"I have been diagnosed with advanced lung cancer, diagnosis confirmed by two medical institutions back on January 20," he said.
Limbaugh said he first started feeling under the weather around his birthday on Jan. 12. He said he considered keeping his cancer under wraps but opted to announce it rather than raise suspicion when he takes time off for treatment."And I wish I didn't have to tell you this, and I thought about not telling anybody. I thought about trying to do this without anybody knowing," he said."Because I don't like making this about me.
"I don't want to burden anybody with it, and I haven't wanted to. But it is what it is. And you know me, I'm the mayor of Real-ville," he said. "So this has happened. And my intention is to come here every day I can and to do this program as normally and as competently and as expertly as I do each and every day. Because that's the source of my greatest satisfaction."
Well deserved considering who Obozo's choices were !!
The same Limburger who said women should not B allowed 2 vote because they are too emotional? The same Limburger who was caught smuggling illegal drugs into this country? The same Limburger who has been married 4 times?That a$$hole received the Medal of Honor.
🤢🤢🤢🤮🤮
Melania, the birther conspiracy propagator, was the natural choice to honor this racist Rush Limbaugh creature.
Fake response.
He deserved that as much as she did an Einstein visa.
I like the fake 'surprise' limbaugh shows here, he's more worthy of an Emmy than this award. this was campaign fakery at it's best. limbaugh is divisive and destructive to our nation and has done us all great harm. trump knows that and has proven his incompetence here.
Tarnished the award.
Quite the diva. Him, not her.
What an embarrassment
Wow...to this dude? Mind as well give this award to my foot. My foot stopped the subway door and allow another 20 to 30 passengers got on the train and I bet all of them got to work on time!
Scavino45 Finally no more medals to sexual predators✨
BeBest , huh?
Might as well gave this medal to Goebbels.
Her defining moment
I know he got cancer and all that but he was spreading cancerous word of racism. Of course the trupmer is going to get awarded. God have Mercy on you all.
This made me tear up! Thank you cancer. Now there’s this other guy in the White House who needs your attention. You can’t miss him, he’s orange with yellow hair, and looks like he might stink, so come with all your strength. Please and thank you 🙏🏽
Melanie the most graceful flotus EVER x1000000000000
What’s the over/under on how many past recipients return theirs in protest? 1.5? Sorry to say the scum-publicans are taunting all the good but ineffective Americans now
TODAYshow Why did they give this to him?
Scavino45 ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Why does Rush look surprised when I learned it this afternoon?
like everything else, realDonaldTrump has now rendered the medal of freedom meaningless.
TODAYshow Hey FLOTUS Remember when rushlimbaugh mocked MichaelJFox ? But yeah. Give him a Presidential medal of freedom. BeBest
What the fuck? What qualifies him?
Gross -
TODAYshow Disgusting.
Wow...maybe if I dope up on opiates for years and just rant and ramble incoherently on the radio for years I can win an award someday 🙄😒
BreakingNews That was beautiful! Rush Limbaugh is one of the greatest patriots this country has ever had.
TODAYshow Perhaps I’ve misunderstood the criteria for this award. I didn’t know being a gigantic shitwad qualifies one for any kind of medal.

I am going to vomit

Omg! Rush looks awful. That’s what evil does can do to the body.
I don't care, do you?
I survived cancer three times and lost my fu*king arm!! Oh wait, I didn’t kiss his ass so I guess I get zero recognition...
What
Heres Rush for you ....You know who deserves a posthumous Medal of Honor? James Earl Ray [the confessed assassin of Martin Luther King]. We miss you, James. Godspeed.”
Fucking joke.
i just threw up in my mouth...
What. Utter. Bullshyt.
Gee, I'm sorry. His lungs have given so much to right wing extremists.
He is screwed. Oh well I wonder whats for dinner tonight.
Good riddance.
Rush spent his career bearing false witness against his fellow man. He professed to be a Christian man. He will be spewed from his lords mouth and be cast into a lake of fire for eternity. If you think that’s harsh, maybe don’t Christian so much.
It is hard to have empathy for a vile human being. In the other hand, children still in cages and we have a criminal racist as president. Important news.
Lies
Liberal outrage in 3...2...1
Bye asshole. SorryNotSorry
This is a good time for repentance. Inner change can only come from the heart.
Rush Limbaugh is an honorable and honest man. I wish the rest of the media would try and emulate him.
there's hope for humanity after all
This one is too easy...
Is it the Christian Conservative kind of cancer where if everyone sends in $100 God will cure it?
CLSpuukiiy Stop. I am trying not to be happy about this because Karma can be a Bitch. I just remember all the people with serious health issues he openly ridiculed. I rest my case.
CLSpuukiiy Miracles happen!
Were those doctors all Democrats?
Meh
I wonder what he would have been feeling or said if it had been Obama? Maybe dancing on his desk? This man is so full of hate I find it very hard to feel bad for him. He has found so much joy in others tragedies. Guess he will be living his own now!!
