In the pit since I do make an exception of being glad when someone dies when the one dying caused others do die by misinformation and/or continued to mislead others even after the deadly January 6 insurrection. Stated by Rush on February 24, 2020 in an episode of his radio show: [“The coronavirus is the common cold, folks.”](https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2020/feb/27/rush-limbaugh/fact-checking-rush-limbaughs-misleading-claim-new-/) Stated by Rush on January 20, 2021 in a radio show segment: [Says Joe Biden and Democrats “have not legitimately won” the presidency.](https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2021/jan/21/rush-limbaugh/inauguration-day-rush-limbaugh-falsely-claims-joe-/) Another reason why I’m glad is that I get 30 points the dead pools too… Farewell, [You’re Dead To Us Now.](https://www.yousaidit.co.uk/product/youre-dead-to-us-now/) ---

I have no reservation about expressing my schadenfreude in his shuffle off this mortal coil, and look forward to news that fellow conservative conspiranoists Glenn Beck and Alex Jones have joined him. These people were/are enablers of bigotry and authoritarianism, and everyone, including their hypothetical loved ones, are better off without them. Stranger ---

Rush, the best thing about you was that you were made of recyclable materials. I salute the worms and bacteria in their future meal. ---

That coronavirus one is kind of strange to think about; less than a year later, Limbaugh is gone and COVID is unfortunately still with us. ---

Jonathon Brandmeier used to play this during his radio show. I’m glad we can all enjoy it one more time. [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/s4DMpgbabKE/hqdefault.jpg "Rush Limbaugh - I'm A Nazi Video") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s4DMpgbabKE) ---

It’s pretty horrible news about Rush. I still can’t believe that their drummer, Neil Peart, is dead. ---

This roast can’t miss the old joke told about him: What’s the difference between the Hindenburg and Rush? One was a flaming Nazi gasbag disaster. The other was a dirigible. ---

Is this a good day to again state that I hate the reminders that it is somehow better to not celebrate someone’s death? The world is a demonstrably better place without Rush in it. I reject that celebrating that is somehow inappropriate or that rejecting such celebration makes one high minded. ---

The world is a demonstrably better place without Rush in it. I reject that celebrating that is somehow inappropriate or that rejecting such celebration makes one high minded. My thoughts exactly. I’ll be having a glass of Scotch today to celebrate, and a whole bottle when ol’ Donnie finally croaks. But alas, the damage they’ve wrought has already been done, and I don’t see America being able to recover from it, which tempers my ebullience. ---
