Ray Faiola Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Rush's TV studio was up the block from my CBS office on West 57th Street. I met him in the green room when he was waiting to go on the Morning News with Harry Smith. We spoke several times after 60 MINUTES did an excellent segment on him. Rush was a very nice person. He loved broadcasting and he single-handedly rescued AM radio. Every year he hosted a leukemia-thon on his program and raised many tens of millions of dollars. Yes, he often skewered people on pedestals but he always did it with good humor. And when he erred, he always owned up to it. I may not have agreed with his take on every issue, but I respect the enthusiasm and out-of-the box perspective he brought to the dialogue. 2 3 Link to post Share on other sites

LuckyDan Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 No Enemies You have no enemies, you say? Alas! my friend, the boast is poor; He who has mingled in the fray Of duty, that the brave endure, Must have made foes! If you have none, Small is the work that you have done. You’ve hit no traitor on the hip, You’ve dashed no cup from perjured lip, You’ve never turned the wrong to right, You’ve been a coward in the fight. - Charles Mackay 1 Link to post Share on other sites
LsDoorMat Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Did Limbaugh ever quit smoking? This is what I wonder. I knew somebody who quit smoking and 13 years later got lung cancer anyways. It killed him. I don't like saying bad things about the dead, so I'll just say never get that smoking habit kids. It controls you as much as being an alcoholic does. My husband quit in 2008, at age 50, and he'd been smoking since age 13. It was quite the battle, and he says he still wants a cigarette every day of his life. Link to post Share on other sites

Vautrin Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 In a posthumously released statement Rush threw down the gauntlet to a few other right wing hacks. In it Windbaugh bragged that he's been married four times while folks like Trump and Gingrich have only been to the altar three times and dares them to try to tie his record.
