Though it's probably ironic he'll be receiving the best of medical care, while not believing other Americans deserve the same should they also fall ill.

Still relevant to the majority of folks that still listen to radio and have no idea what a podcast is.

I think he's definitely the most to blame for turning my parents into assholes. I remember when my dad first started listening to him, probably in the late 80s. My dad drove a LOT for work, so he had Rush on every day. I remember listening to him in the car with my dad when I was in college. Rush was clearly funny and had a strong stance on things that was just unusual at the time. I don't think I realized that there was the huge divide between liberals and conservatives until Rush hammered on it constantly. In fact, I don't think there WAS nearly as big a divide until he started hammering on it (followed eventually by Fox News).

Neither of my parents, my dad especially, were political at all until Rush got his evil hooks into them.

Of the 14 that Trump has handed out, 7 to athletes, one to Orrin Hatch, One to Ed Meese, one to Adelson's wife.

In January, Limbaugh was diagnosed with advanced lung cancer. Two weeks later, he attended Trump’s State of the Union address as a guest of the president and surprise recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the country’s highest civilian honor. In his balcony seat, the 69-year-old host looked frail and somewhat unsteady. Wires from his cochlear implants—Limbaugh cannot hear without them—ran from his ears to his temples. A dusting of white hair encircled his round face. Trump thanked Limbaugh for his “decades of tireless devotion to our country,” and half the chamber broke out into applause.

The award was more than an expression of sympathy for a sick man. It was a very public curtain call for the leading light of American cesspool conservatism. By late October, Limbaugh revealed to his listeners that his cancer is, in fact, terminal. Amid the exhaustion of treatment, Limbaugh has but one final mission in his theater of the culture wars: ensure Trump’s reelection.
