Rush Limbaugh Has Merged With The Infinite

[lewisnotmiller]

Not a fan, but he's in no pain now, which is good. Hope he rests peacefully.

I read that earlier today, and my first thoughts were of the episode he did on Family Guy playing himself. It was a decent episode, a surprising "across the aisle" extension of a bipartisan effort, and it did show Limbaugh could at least take it like he gave it.

That was an interesting ep.

I don't enjoy the idea that he went through significant suffering before passing. I just hope more and more of the people who have beliefs similar to his change their minds before said beliefs lead to the harm of anyone else.

Rest in peace.

I'm sorry, but how did he do that?

Besides raising millions and giving millions to fight Leukemia?

 

[Evangelicalhumanist]

Not on the list of those I admired. Still, I don't wish death on anyone, and certainly not the misery of that horrible disease.

i think he did massive disservices to the world, but that said, i hope his passing wasn't too painful

I recall back in the 90's he was this huge cigar smoking fan. Wonder how much that had to do with his lung cancer? Hanging out in smoke-filled rooms and breathing all that is not good for the lungs, experts say. I seem to recall he like to make fun of experts a lot on his shows. I wonder if he ever laughed at those who talking about smoking and cancer, like he'd laugh at all the other warnings experts said?

Rush Limbaugh, conservative talk radio pioneer, dead at 70
RIP, dude.

Yeah, I heard this on the radio earlier today. I was never much of a fan of Rush. My father was a staunch conservative, but my father was more of a low-key, soft-spoken type. He thought Rush was more of an entertainer than anything else.

But he was entertaining. I'll give him that. Rest in peace.

I'm not sure if that was the cause of his lung cancer. The type was not disclosed.

Rush Limbaugh dies following lung cancer complications: What to know about the disease


Think of the late George Burns. He smoked like a chimney. Still it could be possible smoking was a factor.

See, I don't believe that. Certainly for most people, but some people are pretty nasty. Rush helped plant the seeds for the Modern Conservative who's fruits are currently a rift within the Republican party.
Ultimately, Limbaugh was a peddler of divisiveness and discord. It made him more wealthy than what most of us will know.
Cancer is nasty, but it doesn't erase who someone was.

I heard him a couple of times and decided he was too toxic. After that I never heard from him again, not for many years. He was a 'Hypocrisy vulture' not a killer of truth. Like a vulture he was just the messenger letting us know that some truth had freshly died. He thrived from hypocrisy but was not truly the cause of it.

I thought the lobster incident was funny, though I never heard the details and thought he had eaten lobster bought at auction, but that wasn't what happened.

"Mary Tyler Moore once offered a restaurant $1000 for a 65 year-old lobster so she could return it to the wild. Rush Limbaugh then offered $2000 to eat the lobster. The restaurant denied both offers and kept the lobster as a mascot."

I'm not sure but I think this was what spawned the SNL lobster skit in which someone goes to a diner to order lobster. Then the thing turns into a musical in which the lobster ponders his identity -- starring Kenan Thompson.

RIP, dude.

Very peaceful, unifying choice words "Merged with the infinite." Straight from the hudsucker proxy. I like it!

Observant you are!
One of me favorite movies.

I didn't agree with Rush Limbaugh, but R.I.P. none the less.

*MOD POST* This is not the right place to air greviences about his character or politics. Take that to a debate area, please. *MOD POST*

That is something good.
