Rush Limbaugh says his lung cancer is terminal

[Crumpets]

Since my last post in this thread got deleted, I'll repost the gist of it hopefully with a bit more taste. Limbaugh is well-known for demeaning someone who is themself suffering from a terminal illness, belittling his suffering, and suggesting he was just doing it for political gain and/or money. When they go low, we go high, yes. But in this case, I'm fine with "high" being, like, maybe six inches higher than "low." Respect is always earned, basic human decency is not. I hope we have the decency not to gloat over his condition, but I do not and will not respect him unless he wants to spend the rest of his life making up for the pain he has inflicted on others and maybe showing he understands that he used his position of power and privilege to denigrate people who are less well off and empower the worst aspects of human behavior, exactly the same bad behavior that we now have to put aside out of deference to him.
