The news of Rush’s passing today was what I expected as I mentioned to some of you about a week ago. Rush hasn’t been on air for about three weeks and there is no way his ego would let him stay off the air for that long.

He was a conservative icon who basically built conservative talk radio and will be missed.

Now the question that will be interesting is who fills his time slot. He knew his life was going to end sooner rather than later ever since he was diagnosed a year ago with stage four lung cancer and so I am sure he had planned on what would happen with his show. I am sure we’ll find out in a couple weeks, after a suitable period of mourning. .
