Limbaugh made the effort several years ago, on his own to kick the habit, unsucessfuly (which is not surprising..most folks take several attempts) and with luck, will stay clean after this go round. He has been quite open about it since it was made public, and has been quite effective recently, given the numbers of callers to his show, in getting other closet addicts to seek treatment. I would expect you to call Betty Ford, Lisa Minellie, etc etc loud fat assed hypocrits also, right? I fail to recall you saying similar about Bill Clinton, who's convicted drug dealer brother Roger, has said was nicknamed Hoover for Bills ability to snort up lines of coke. Ever wonder why he is the only president in recent history to have not released his medical records? Perhaps the blown out and repaired septum from over usage of coke might spoil the image? You really are a hater arnt you? Typical Liberal. Biased, divisive, bigoted, and ignorant. But you Feel...thats the most important thing. Right?

Did those 30 million people get rich partly by blabbering on the radio about how all drug abusers should be jailed? Four paragraphs of diversion..... I take it you're not going to admit that he's a hypocrite? I gotta' hand it to him, he makes a good living tapping into the frustrations of the ah... easily swayed, the sort who'll forgive their hero for just about anything while not missing a beat lashing out at everybody else. Nicely demonstrated by you in this thread BTW. Maybe if MJ had spent some time caterwauling about Hillary he'd have more supporters now. snorf In a just world Rush would volunteer for the sort of punishment he's so thoughtlessly advocated for others. But you'll notice that he has yet to admit violating any laws. That tells us that he's keeping his legal options open so that he can wiggle out of any potential charges. He'll get out of this after suffering lots of embarrassment, but that's hardly punishment since his life's work is an embarrassment anyway. And he shouldn't have much trouble convincing listeners that Clinton, not drugs, caused the hearing loss. Wayne |

The jails are semi full of drug offenders, but first offenders? No way, they do time on the second or third or fourth arrest, sometimes it takes more than that. And prescription drug abuse rates quite a bit lower that illegal drug abuse. JTMcC.

Fact of life. If so..we would have several million old men and ladies etc etc every year on the docket. I recall Limbaugh lambasting those whom were doing recreational pharmacuticals for fun, but if you can point out where he said anything about collateral addictions, please point it out.

In fact many people are addicted to something and don't even know it.
Had a coke today - oh the caffeine crave - headaches ? Really so many people take a regular dose of something every day that only when they run out or such do they find out. Many storage home drugs down the residents to stop or limit problems. How many are addicted to 'smokes'. My son had a fractured spine. It was years before it healed to the extent he didn't want or demand to have something - he and we took the brunt as the pain killer was limited in a dot dash mode through the week. He didn't come away with a permanent craving. Martin -- Martin Eastburn, Barbara Eastburn @ home at Lion's Lair with our computer NRA LOH, NRA Life NRA Second Amendment Task Force Charter Founder |
