1. Hey do me a favor, willya?
I can't get on to the boards over there but if you could, ask someone who knows java to program a pac-man style game where Rush gobbles up as many vicadin before he's caught by any of 4 law-enforcement officers.

Instead of 3 chances he only gets 1 under Ashcroft's laws, so he's got to get as many as he can before he's thrown in the slammer.

Better yet, the high score could be based on how money much he spends taking the stuff.

That will make the freeps over there have a coronary.

:)

2. I posted two messages
the first debunking someone who said that 9*11 caused the war in Iraq. I had to point out he was disagreeing both with W and Condesleeza who have now stated publically there is no connection.

I also stated that although rush is a hypocrite of the highest order, I wouldn't delight in anyone suffering with drug addiction. Hopefully the suffering will make him a better person.

4. Oh yeah? Well I would.
Rush has been doing that very thing to so many of the downtrodden that he's made a fortune from it. Its a very cruel thing to do and he won't learn anything from what he's done to others unless he's gone through the same sort of punishment.

What's sad is that when this is all over he will still be much better off than most people who have suffered with addictions-the same ones he had been pointing the finger at.

3. thanks!
anybody remember when he did this.....from your link:

Or maybe as much humor as Rush found with Kitty Dukakis' alcoholism when he mimicked her gurgling and belching on his show

for those who are feeling guily over schadenfreude

5. Don't forget how he called Chelsea Clinton the "White House dog."
And that was when she was still a young girl, and NO DOUBT sensitive about her looks the way all teenage girls are.

And let's not forget his lovely skewering of Janet Reno - calling her "Shake and Bake" - when her Parkinson's Disease affliction became news.

Bastard. He is simply despicable. Beneath contempt. It is DAMNED HARD to find any sympathy in my heart for him. Frankly, the only thing that makes me even consider showing sympathy is the point made around DU by various posts referring to knowing or being a recovering addict. But I tell ya, it's bloomin' HARD!!! He certainly doesn't deserve any.

7. Criminal?
Isn't it against some law to buy illegal prescription drugs?
How is Rush getting by without having to go to jail. Just last
week(in my area), the police arrested a young man because he had prescription
pills not in original container. Why is Rush exempt?

8. too lazy to look further, but........
check this

"According to the most recent FBI Uniform Crime Report, law enforcement annually arrests an estimated 723,627 persons for marijuana violations. Nearly 90 percent of those arrests are for marijuana possession only, an offense most states treat as a misdemeanor and not a felony."

from this year
