Rush, to Judgment

Oct. 20 —  If you listen hard, you can hear the booming voice: Look, the Clinton liberals and feminazis won’t tell you, but here’s the problem with this big talk-show host who turns out to be a prescription-drug junkie. You have a guy who finally stops spinning and fesses up for his actions. Fine. He says he won’t play the victim. Good. He’s off to rehab. God bless. But what he and his apologists want you to forget is that he broke the law—yes, the L-A-W. Some of us around here still have respect for it.

FOLKS, THIS GUY didn’t just use drugs, he put another person in harm’s way to feed his own habit. He repeatedly sent his maid out into a parking lot to score for him. Thousands of pills. Talk about cowardly. The housekeeper was being set up by her big celebrity boss to take the fall if they got busted. Now, that’s the problem with these famous people who develop the wrong ’60s values. The little person—the kind of average American who listens to this program—takes the risks, while the celebrity gets the slobbering praise for overcoming his “problems.” That’s the world these liberals have brought you. Unforgivable.

Perhaps you can do a better Limbaugh imitation. But you have to admit that if the shoe were on the other foot, he would be banging it on his microphone. So why have almost all of his conservative talk-show friends rushed to Rush’s defense? Why will he, undoubtedly, get a long standing ovation at his first public appearance after he returns from rehab? Why will both conservatives and liberals show him the compassion he routinely denies to other people?

Florida law proscribes the illegal purchase of prescription drugs (indeed, Pigboy was purchasing them illegally or he wouldn't have had his housecleaner rendezvous in clandestine parking lot brown bag transactions). The penalty for such a crime is up to a five year prison term.

Pigboy has always loudly trumpeted how much the law must be obeyed and criminals put away.

How many of you think that, if he's prosecuted at all, he'll do a day in jail?

How many of you know what would have happened had Pigboy been darkskinned and/or poor?

I do hope he gets well and does have a change of heart
and mind while going through the process, but he
did break the law and if he wants to be the role
model he holds himself to be, he has to serve the time.

and not only will that rich white man NOT see jail, he will return to his job of lying to the American people without a BIT of humility. Try as I may, I simply cannot find it in my soul to feel compassion for this hypocritical piece of shit. I just can't.

of Newsweek there is a great indepth article about Limbaugh. http://www.msnbc.com/news/979355.asp?vts=101220030953
It almost -and I did say almost- makes you feel a little pity for him. It does explain alot about his behavior. He is a miserable man who seems unable to handle social situations and leads a very solitary life.

I am a recovering addict myself and have been clean for 11 yrs. I do not wish addiction on anyone. But the key to getting better is being humble and grateful and admitting your mistakes and your part in them. Thats part of the problem with these public figures that hold themselves up as moral icons. When they do have a problem they can't or won't get help because of their own refusal to allow others to have moral failings.

I hope he stays in for the full 30 days but even that will be a drop in the bucket compared to the time it actually takes to get better.
