Kicking Rush
Edited on Tue Oct-14-03 10:52 AM by Snellius


October 14, 2003 -- DON Imus showed Rush Limbaugh no mercy yesterday, even though Imus himself was off the air several times during the 1970s and '80s because of cocaine and alcohol addiction.

"Rush is a fat, pill-popping loser and an undisciplined slob who was turning his maid into a drug pusher, and she's the one who's gonna go to prison, and - as soon as he gets caught - he starts whining," Imus ranted yesterday on his WFAN wake-up show.

"He's going to rehab because he can't get any more pills and he's gonna go to prison," Imus said.
...
Suck it up, fatso, and stop taking 100 pills a day or whatever . . . and employ some discipline in your life," Imus said, while offering Limbaugh some recovery advice.

4. I like that
Mind if I use it?

THough I must admit I got no problem kicking Rush. U've been through addiction myself, and I am disgusted the way he, as he always has, blames everyone except himself. Of course, that may change after treatment, but I expect he is looking for a magic bullet and thinking it can get done in 28 days. Ha! Its a lifelong battle fatman - you thought dieting was hard?

10. I think the "pills" took his mind off "dieting"...could be wrong
but somebody correct me if I am.

18. I think the pills were to
deafen his ears to his conscience. There has to be some psychic pain in lying and damaging others. I think he tried to medicate it away... that nagging feeling that something is wrong...

just a guess.

23. He's been through 2 tries at rehab already....doubt one more will help....
....him admit he it's even HIS fault....so he'll most likely die a miserable death...wish it would be behind bars too but doubt that'll ever happen...and as sorry as it sounds...I have :nopity: for him as he has NONE for anyone else who's been in the same boat.:(

24. Not even losing his career was enough to make him stop????
There was a pro basketball player who was confronted with having to end his career in order to give one of his relatives one of his kidneys. It was determined that a transplant wouldn't help and the relative died--HIM I felt sorry for. And as much I hated Rush, I felt sorry for him when he lost his hearing, but only because it was allegedly due to an auto-immune disease. Now that I know the truth--that it was most likely caused by drug abuse WHICH HE CONTINUED WITH even AFTER his career was saved--he gets zippo from me!

5. Sure...Now they want us
"Sean Hannity, the Fox News Channel personality whose own syndicated radio show follows Limbaugh's on WABC, said he wishes Limbaugh a speedy recovery - but he warned it won't be easy.

"I know the Rush critics out there - the 'those who want to see any conservative fall on their face' crowd - will probably meet the news with glee and joy and happiness," Hannity told his radio listeners.

"The real liberal compassion will show its true colors here," he said."

Oh please...After years of hateful attacks on our "bleeding hearts" they want us to show compassion. :nopity:

6. the REAL LIBERAL COMPASSION???
Where the hell does he get off with this one?

Rush, being the shining beacon of compassionate conservatism. For the love of all that is holy, someone make Hannity, in the words of O'Reilly, "just shut up".

Please.

21. Hannutty 'admires' Rush
Hannuttty said on his radio show that he is a friend (didn't know the guy was whacked for 6 years though) and he admires TheCyst. What is he on that he would admire someone who attacked a 13 year old girl , I am reffering to Cysts attacks on Chelsea .Does Hanutty endorse or admire attacking children?
I listen because the callers, totalley lost housewives, are hilarious.
It is great though that these losers are confined to A.M. radio and everytime they raise their heads to the general public (espn) they are slapped down.
One other thing, Hanutty has no manners. He will cough right into the mike.He never has the manners to say excuse me, didn't Cyst have no social skills either?

8. The question
isn't how much compassion he gets from liberals, since he certainly hasn't earned any, but how much compassion he gets from the system he's long been complaining about being too soft on criminals and drug users.

Should he get a pass on prison, will he rail against the softness of the system?

The issue isn't what liberals think - the issue is whether accepts the same compassion from the system he has railed against for years.

As usual, Hannity obscures the issue by complaining about his ideological foes' rhetoric. Limbaugh put himself in this position - not us.

12. I'd like to get the above picture made into a mask
it would make the perfect Halloween costume. All I would need is a shirt and some black pants and some sugar pills . . .

What's more frightening than Rush Limbaugh on drugs? :D

25. I'll send you a bucket to carry those pills..
great costume idea.

I knew someone in 1991 (?) went to a Halloween party in black face and his black graduation robe with a "pubic hair" glued to the top of a Coke can (ala Justice C.T.)

You'll lose 75 percent of your audience, leaving only your brother and your wife.
