In a recent interview, the widow of the late Rush Limbaugh told listeners that the conservative host made one last dig at his critics before his passing in February 2021.
Kathryn Adams Limbaugh, Rush’s widow, joined conservative media mogul Glenn Beck recently and discussed some of the late radio host’s final requests. Beck, himself host of a top-rated talk show, asked her to confirm rumors that her late husband wanted the phrase “Radio’s Greatest of All Time” placed on the certificate.
After chuckling at the question, Kathryn responded: “Yes. We have to be on brand at all times. … Another thing that we wanted to do and a way to tweak the media as a final goodbye from Rush, which we know he certainly would have loved.”
Kathryn Limbaugh joined Beck to promote a book on Rush’s life, which she had co-authored, “Radio’s Greatest of All Time.” The two met in 2004 at a charity golf tournament and reconnected later that year after Rush’s divorce from his wife Marta Fitzgerald.
They were married in 2010, and singer Elton John performed at their wedding, another topic Beck asked about. Kathryn told the host that the famed entertainer and Rush were alike.
“This may be breaking news, but I believe that Sir Elton John and Rush are actually very, very similar. They had quite a similar demeanor off of their performance personality. I believe that they both were so hard-working, they both were at the top of their game, so to speak, they both loved their audience. … So in many respects, they were very similar,” she said.
Rush’s widow previously spoke about what he would think about the state of the country under Joe Biden and Democrats controlling Congress.
“He would be upset with the United States not being as strong as it has been and should be. I know he would say it’s not time to panic,” she said in a February interview with Fox News, on the first anniversary of Rush’s death from lung cancer.
“It’s never time to panic,” Kathryn felt Rush would say. “Folks, it’s never, ever going to be time to give up on our country. It’ll never be time to give up on the United States. It’ll never be time to give up on yourself.”
His brother David, a writer and attorney, also wrote a statement on the anniversary of his brother’s passing.
“I have no right to speak for Rush but I’m going to speak for him anyway to the extent of expressing my immense appreciation and awe at his fan’s (your) profound love for him,” David Limbaugh tweeted at the time. “Thank you. I knew he was loved, but wow, it is even beyond what I thought. So grateful.”
