1. So he didn't illegally buy pain killers on the black market?

NO hero, no shit, Rush. The deal is that by your standards you're a low class, pill sucking criminal. Who has absolutely lost forever his right to critcize others.

[WhoCountsTheVotes]

9. Rush would NEVER buy from the BLACK market

you know it's true

[Evil_Dewers]

2. He takes responsibility...

So I guess he'll be pleading guilty to acquiring drug kingpin-like quantities of synthetic heroin?

Rush, you made the argument that your taxes aren't high enough if you have hundreds of thousands or millions to waste on drugs.

3. Anyone willing to call Dr. Laura?

Anyone willing to call Dr. Laura and ask her about her opinion of Rush?

[otohara]

4. "broadcast excellence "

proof positive the man is fucked up

[Kamika]

5. i hate how he sounds so innocent

Hes spinning it all around so it looks like he admits his problem and takes full responsibility.. ofcourse implying hes better then Clinton.


And the sheep will ofcourse forget that Rush would have never admitted this if it had not come up.

[Old and In the Way]

8. Every narcotics addict, when caught, professes to be sorry and

takes "full responsibility"...whatever that means.

No, I'm sure Rush would not be a hypocrite about this because he's been caught copping illegal narcotics. I'm sure he'll demand equal treatment and penalty under the law. I'm sure he'll plead guilty and hope that he is incarcerated like everyone else that he has demanded serve time for their drug crimes.

Right Rush?

14. The last refuge of hypocrites

The Chinese have an expression for this sort of person who piously confesses after having been caught at doing something bad and being outed as a hypocrite ; "slapping one's own face." It's a way of trying to avoid the censure and judgement of others.

They worship a God who punishes you, but which forgives them. Go figure.

6. Love this line

"The show will continue during this time, of course, with an array of guest hosts you have come to know and respect."

Respect is asking a bit much...but if you want me to pray for you I'd be happy to. I'm praying that this teaches you a little bit of humility, you bloated fat racist pig. My sympathy goes out to whoever feels sympathy for you.

7. coming soon to a bumper near you

[dfong63]

10. credit where credit is due

that was a masterful piece of public relations, especially considering the dude has a huge monkey on his back.

[Walt Starr]

11. Does anybody get the feeling the race-flap was planned?

Gave him a reason to resign from ESPN before the drug charges made the light of day.

[seoigh]

13. yup

And on the Friday afterwards, Rush answered callers with questions like, "what about the allegations, Rush?" with answers about McNabb. Frankly, HE made a bigger deal out of the McNabb stuff than anyone else did.

[seoigh]

12. hmmm...

Plays a lot of golf for someone with 2 herniated disks. I don't buy it.

15. His housekeeper has been given immunity to testify against him

Read the Enquirer! There are emails, and she describes the manner in which the so-called "prescription" medication was acquired. I don't know about you guys, but my doctor never sends drugs (1000 oxycontin at a time)in a cigar box for my housekeeper to deliver to me at a gas station. I think you have to have a different kind of connection to get this kind of deal.

The guy ought to be eating prison food for a few years just for being a bad example to servant class if nothing else.

Tommy Chong has been sentenced to 8 months in jail for selling bongs. Rush deserves equal treatment under the law. He's the one who's always screaming about preferential treatment. I say we give him the same treatment that any poor black man would receive in America for a similar offense.

16. A Transcript is Good! Just so everyone sees who he BLAMES!

I'm giving this a good kick...because so many DU'ers are willing to let his Drug Addiction slide...and have so much total sympathy for this Wealthy Man who could pay an "Enabler" and bypass every channel to supply his habit....while the rest of America has to go through their "Family Doctor" (who would never write prescriptions for all this....and those of us who have undergone surgery and had our Surgeons tell us: "Oh, we can't give you pain medication because the Goernment is too worried about you getting "hooked." You will just have to lie there and suffer....because we "can't be responsible" if you dicide you need more meds." I had surgery recently....and this is what they told ME....who has never been an addict of anything!

But, Limpballs gets to "Deal in Denny's Parking Lot" for THOUSANDS OF PILLS?" Just because the Conservatives Love him and he has MEGA MILLIONS?? I don't think I have sympathy for this man.......no...
