Omg, Kit Carson died....!!!
:(
Oh no!
A very emotional Rush is talking about his friend and chief of staff Kit Carson, who passed away after a four-year battle with brain cancer.
Had no idea he was sick. I was on the show in 2006 and Carson called me-—Tom Sullivan was guest hosting-—and I’ll never forget Carson said “Now let’s get those Amazon numbers up.”
R.I.P. Carson.
Nickname “H. R.” came from former Nixon White House Chief of Staff H. R. Haldeman.
Occasionally served as call screener for the Rush Limbaugh radio program on days when official caller “Bo Snerdley” is on vacation.
He did? Prayers to his family.

Kit Carson was Rush Limbaugh’s Chief of Staff, so Rush dubbed him “H R” - as in H R Haldeman, who fulfilled the same role for Richard Nixon. The dramatis personae of the Nixon White House aren’t quite as reflexively familiar to an unassimilated foreign guest-host such as myself, and it took me awhile to get on top of it: on one early show, I referred to him as “R F”, which bemused him. “Where did that come from?” he asked. After thinking about it, I figured I must have confused H R with R F, the studio boss of “Monumental Pictures” in Singin’ In The Rain.
