Rush's Legacy
00:02:36

|
| I was just handed very sad news. | |
| Rush Limbaugh has passed away. | |
| And the man was a giant in the media. | |
| Even those who loathe him would have to acknowledge he was a giant in the media. | |
| I knew Rush every time I saw him. | |
| He gave me a wonderful Cuban cigar, even though I'm not a Cuban cigar fan. | |
| But he gave me the best. | |
| They were great. | |
| He was unique. | |
| I think he was a genius in political analysis. | |
| I do believe that. | |
| He saw what others didn't see. | |
| I can only say, with regard to his death, that his ability to broadcast to the last week, I guess, was a gift to him and a statement, of course, of his perseverance. | |
| It was a gift to him because it means that he didn't have a depressed, painful end as so many people do. | |
| I hope he was accompanied by a loved one or more. | |
| That's a major voice that is gone. | |
| The notion that the man spread hate is only accepted and believed by the left, people who believe the left. | |
| We were on at the same time, so I didn't hear him often. | |
| Some days when I was off, I would hear him, but I've heard him, of course. | |
| Hatred? | |
| He was a hater. | |
| His producer of all those years was a black man. | |
| He adored. | |
| But that's the way they label people. | |
| Well, he went out kicking, shall we say. | |
| Speaking, in his case. | |
| May his soul rest in peace. | |
| He has a legendary status in American life. | |
| I wouldn't have been surprised, given his energy, if he had passed away during a show. | |
