You've kept her and rush in your thoughts and prayers.

Ladies and gentlemen, Catherine Limbaugh.

Hello everyone.

I know that I am most certainly not the limbaugh that you tuned in to listen to today.

I like you very much, Wish.

Rush was behind this golden microphone right now.

Welcome you to another exceptional three hours of broadcasting.

Rush Limbaugh has died.

He was huge.

Nicole Hemmer writes about conservative media.

He transformed the world of political media by introducing this kind of political entertainment

that would become the model for not just conservative talk radio,

but for places like Fox News.

She wrote a book called Messengers of the Right, conservative media and the transformation of American politics.

But he also fundamentally transformed the conservative movement and the Republican party.

He becomes a kind of kingmaker on the right.

And he introduces the set of incentives to Republican politics that you need to be a little outrageous,

that you need to be hard-lined, that you need to show fealty to this conservative media

in order to attract all of those voters who listen to Rush Limbaugh show.

And the transformations we've seen in the GOP over the past 30 years are at least in part a product of the limbaugh show.

Ms. Fluk, and arrest you feminazies.

Here's the deal.
