Rush Limbaugh says he has advanced lung cancer

Poor guy ... I never really liked him or his opinions, but lung cancer is nothing I would wish on anyone.

I hope he recovers completely.

I know he smoked when he was younger and I think he still smokes cigars which gives off second hand smoke.My mother died of lung cancer from smoking when she was 49,I'm not real optomistic but lets hope he beats this,but lung cancer is a hard to beat.

He lost what remained of my respect for him with his comments about GT, but I do hope he beats this cancer.

Mr. Limbaugh may in fact be one of us. I hope he can either recover good health or die a good death; though I'm not a fan of his radio show he has made his way into broadcast history and anyone who likes AM radio should thank him for keeping the format alive.

I wondered about it because he seems to have kind of a weird sense of humor, and a tendency to be blustering & loud. Cigar smoking was a fairly niche hobby when he reintroduced it (or so I heard) and he also reminds me of the way autistic folks think because of his tendency to associate a lot of things...I think it's called hyperassociation? Interesting stuff. Just a hunch of mine.
And it does seem odd. Autistic people on this particular website tend to have the same political views, it seems, and a majority of the same personalities. But this is a fairly homogenous echo chamber, I think, and doesn't reflect the real world very well. I used to rather enjoy his radio show but the more I studied medieval logic the less his arguments made sense, and I also used to think ADHD was made-up, so it's possible for autistic people to sound like the typical NT stuff.

Anyhow, it's not fun to hear about people dealing with advanced cancer.

As much as I despise Limbaugh, I know that death by cancer is a hard way to go, and I wouldn't wish it on anyone.

Cigar smoke is more “first-hand” smoke than cigarette smoke.

I wish Limbaugh luck in his recovery.

Though I am not a fan of Limbaugh (though I did like his appearances on Family Guy), I hope he recovers.

I think his Family Guy appearances just go to show he has a healthy sense of humor--the "Republican Town" number comes to mind. Lot better sense of humor than some of what shows up on Wrong Planet, for sure.

Limbaugh has an excellent sense of humor. He's an amiable guy.

His politics suck, though.

Does the public have a "right to know" what caused his lung cancer?
Isn't that the sort of issue he would bring up if another public figure were involved?

People who never smoked have gotten lung cancer. The lungs can develop cancer for no discernible reason just like the brain, liver, stomach, pancreas, colon, kidneys, badder etc.

Interesting. Cancer is pretty easy to get, actually. Cigars and cigarettes sure don't help, though.
