Speech of the Week

Rush Limbaugh

First EIB Radio Monologue Following Drug Addiction Treatment

delivered 17 November 2003

"All right, ladies and gentlemen, I must tell you: I'm nervous. I have butterflies in my stomach. I've been anticipating this moment since...last Wednesday afternoon."

"I spent five intense weeks, probably the most educational and informative five weeks on myself and about me that I ever have spent, and I would have had no idea how to do this myself."

"Now...I've thought back and forth how much of this to talk about, and I am just going to feel my way along on this...There are some things, though, I do want to tell you, and I think in the course of the coming days a number of the things that I have learned about myself and a number of the things that I want to share with you will just come out in the normal course of conversation and executing broadcast excellence flawlessly, as I am known for and still habitually capable of doing."

"I have to do what's best for me if I'm to succeed at this. I can no longer anticipate what I think people want and try to give that to them. I can no longer try to live my life by making other people happy. I can no longer turn over the power of my feelings to anybody else, which is what I have done a lot of my life...."

"Great to be back, folks, the EIB Network and El Rushbo back after this."
