On the bright side... Rush Limbaugh's grave is now a gender neutral bathroom.

A man who died a slow and excruciating death of lung cancer after spending most of his career denying that smoking caused cancer.

Good riddance.

I remember vomiting a bit when this happened.

Fuckers idolizing talking e.coli while demonizing the Mr. Rogers of Medicine, Dr. Fauci (who incidentally earned the Medal of Freedom in 2008).

Holy shit you guys the picture is real

I guess for him, it wasn't much better than a Medal of Honor.

Rush Limbaugh. He was basically the previous Alex Jones.

Conservative pundit and overall trash human being who generally raged against anything good or remotely progressive. Hypocritical angry fat white man. You can add him to the list of why Republicans are so far right, so antiscience, and conspiracy theorists. He even argued about cigars being good for you. He was a smoker and he died a few months after this pic due to stage 4 lung cancer.

"I don't wish death on anyone, but I have read some obituaries with great pleasure."

Just like Reagan his grave should be used as a gender neutral bathroom.

He was the biggest anti-Obama asshole I had the displeasure of hearing on the radio while working in plumbing at 19. When he died I was at my father in laws house and started laughing. It was a knee jerk reaction, they didn't like that too much.

[–] Dorkyd68@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Ah, I remember him pretty well actually. Guess I forgot what the fool looked like .

A rare occasion when lung cancer is the hero of the story.

Wtf? There's plenty of shit to hate this guy for besides his choice of vices. That's stupid as fuck.

[–] DrSleepless@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

He did a whole rant on Kurt Cobain being a junkie and therefore. not worthy of respect. That’s what the fuck.

That's me when I hit 9th prestige in mw2

[–] xwolpertinger@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

I still remember him every time I use my falafel in the shower

[–] JimmyBigSausage@lemm.ee 2 points 2 months ago

Hubbah hubbah hubbah 💨

I had to go to comments for the name. I recall disliking him intensely at one point. There he is, dead and gone. Here I am, moving on.
