Rush Limbaugh, Oxycontin - research question
It is my understanding that Rush Limbaugh talked about Oxycontin for over an hour on his show on July 30, 2001.

I understand that he doesn't release transcripts. But are there recordings available?

Thanks

1. Rush slurred speech - on air...
One day a few years ago...maybe in the last 2 years...Rush was on the air and sounded very groggy...he words were very slurred as if he was drunk...He tried to explain this...(I forget how) I belive this was just before the hearing loss...I heard it...

Does anyone else remember this?

2. From USENET Archives...Rush on 1/11/00 - Slurred Speech...
Searching Google Groups...

Subject: rush on 1/11/00

Was anyone listening to Rush today? Was there something wrong with him? He went from topic to topic with no connection, took I believe only 2 phone calls, and appeared to be doing no more than ranting on unrelated subjects, often making little sense. And at times his words were somewhat slurred. I don't imply at all he was drinking (saying his words were slurred), but he didn't sound like his mind was really connecting right. Anybody else get the same impression there was something odd going on?

Subject: Rush Medicated? 1999/09/03

I missed the first hour, but heard the clips he repeated. I thought that at first something had happened to his transmission. Later in that same broadcast though, he became slurred and slow in his speech. I am convinced now that he was under the influence of something, perhaps alcohol. He has stated that at one time, he was a heavy drinker. Not only was there the slowness, and slurring, but a detectable difference in his reasoning. Perhaps Rush has begun drinking again, I mean something other than the diet peach Snapple iced tea.

Re: Rush Sounds Like He Is On OXYCONTIN!

Is Limbaugh taking 200MG of Oxycontin everyday or just every other day?

3. Just where is Larry Flynt?
Didn't he offer large sums of money for dirt on Republicans? Obviously - since the maid is turning herself in as a narcotic trafficer...she must have a deal...
