At the beginning of this week, conservative talk radio legend Rush Limbaugh announced that he’s been diagnosed with advanced lung cancer and that he’d be taking time off for treatment when necessary.
Limbaugh was off the air from Tuesday through Thursday, but he did attend the State of the Union speech where he was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Today, Rush was back behind the golden EIB microphone:
The EIB staff is overjoyed that our boss is back in his seat. We have the greatest staff in the world. We are all devoted to Rush. I wish you had a chance to know all of our staff. They are incredibly wonderful people. As is our Rush. Today is a HAPPY day.

Among Rush’s comments was a brief explanation of how the State of the Union invite went down, and it involved a phone call from President Trump during a course of medical treatment. Here’s part of what Rush said in two tweets from @PolishPatriotTM:
Rush is back! And he is telling the story of how he got invited to the SOTU
