Rush Limbaugh, A Look Back At The Man Who Became The Voice Of Conservatism

Rush Limbaugh, a monumental force for conservatism and a talk radio legend who reigned over the airwaves for more than three decades, died Wednesday from lung cancer. He was 70 years old.

Limbaugh’s wife Kathryn made the sad announcement Wednesday morning on Limbaugh’s syndicated radio show, reaching out to the radio host’s millions of fans in a statement. “Losing a loved one is terribly difficult,” she said, “even more so when that loved one is larger than life. Rush will forever be the greatest of all time.”
