Every century or so, the world is blessed with a true Renaissance Man. That is, someone who is a true original, someone who invents a new way of doing things, someone is the among the best in the world at two, maybe three things.
Leonardo Da Vinci was certainly one.
Benjamin Franklin
Thomas Edison
In the 21st century, the world and country have been blessed with two; Donald J. Trump, and Rush Limbaugh.
Rush Limbaugh was the best in the world in at least five areas:
And finally, Rush was most riveting personality in media by far. He is the ONLY one anyone has ever known who can hold an audience spellbound for three hours on radio. Rush was so interesting and spontaneous and funny that you hated when he had guests, and you hated commercial interruption. He was an original. Imagine someone who can take the mic in the least popular most mundane time slot 12-3 weekdays. On the radio, no less. And make it a must-hear event. That was Rush. He is SO missed. He would be SO pleased at the cataclysmic event he helped bring about. Without Rush, we wouldn’t have Trump. Without Trump, we wouldn’t have had three GREAT conservative justices, and without them, we wouldn’t have Roe v Wade going down.
Here’s to a GREAT GREAT Renaissance Man.

In the 21st century, the world and country have been blessed with two; Donald J. Trump, and Rush Limbaugh.
Rush Limbaugh was the best in the world in at least five areas:
- He was the top journalist in the world. Ever. By every measure: audience size, longevity, influence, compensation and originality. Nobody even approaches Limbaugh. Not Cronkite. Not Murrow. Not even close.
- He was the top historian of all time. Rush had a superior intellect and memory. He was uniquely skilled in evaluating events and their relevance to the current situation. He presented history three hours a day for 30 years.
- Rush was the most influential political entity in history. No conservative politician made a move without clearing it with Rush, not even the great Donald Trump. No conservative politician ever crossed Rush without paying a severe political price. Rush also had the ability to marginalize leftwing politicians by ridiculing them. He singularly made Elizabeth Warren a laughingstock, coining the moniker “Pocahontas”. He made Bill Clinton into a simple cheating lecherous buffoon. He made 0bama into an incompetent empty-suit Communist. He made Reagan into a revered icon. His word alone made or broke people.
- Rush was a political prognosticator nonpareil. He saw the potential in Donald Trump long before anyone else did. He forecast numerous events. In fact, in September 2020, Rush predicted the very event we are celebrating today, the overturning of Roe v Wade:
