brett. As a life long Royals whose favorite all time player is George Brett, I felt I had a sort of kinship with the both of them.
I started listening to Rush in 1989 and have always been proud to be a dittohead. Rush saved talk radio, and paved the way for many people who are stalwarts in the industry today, inclusive of Mark Levin, Sean Hannity and Glenn Beck. We all owe a debt gratitude to Rush for that alone.
The left despised Rush, considering him the most dangerous man in America. As far as identifying their hideous objectives, they had good reason to be alarmed. Nobody understood the political landscape like El Rushbo. He had a keen ability to ascertain the political objectives and avenues of pursuit of those trying to transform our beloved United States of America.
Rush provided political theatre which was entertaining and astonishingly accurate. He treated his audience with respect and kindness, and made us all welcome to be a party to it all.
President Donald Trump recently awarded Rush Limbaugh the Presidential Medal of Freedom. It was an honor which floored Limbaugh, but it was very well deserved.
Rush Limbaugh cannot be replaced. I will miss him dearly. RIP Rush!
Rush employed many guest hosts over the years, but perhaps the favorite of the legion of Limbaugh followers was Mark Steyn, whose employed with elegance outstanding knowledge and wit. Steyn is fantastic.
Today, on Steynonline, Mark Steyn penned a post about Rush that says it all. Please read the piece, linked below, which closes in the best possible way: Talent Returned to God!
