Talk radio king Rush Limbaugh stunned his 27-million member audience Monday with the announcement he's been diagnosed with "advanced lung cancer." The 69-year-old conservative talk pioneer closed his broadcast with the grim news, saying he will be leaving his golden EIB microphone for treatment, but hopes to return soon.

“This day has been one of the most difficult days in recent memory, for me, because I’ve known this moment was coming,” Limbaugh said. “I’m sure that you all know by now that I really don’t like talking about myself and I don’t like making things about me… one thing that I know, that has happened over the 31-plus years of this program is that there has been an incredible bond that had developed between all of you and me.”

Stunning and very sad news. Rush changed the direction of talk radio and the Conservative movement.

Believe it or not, I heard Rush's first show many a year ago when he first went national. I was much impressed and was soon promoting him to other Conservatives in my area (East Texas at that time). "Ya just gotta listen to this guy. He's really unique."

I wish Rush the very best.
