On Monday, America’s top-rated talk radio host Rush Limbaugh stunned the nation by announcing that he was recently diagnosed with advanced lung cancer, describing the day as “one of the most difficult” in recent memory for him because he had to inform both his staff and his faithful audience about the dire diagnosis. Despite having to deliver the hard news, Limbaugh didn’t let what he is facing get in the way of what he called “the source of my greatest satisfaction professionally, personally”: performing his duties as a beloved conservative host as “competently and as expertly” as he does “each and every day.”
While he dedicated one segment Monday to the announcement, for the rest of the show Rush addressed less personal and heavy topics, including what he said was one of his “favorite stories of the weekend.” The story, written by Politico chief Washington correspondent and CNN senior political analyst Ryan Lizza, addresses a quality among Donald Trump supporters — and conservatives in general — that Limbaugh has touched on in the past: “joy.”
