    Man this is sad. I know this would be of interest to people with so much debate between Republicans and Democrats, and even though he is controversial and I disagree with a lot of what he says, I respect how much he has accomplished. This is likely the end of his career and that is ashame.

    <b>Listeners to Rush Limbaugh’s talk show on Monday heard the conservative commentator announce that he’s suffering from severe hearing loss and expects to go totally deaf. In a transcript of the comments made available on the show’s Web site, Limbaugh says he’s totally deaf in his left ear and can recognize sound with the other ear, but can’t identify it.</b>

    <i>LIMBAUGH SAID DOCTORS have not been able to either stabilize his hearing or restore it. He noted that the problems began on May 29 and have rapidly deteriorated.
    Limbaugh said he expects within a couple of months he’ll be totally deaf, raising questions how he’ll continue his popular program.
    Limbaugh recently renewed his contract with the Premiere Radio Networks through 2009, reportedly for the highest price ever in radio syndication. Through his call-in show and a 90-second radio commentary, he reaches some 20 million listeners on nearly 600 stations.</i>

    Whether you like him or don't like him, pray for him and his family.

    Read it on Drudge and could not believe it. What I found even more amazing is that he was still able to take calls on his program today.

    I did notice a slight change in his voice.

    OMG. The Rush? I used to listen to him every day during the election. I can't believe this. I can't believe this. It's almost like a death, considering he is a radio talk-show personality. That is so sad. Unless a complete miracle happens, conservatives will lose one damn funny guy.

    :( :( :( :( :( :( :(
