"There's nothing good about drug use," he was saying. "We know it. It destroys individuals. It destroys families. Drug use destroys societies. Drug use, some might say, is destroying this country. And we have laws against selling drugs, pushing drugs, using drugs, importing drugs. And the laws are good because we know what happens to people in societies and neighborhoods which become consumed by them. And so if people are violating the law by doing drugs, they ought to be accused and they ought to be convicted and they ought to be sent up."

...and one from today...

LIMBAUGH: 'I AM ADDICTED TO PRESCRIPTION PAIN MEDICATION'... 'WILL ENTER 30-DAY TREATMENT CENTER'... 'I TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR MY PROBLEM'... 'I WANT TO ASK FOR YOUR PRAYERS'...

drudge report

Hypocrisy is my pet peeve...and he wants my prayers?? Oh, I'm praying for him all right...

Oh, NO.......he's back

The epitome of hypocrisy is YOU, H20, posting this crap on a FISHING BB.

Why, why, why do you do it?

And why, why, why do you read it and then whine about it?

Usually, the people who speak the loudest have the most to hide.

somehow I knew who would be the first to make a big deal out of this one....like I have said before..predictable as rain...

You look the other direction one more time so you don't have to FACE THE BOLDFACED TRUTH...Rush has and always will be wrong, full of hate and vitriol when in front of a microphone and then expecting our compassion in his unfortunate time of need.


Thhhhhbbbbbffffttttt!!!

I laugh....a manly laugh, for manly men such as we (name the moveie, win a prize), at all those that try to minimize this and backpedal away from the blatancy of its truth....Hahaha, hahaha, ha, ha, ha....

I want you to listen!....I DID NOT HAVE SEXUAL RELATIONS WITH THAT WOMAN!!!

addiction to drugs of any kind is no joke..no matter who the addict is.

juvenile opportunistic rantings of a true moron.

These NFR posts do really bring out the worst in people.

Sometimes the view from within a house of glass is obscured by reflections and mirrored illusions.

H2O..I just noticed that your stupid post was made at 4:52pm which is about a half an hour after 4:20.....Do you have the nerve that Rush has to check yourself in to a clinic? And make it public? I doubt it.

Pity the man that gloats at anothers misfortune - whether self-induced, deserving or not. Compassion seems to be a lost art form for some people.

Nobody elected Rush to a public office.

He didn't lie under oath.

He is just a very successful radio man that has opened the eyes of millions of people.

Hopefully his addiction and treatment will continue to open our eyes to a growing medical problem.

Was the house keeper busted for distributing?

and what is your addiction? maybe that could be a new topic? what is your addiction,...I like vodka and saltwater

I am addicted to fishing, I ask for your prayers. Right after this, I'm going to spend 30 days in Hoodsport undergoing intense fishing aversion therapy. Please pray for me.

I must weigh in on this one. I find Rush to be entertaining but very rarely is he enlightening. I do not wish what he is about to go through on anyone. Near as I can tell, the withdrawl is as bad (if not worse) than heroin. Anxiety, sleeplessness, excrutiating bone pain. Does not sound like fun. I always do wonder however, whether it's someone like Clinton or Rush, how come they don't ask for our prayers and understanding until they get caught. How long would Rush have continued abusing painkillers if he had not been outed?

One final thought - Hypocrisy is not the exclusive property of the right. Hypocrisy is a very human trait that crosses all political borders. However, it is an interesting human trait to deride someone who is hypocritical. See Jimmy Swaggart, Jim Baker, Rush Limbaugh, Bill Clinton, Robert Byrd..... It's always fun to declare that the Emperor has no clothes.

Eddie...addiction most of the time makes the addict a liar...to everybody but especially him or herself. You also know that when you are on top someone is always trying to knock you off your pedastal..comes with the territory. It takes more guts to stay on top and take the heat than it does to cave in just for the peace and quiet.

You have to be a frim believer in Karma, what goes around comes around, no matter who you are. I have never liked rush myself, i just hope the penalties are the same for him that they would be for any average citizen like myself. I just get tired of rich popular people evading the law because of money and politics. The judicial system needs to become non-biased on race, financial status, political status, and popularity.

penalties for WHAT you dumbarse?

Uhhhhhhh.......

There is an investigation into HOW Rush obtained these drugs. If he obtained them through illegal means, then there will be a penalty.

So what were you saying?

Papaslap, you may want to think before hitting the reply button. If (note that I have said if)Limbaugh has been getting the pills without a perscription, it is a felony just as bad (in the eyes of the law) as heroin or crack cocaine.

what I am saying is that the drug dealer is normally the one that should be prosecuted not the user. It is ill eagle (old indian chief) to sell drugs . If he used illegal drugs, his sources are the ones that are looking at charges, he is looking at rehab.

I don't believe that he has been charged with anything yet by any of the authorities. The only ones charging him are those who spew hatred towards him and want him to go away.

He has 20,000,000 loyal fans that I am sure are wishing him well.

I now hit the reply button, proud that I have never snagged a fish

Papaslap, I understand your logic and I agree with you - the user should not be top priority for the authorities. The law however, takes a different view.

I hit the reply button - proud that I have never flossed. (Is that why my teeth are falling out?)
