TODD: I want to talk to Brian in north Alabama. Brian, you re on the Rush Limbaugh program as Todd Herman filling in for our departed friend. Brian, welcome to Rush s show.
CALLER: Thank you for taking my call. And my condolences go out to Rush s family and the staff there and all of his listeners. I wanted to touch on a point you made earlier about you can t separate the family. My mom and dad listened to Rush from the get-go. My dad he s passed, but my mom still listened, and she s cried nearly every day since he died.
CALLER: I can't think of a single personality, individual, who has ever been able to hold an audience of any size, let alone the size of his audience, for that amount of time.