Too bad so sad...not
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣👏👏👏👏
Rush Limbaugh announces that he has advanced lung cancer. In other news I had a ham sandwich for lunch.
BOO HOO WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND HATE IS EATING HIM FROM INSIDE OUT
This thread here is the difference between liberals and conservatives and correctly illustrates the truth that the party of hate are the Democrats. Even though I loathe Nadler, I still sent him a nice message wishing his wife a swift recovery.
As much as I dislike this SOB and his corrupt lying ways, I shall send out my prayers and thoughts.
Karma
Thanks for yesterday’s news.
Death to all Tyrants!
From verbal diarrhea no doubt!! This is what poisonous vitriol can lead to!
Sorry not going get any sympathy from me! Deserves what he gets after a lifetime of being an A-Hole! riprush
Rush Limbaugh bash Obama for 8 years
Aww man, this is sad news. I had always hope Rush would meet his demise penniless in a prison cell.
“There is no conclusive proof that nicotine’s addictive... the same thing with cigarettes causing emphysema, lung cancer, heart disease.” —Rush Limbaugh
He won't be missed.
Let see how the bleeding heart left responds with their legendary tolerance 😂😂😂😂
Awwwe, OH WELL!
Get well dude
Rush is a narrow-minded and mean-spirited conservative. I don't wish cancer on anyone. Maybe his illness will make him kinder and more compassionate of the less fortunae.🙏
I hope he gets better - and owes up to all the lies he's told and the harm he's done..
Finally reports good news
Don’t care.... even a little.... what a horrible man
Nice work ! This “news” is a day old. lamestream
Cancer is a diagnosis I would not wish in my worst enemy. My friend, non-smoker has small cell lung cancer and it’s a fight ever day. I pray that God forces him to re-evaluate his life and comments.
Seeing how he has poked fun at other’s health issues
Cancer is not anything you would wish on anyone but he should give his lungs a rest from all the negative talk radio. Negative 👎 energy is bad for cancer. Get off the air!
Atonement
Hope trump doesn't pull his health insurance out from underneath him like he has for other people who don't make the news and have to deal with catastrophic health issues and lack of health insurance.
IDGAF!
Poor cancer you got Rush Limbaugh 😏
Unfortunately, I have advanced apathy.
As nasty, ugly, mean and hateful as Rush Limbaugh has been through the years, a cancer diagnosis sucks. Let’s be better than what he would give and either not comment or wish him well. No need to be Trumpian.
Karma
😘 sleep good boy!
May he suffer as much as those he has chosen to attack, ridicule, belittle, and deny all in the name of greed.
Good... I hope this RACIST crook over NASCAR FAST!!!
I don’t really care, do you?
I'll show him exactly as much compassion as Limbaugh has showed others
Lived to long already.
Sooo...God is finally putting some chlorine in the gene pool...bout time.
I guess all that hot carcinogenic air caught up with him. I hope he has an easier death than my sister did, cancer sucks.
WOW! You people are sick! As despicable as I think “pencil neck” is I would not rejoice if this happened to him. YOU ALL need help with your TDS!
Just to be clear , everyone dies. It’s just a matter of how.
Didn't we go through something like this with him a few years back; lost his voice forever or something? Or was that a different nut job?
I am very sorry for Limbaugh and his family. It does not changed the fact that he is a very angry, vile, and vicious man on his radio show determined to spread lies and conspiracy theories that divide the nation and demean parts of society.
Rush May he receive the same compassion, understanding, and empathy that he has extended to others throughout his life.
I remember the grief he gave Clinton when Bill said he didn't inhale. Thise $100 stoges, you're not supposed to inhale...
Replying to Sir, at this time in your life, you NEED to REPENT to the LORD thy GOD for any and All SINS that YOU HAVE COMMITTED, be BAPTIZED in the NAME of JESUS CHRIST for the REMISSION OF SINS, RECEIVE the HOLY GHOST AND FIRE, AND OBEY GOD'S HOLY WORD. Sister R Murray
do get well soon limbaugh
go quickly and quietly
Wish Rush Limbaugh & his family well. Lost my father to lung cancer. My father wished compassion & redemption to everyone who coveted bias, racism & greed. I wish the same for you. 'Get well soon, as*hole' - as you would say.
He won’t be missed...
Not surprising considering the poison he spews from his mouth
May he receive the same compassion, understanding, and empathy that he has extended to others throughout his life.
Thoughts and Prayers™
Dear Rush, Longtime listener. First time caller. I feel no shame. I do not care about your health. When rich people get caught up with a terminal disease it's just because they don't do reg checkups. You chose not to take care of yourself. Many don't get to choose.
To use the logic of Billy Graham and his hypocracy god is punnishing this man for the years of lies a n d hate he spews. I believe it is Karma in this case.
Yikes. Twitter has some truly sick people on it.
😥😓😥😓
May it be a slow and painful death. I will not miss him. Nor will anyone in my family.
Thoughts sure- prayers meh
