@FLCaseyDeSantis and I are saddened to learn of the passing of fellow Floridian and our friend, Rush Limbaugh.
Limbaugh, the talk radio host who became the voice of American conservatism, has died.
Al Franken, the comedian and one-time senator, came out with a book in 1996 called โRush Limbaugh Is a Big Fat Idiot and Other Observations.โIn 2003, Limbaugh admitted an addiction to painkillers and went into rehab.
His mother was the former Mildred Armstrong, and his father, Rush Limbaugh Jr., was a lawyer.
Limbaugh dropped out of Southeast Missouri State University for a string of DJ gigs, from his hometown, to McKeesport, Pennsylvania, to Pittsburgh and then Kansas City.
