Limbaugh high on the air?
Edited on Tue Oct-02-07 08:23 AM by PeterU
With all the talk surrounding Rush Limbaugh, and with his illegal use of Oxycotin now known, I wonder if there's any clips out there where Rush sounds especially, well, high while broadcasting?

Even if one takes the man at his word that he is now clean--which I personally doubt--given that he was using and abusing up to the point he got caught sending his maid on drug runs to Denny's, there just had to be instances where he was popping pills right before going on air, if not while on air. From all I've heard about Oxycotin, it is indeed that addictive a drug. (Which makes me doubt that a 30 day stint in rehab--which he never, ever talks about, unlike most recovering addicts who will go on at length about their former addiction--was indeed the cure-all for his problems.)

I guess this problem is, Rush created himself a "character"--a self-loving, all-knowing, pompous blowhard who proudly proclaims to his audience he and he only knows everything that is to be known--and it's difficult to determine where that persona begins and a powertripping drug fiend ends.

But if there are indeed any clips where the Oxycotin seems to be slipping into Rush's drug addled mind, I'd love to hear it.

1. I seem to remember that Bartcop had something like that
I'm not sure if he has the links or not.

6. Smart defense mechanism, if you think about it
Not to give too much credit to the scumbag, however.

3. I would say everything from about the time
that he first went on the air until the present. That doesn't help much though, does it?

Rush Limbaugh: giving drugs a bad name since 1984 (or earlier).™

4. well, since he is a very wealthy addict with connections, I would imagine..
any tape of him at least a couple months prior to his rehab stint.

5. Rush is still taking drugs. Oxycontin is too easy to get.
I'm sure his doctor is well paid and can keep him supplied. Let him eat all of them he wants.

7. Wouldn't it be nice if ---
they carried him off the air in a strait jacket. Where he go's absolute ballastic. Even more so than usual...IF and I say if he is on drugs on air, he won't be able to stay pull it off for ever.
