Well, he is a ham.

Honesty is tasteless. Can’t say I’m surprised to have that coming from you.
I remember a guy who may have more-or-less started the ball rolling on the shouty, insulty, ugly RW assholery (no TV, though), and others, including the thread subject, followed his lead, refining the method. That guy apparently died of lung cancer (he was a prominent smoker, who would autograph fans’ cigarettes, but changed his tune when he was diagnosed).
I disagree with your opinion. Very strongly.
Yes, can you provide any substantive support for your various assertions? Or is it just a feeling. What one laudable thing did the junky do? Give us even one.
I rip what I sew. I’m a lousy haberdasher.

You can be lousy at sewing and be a great haberdasher.
From what I read this morning, Rush quit smoking cigarettes in 2010 when he married his current wife. Cigars probably had nothing to do with his cancer unless he, like William Buckley, inhaled them.
Was his name Morton Downey Jr.?
Had to be. He autographed cigarettes. I was in the audience for a show recording in the 80s. It was broadcast from Secaucus.
No, you haven’t been misinformed but he started smoking cigarettes at age 16. I remember watching him smoke cigarettes, years and years ago. I don’t know when he switched to cigars.
An article says he quit smoking cigarettes in the 80s, so I could be wrong but my memory serves up a picture of him or a doppelganger smoking like a chimney in the very late 80s or early 90s.
Yes, he has. And he received more than one post supplying evidence.
it was
It crosses my mind that he might have been frequently exposed to secondhand (firsthand?) smoke, though, so no doubt some carcinogens found their way from his cigars to his insides regardless.
And regarding his impending suffering and death, I seem to have misplaced my violin. Possibly on account of it being so small…
Well, my aunt died of lung cancer, at 70, some years ago. There was no kind of smoking going on in the family. It might be possible that she was exposed to smoke in the office, but she did not work at all outside the home until the '80s or '90s, by which time smoking at work rapidly was being curtailed — and she worked for the city, so, probably not so much.
I’m not Noelq but I can offer one… he contracted cancer.
46-1 is going to give him the Presidential Medal of Freedom
He donated/raised millions for charity including for cancer so give him that at least maybe you think he was a net negative for humanity but he did try to do some good, his philanthropy is on his Wikipedia page if you dispute it. Maybe even on the eve of his death he will donate even more towards charitable goals.
