As the other one who did not have him (or anybody else so far, but that is another story) I want to warmly congratulate all who did.
Don’t mind me, I just came to roll about in my warm, fuzzy, first points of the year. Mmm-MM!
I seriously did a fist-pump when I read this. These are points I wanted to have!
Had I picked him, he would still be alive.
You’re welcome.
30 big points for me! 
I had Rush, so I’m finally on the board!

I worked in radio off and on from 1987 to 2015. My boss in the Beaver Falls, PA market was the guy who infamously told Rush he wouldn’t go anywhere in radio. Way to pick out talent, Donn.

My very first death pool points, and I am not sad to have these as my inaugural points.
Your service to America, indeed the world, will not go unnoticed. Just unrewarded.
I am really good at not picking the bandwagon choice who carks it entirely as easily predicted. Some US celebs just aren’t on a non-American’s radar, I guess.
Fifteen players already had points, so thirtyfive lose their DP virginity to Rush in a mass orgy.

From 20th place to 58th! Gah!
Was there a “bandwagon” list published? I’d be interested in the top 10 or 15 next most selected
From 29th place to 19th! Woohoo!
imthjckaz is listed twice, in 19th and 62nd place.
I’m just glad I won’t be shut out this year. Champ to chump.

The top twelve were as follows:
| Rush Limbaugh | 50 |
|---|---|
| Shannen Doherty | 35 |
| Tom Parker | 28 |
| Donald Trump | 26 |
| Olivia Newton John | 26 |
| Jimmy Carter | 23 |
| Linda Nolan | 14 |
| Jeff Bridges | 13 |
| Leon Spinks | 13 |
| Mitch McConnell | 12 |
| Prince Philip | 11 |
| Mel Brooks | 10 |
Whereas my first points, in contrast, were from Henry Aaron. Would happily have traded them for Rush. Or given them back altogether.
