Good fucking riddance!
Sound like exactly like what this person is doing, whoever they are.
My brother was into him back in the day (he still has shit taste) and another sibling and I found a clip of him telling fox news he makes things up and does it all for the money. Brother didn’t care and just kept listening to the guy
I didn’t even know (or care) that he was dead.
While he was replaced, and he’ll continue to be replaced, I still found this to be somewhat uplifting.
Now I’ll go back to forgetting that shit stain ever lived.
I’m surprised no one has brought this up yet but how wealthy was rush when he died?
Allegedly $600 mil.
Hope it was worth it. The world was objectively a better place when he died. I wonder if he thought about all the hate he spread while he lay dying.
I remember him pretty often unfortunately
Some bells ring in my head whenever I remember that he’s dead
I’d say his replacement is Alex Jones, and his replacement is Joe Rogan. It’s just a series of ignorant men with microphones and an even more ignorant audience.
His grave is a famous rest stop for some.

He was a shit stain - terribly annoying while you have one and not missed at all once it fucking rots away with cancer.
Didn’t Rush die of cancer? A rare cancer W!
This misunderstands the motivations of real-life evil people.
Once you accept there is no afterlife, that your legacy means nothing, and that you’re a piece of shit who has no desire to contribute to society or help others - only your personal success and self-pleasure while living matter.
Tarquin says it best here: https://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0763.html
By Rush’s personal measure, he absolutely won. So did Kissinger. So did Reagan. Trump and Jones and Rogan are on track.
You don’t beat such people with legacy.
I’m an atheist, however my personal information of the afterlife is how people remember you. That way you’re judged by your peers (all of humanity).
So arguably being famous is a very good deal, as many more people will remember you. However if you’re a shitty bastard, like Limbaugh, you’ll be remembered as a greedy count for quite some time before forgetfulness sets in.
Deservedly so imho
You can either make somthing for younger generations. Or burn what’s been built for your own pleasure.
Boomers made thier choice
Boomer defines a very large group of diverse people that were born in the US between certain years. Stop using it as a anthropomorphic term.
Even if you cared about legacy, realistically, how many people are remembered for more than a few generations, if they are remembered at all?
Even the majority of the leaders of nations are only remembered by historians, people with a high interest in history and briefly by some students studying for their next test, and these will be mainly the leaders of their own country. Unless they did something exceptional good or bad.
And then there are a few exceptional high achieving writers, inventors, scientists and academics. Even within their field most become irrelevant and forgotten after a few decades.
Some ordinary people who did extraordinary things might also be remembered.
But if you compare that to the enormous amount of people who have lived and died, basically no one will be remembered after their death. I’m not making excuses for the bad behaviors of horrible people, I’m just saying that losing all relevance and not being remembered after death isn’t special.
I don’t think that most of the people we might consider evil have that level of self-awareness. Certainly those with a pathological lack of empathy are overrepresented in the highest echelons of power. It doesn’t logically follow that they see themselves as bad.
Tarquin ! What a beautiful reference. Sadly still as pertinent as ever.
Here’s the comic. Thanks, it was a good read.
Dana Gould: Hey guys, I was just not remembering Rush and not remembering how influential he was and not remembering how much I hated him.
Everyone: Yeah, I don’t even remember that he made millions of dollars and I’m not even remembering the exact cemetery that he was buried in. Yay, I’m glad we’re all not remembering this.
Thats mostly because he lost his popularity when Internet poscasts started taking over, now we have a new generation of asshole podcasters like Ben Shapiro and Matt Walsh
And I wouldn’t know who they are but for the memes ridiculing them. LOL
Ben Shapiro? Isn’t that the guy who can’t get his Doctor Wife wet?
All I remember is that piece of shit Rush Limbaugh is buried at Bellefontaine Cemetery Saint Louis, St. Louis City, Missouri, USA.
Very useful information to know.
Ugh another reason for why Missouri is the worst state
It is so much worse than that- https://www.senate.mo.gov/22info/BTS_Web/Bill.aspx?SessionType=R&BillID=76860687
Oh I know it’s terrible for so many reasons…for example with if I happened to have the misfortune of living in Missouri and was married with a pregnant wife, she can’t divorce me no matter how abusive I am, both emotionally and physically…Now I can’t honestly come up with a situation that would warrant forcing anyone to remain in a toxic relationship but my gut tells me living in Missouri is about the dumbest fucking reason to have abuse forced on an individual.
But with one of the finest toilets in the world!
But why would you want to remember he even existed?
It’s good to know where you have a bathroom.
For a long time, I hated him. Then for a brief moment, I thought he was hilarious because I figured it had to be satire with how over the top it was. Then went right back to hating him when I found out it wasn’t satire at all.
I still don’t really understand his guest roles on family guy. He had to have known he was the joke, but still did it anyway.
Easy: he didn’t actually believe in anything other than the next paycheque.
