"If you don't want people to speak ill of you when you die, then live decently," said one critic.

Longtime radio host, right-wing zealot, and enemy of the common good Rush Limbaugh died Wednesday after a battle with cancer. He was 70 years old.

"If you don't want people to speak ill of you when you die, then live decently," said writer and political observer Anand Giridharadas in response to the news that the "Bigoted King of Talk Radio" was dead.
