If anyone thinks that I’m in a mood to wish Limbaugh “well”, or that “my thoughts and prayers” are with him, then they shouldn’t “hold their breath”. (bad pun intentional) I just returned to the U.S. after teaching for 15 years in Thailand. While I was there, I had a quadruple bypass performed. Do you know what it cost me? How about ZERO….NOTHING…not a single Baht (Thai currency)! Now that I’m back here, in order to qualify for Massachusetts Medical, I had to voluntarily go into poverty. I now subsist on $750 dollars in Social Security. Last month I had to choose between buying groceries and buying medicine. I chose medicine. I desperately need rotator cuff surgery on my right shoulder, but can’t afford it. I had the same surgery done on my left shoulder in Thailand. Once again, I paid nothing! Limbaugh can afford to hire a small army of doctors and nurses. Since his lung cancer is ultimately of his own making, My sympathy for him is in short supply. In the end, his karma will determine his fate. Perhaps he’ll soon have a chance to chap up Epstein and Roger Ailes. Do you honestly believe that Limbaugh feels the slightest amount of compassion towards the hundreds of thousands of Americans who face life-threatening diseases but cannot afford medical care? No doubt he (and his Dear Leader) think of them as “bums”, who deserve their situation. Does Limbaugh deserve his? Perhaps he’ll have the opportunity to ask Jesus? As for me, if Trump manages to win the upcoming election, I think I’ll head back my lovely home, and spend my remaining time picking coconuts and mangoes from my backyard. If Americans make the conscious choice to shred our Constitution, then I’m probably better off in a country, where although the Generals rule, I and/or my children are not likely to be killed by some nut-case wielding an assault weapon.

I blame the windmills!

Agreed Scooter. We are not fans of Limbaugh. It’s a horrible disease. He will have to face judgement with his maker.

When he finally signs off, I will toast him with an OxyRush cocktail: two parts Gin, one part Hydrocodone and one part Viagra.

Wishes for ill to befall someone who has worked tirelessly to deserve a horrible end always sound churlish and vindictive, so I will refrain from commenting on my ‘thoughts and prayers’.

However, methinks Mister Limbaugh better start working on a convincing cover-story for those trips to Dominican Republic and his ‘outreach’ to the country’s under-age boys…

Regarding Limbaugh’s cancer diagnosis – it’s not really that surprising considering that he smoked for years and has made a point of promoting a lifestyle meant to evoke macho posturing but really connotes a bit of desperation.

And now he has a medical situation that he will need to handle – it’s good for him that he has plenty of medical coverage thanks to his membership in AFTRA as a full-time radio host going back at least 35 years. So unlike millions of Americans he derided, he doesn’t have to worry about a major illness emptying his bank account. (I note that he discussed that people who have more money should be able to afford better care, in the same way that wealthier people can enjoy better hotel rooms and better cars for themselves.)

I have no opinion about his medical status. I don’t wish to see anyone suffer from any disease. I do have great pity for Limbaugh for the way he’s conducted his life. And I continue to hold him responsible for having encouraged bigotry and hatred, and for emboldening so many deplorables to act out their inner viciousness. His spoken motto of “Well, SOMEONE had to say it!” has sadly had consequences for millions of people. And his own viciousness toward others suffering from medical conditions, like Michael J. Fox, has been truly repulsive.

In the final analysis, the best measure I can think of is the Campground standard. Meaning that we can best assess someone’s contribution to the world based on whether they leave the campground a cleaner and nicer place than the way they found it. Rush Limbaugh is a man who has worked hard to make the campground a much dirtier and more unpleasant place for the rest of us, and he’s enriched himself while doing so. I can only hope that his career will serve as a reverse example to broadcasters with any sense of principles.

I’m sure that he’ll update his fans fairly soon with how it’s all going for him.

I would’t be surprised if Blimp-Laugh is just blowing smoke (pun intended) with another con.

“While we have no fondness for Limbaugh, we never wish harm on anyone.”

Of course, I would never wish harm on anyone, even if that ‘anyone’ happens to include someone who has done wished harm and destruction on everyone who doesn’t believe like he does. He is, and has been for a long time, one of the most vile of the RW machine.
I may not have wished this upon him, but I’m not going to wish a quick and full recovery for him, either.
I’m getting sick and tired of us feeling that we have to be the ‘better’ person while scum like Limbaugh wish us nothing but extinction, as brutally as possible.

While he is an odious gasbag who spews nothing but vile hatred on his radio show, I wish him well. Cancer sucks, and I wish it on nobody.
