Rush & lung Cancer

[Eric P]

Heard to on his show he has lung cancer. Didn't catch many of the details.

But conservatives could loosing a strong voice.

How survivable is lung cancer?

Heard it in the last 5 minutes of his show today. He broke the news like a pro. I know I wouldn't be able to hold it together that well.

It's more survivable than it used to be. Depends on the type and how advanced it is. I'm sure he'll have the best team working on it.

Here's the announcement (transcript and video): https://www.rushlimbaugh.com/daily/2020/02/03/rush-shares-his-cancer-diagnosis/

Depends on the treatment received. he has $$ so what he does is up to him.

As for loosing a strong voice. Mark Steyn can carry that weight.

Mark is brilliant and hilarious but in terms of being the patriarch of the conservative party he doesn?t have quite the following and influence. There can never be another Rush.

I've been following Steyn since before he was a sub on Rush's show and was still living in Canada, but he's no Rush. Nobody really is. Saw Steyn discussing the issue with Tucker Carlson last night and it provided a lot of context. Haven't yet found the video to link here.

ETA: Not great quality, but you can tell what's going on;

Hannity is pretty close in the radio market. Steyn is great but he'll never get the following Rush does.

I don't listen to Rush often but I enjoy his show when I do. Really saddened by this news.

Hannity is pretty good but he sounds angry and so you can?t just relax, be entertained and listen to him like you can Rush or Mark.

I agree. He's way too intense for my taste and he's constantly saying the same things, and repeating the same statistics, over and over. But his radio audience is almost equal to Rush's in size. And his TV show...well, no one is even close for that type of program. He appeals to a lot of people, just like Rush. And I'm guessing many who listen to one, listen to the other.

I end streaming when Rush is done. The only way Hannity is on is if I'm away and don't tell Alexa to shut him off.

Trump awarded him with the Presidential Medal of Freedom during the SOTU. Gave it to him right there in the chamber.

[Gman]

I heard he could get it, but was surprised that they did it right there with Melania putting it around his neck.

[OtterbatHellcat]

I thought it was cool.

Someone very dear to me and who's a member of this forum told me recently that they have incurable lung cancer. The "good" news is that you can live many years with this during treatment, but it's still a shock. We love you Pag.
