But I hope also that millions of liberals will share the same sentiment, both out of compassion as well as respect for free speech, even though they may disagree with his views. Limbaugh may well be one of the most politically despised figures in the eyes of the Left in an increasingly polarized America, but his opponents should acknowledge that he plays an important role in...

Because of the curtain situation with Rush's health I thought we could all ruminate on how he has affected our lives. I was always conservative, however I felt that I was in a tiny minority and kept my political views to myself. The main stream media had convinced me that I was in the minority. The day after Clinton was elected, I was in the car searching for news about the election and found Rush. I became hooked from that day forward.

The piece was entitled, "Rush Limbaugh's Remarkable Consistency," and was by far the reader's favorite of 2009. As well, we should've known that he would win the day. He always does. Below is an excerpt: Staying consistent in politics takes the constitution of a rhinoceros.

This was true, yet it probably did not represent the entire truth. The truth, his father Irvin says, was that Brett had developed an addiction to the drug Vicodin, a narcotic analgesic. But the truth also included the notion, the elder Favre acknowledges, that a problem with alcohol abuse could exist.
