Limbaugh has been a leading voice of the political right and a nemesis of the left since launching his show in 1985 amid the Republican revolution of Ronald Reagan
Conservative radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh announced on Monday that he has been diagnosed with “advanced lung cancer” but plans to continue to do his program “as normally and as competently” as he can while he undergoes treatment.
“But as I said, I’m going to be here as often as I can,” he added. He said he hoped to return to the airwaves on Thursday. The radio host began his announcement expressing discomfort at talking about himself, then went on to say: “I have to tell you something today that I wish I didn’t have to tell you.”
Detractors such as liberal former Senator Al Franken – a onetime comedian who wrote a book titled “Rush Limbaugh is a Big Fat Liar” – have criticized him as a divisive figure who routinely distorts the facts. Much of Limbaugh’s appeal has been attributed to his brash, colorful style, and his delight in baiting liberals.
