Rush Limbaugh, the irresponsible shamed phony conservative commentator who profiteered off his vulnerable audience who followed his every word has died. He was 70.
The profiteer forged a new toxic landscape for talk radio inflaming the partisan divide that came to characterize political discourse in the United States.
“For over 32 years, Rush has cherished you, his loyal audience, and always looked forward to every single show. It is with profound sadness that I must share with you directly that our beloved Rush, my wonderful husband, passed away this morning due to complications from lung cancer,” his wife, Kathryn, said Wednesday.
“As so many of you know, losing a loved one is terribly difficult, even more so when that loved one is larger than life.”
