Rush Limbaugh claims latest round of cancer treatment could sideline him from show

"Rush Limbaugh can’t just hang up on this foe.

The conservative radio host admitted to his dedicated listeners that his advanced lung cancer treatment had been walloping his body.

“There have been many cycles, but this is the third wave, and this current wave, I have to tell you, is kicking my a--,” Limbaugh said Tuesday on air. “For the last seven days, I have been virtually worthless, virtually useless. I haven’t left the house. I haven’t done much of anything.”

Limbaugh, 69, disclosed his diagnosis in early February.... (continues) "

All men have an emotion to kill; when they strongly dislike some one they involuntarily wish he was dead. I have never killed any one, but I have read some obituary notices with great satisfaction.

Hoping he lives until Nov 10. Just long enough to see trump and the republicans go down in an embarrassing, humiliating defeat. Let him see it. Let him linger in agony on it for 7 days. Then let him die and go live in hell where he is surely going.

17. Last July I was diagnosed with breast cancer.

May 2020

By the end of October I finished my 4th course of chemo. I didn't bounce back afterwards like I did with other times I had the chemo. I was suppose to have 6 rounds but since my labs came back with poor numbers my doctor said no more and I was given 2 rounds of blood.

So I know what he's talking about and believe me it's unreal. I have often said I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.

I now take that back. I never thought I would say that but after what he's said and done to purposely to hurt people for no reason at all I just can't help it. Please don't think harshly of me but he deserves it.

Aw, don't worry, boo. You still got your wall of books with your butt-face on the covers, a bottle of pecker-stiffener (and other substances, for which you want others executed), and a box of cigars to comfort you, right?

Rush Limbaugh on morality: Trump “doesn’t care” if Scarborough murdered a woman, doesn’t believe it, but is spreading the rumors that the woman’s family has said cause deep pain, just to drive moralizing people crazy.

Rush Limbaugh praises the president for being "clever" in sharing conspiracy theories: “Trump is just throwing gasoline on a fire here, and he’s having fun watching the flames

There's no way to gauge the damage he caused our country in pursuit of his own personal glory, fame and fortune.

It's at times like these that I wish I believed in an afterlife. I can hear Rush now: "Hey, Satan. First time caller, long time listener".

Satan: "Ditto"
