Rush Limbaugh won.

[ClarkJonathanKent]

I will be happy when Rush is finally off the air in every market....but he still won in the end. For almost 30 years, the dude was worshiped by millions, paid hundreds of millions, and was never held accountable or personally responsible for anything, including illegal activities. He is obscenely wealthy and will live an extravagant lifestyle for the rest of his life, and will probably still be romanced by conservative politicians regardless of whether he had a radio show. Some people never pay for their misdeeds or hypocrisy, and he will be one of them.

1. he certainly helped to divide America

it's almost like two Americas - people with critical thinking skills and people who think and behave like sheep

[wendylaroux]

6. yes,

not just sheep though,but mean,asshole sheep.

[Skittles]

16. yes, I don't mean to disparage sheep

very gentle animals and there's not much cuter than a lamb

[ileus]

2. Tomorrow could be the day you realize your sweet revenge.

Don't give up now....all of today's bitterness won't be wasted if something really bad happens tomorrow.

[edhopper]

3. True

but by all accounts he is a miserable, lonely man, with substance abuse problems.

[hifiguy]

13. Karma is seldom cheated.

Fuck him. I hope the evil shit dies alone and forgotten.

[TheCowsCameHome]

4. And eventually he'll wind up like everyone else on the planet

Very dead


He won nothing.

[Warpy]

9. And on his deathbed

he will be tortured by the fact that he can take none of it with him, that he exits this life as naked and helpless as he came into it.

Until then, retirement will not be pleasant if he lives longer than 10 years or so. People will forget quickly and be on to the next gasbag. He'll have to keep reminding people what a big shot he used to be. He will be an object of ridicule and pity.

15. On NPR this morning

there was a story about a new novel featuring Nixon - written by some video game writer - that reduces his action to a comic fight against varios supernatural forces.

The moral of this story? If you live your life as an out-sized clown, you will be available to historical generations to mock as they please. Cultural Historians and future literati and/or the entertainment-media-industrual-military-hypnotoad complex will have field day with Rush.

[malaise]

12. +1,000

Fugg the scumbag

[countingbluecars]

5. And he probably has a good laugh

every night at the stupid people who buy his bullshit.

[LAGC]

7. Rush Limbaugh has become a complete and total asset to our cause.

Not only has the moron completely embraced Donald Trump and help alienate countless more Latinos, every time he bad-mouths the Establishment GOP and the likely nominee, that's one less Republican voter who is going to actually show up next November to pull the lever.

He may have once been a force for promoting GOP turnout and GOTV, but right now he's doing everything he can to make the unthinkable happen: a Democratic re-takeover of Congress in 2016.

Seriously, he should be on the DNC payroll. Just like Donald Trump.

[spanone]

8. he won shit. hate is not a win.

[Paladin]

10. Him and Goebbels: Two of a kind.

Masters of hate speech dissemination. Not much of an epitaph.

[oberliner]

11. He certainly achieved his career goals

If that's winning, then I would agree with your assessment.

[alphafemale]

14. Especially when you know him from KDKA and Rush Limbaugh was a joke personna

He followed that money spiral to hell.
