the whores are praising limpballs for his "surprising admission"..WTF?

[ElsewheresDaughter]

he didn't admit shit! HE WAS FUCKING BUSTED by the police and the Enquire!!!he is a fucking JUNKIE and belongs in prison just like so many poor pot smokers :grr: :grr: :grr:...he should be charged with a third degree felony 5 years in prison...that's what florida law is......he would have NEVER admitted it had he not been caught...now they are painting this piece of crap hypocrit as some kind of hero :puke: ....after the pigboy spent YEARS denigrating and bashing drug users and demanding that they be "locked up for life" remember is empathy for Daryal Strawberry, Robert Downing Jr,<sarcasm>

[Junkdrawer]

1. I think Rush is trying to name his own punishment...

30 day rehabs are a joke. A judge would demand at least 90 days and would probably want six months of AA or NA attendance slips.

Rehab is supposed to be the entry into a new life of honesty. This, and his use of "program speak" to bolster his "liberals can't face the truth" hate speak today, make for an ominous start.

[LuminousX]

2. They have to...

They have to stand by their man. It is part of the loyalty oath.

If they abandoned him over this, that would be surprising.

The best thing we can do is to hope Rush heals, spiritually and physically. To be gleeful about catching another hypocrit in the GOP ranks denies the reality of a person trying to recover from an addiction.

Unfortunately, if we thought Rush was sanctimonious now, he'll be even worse if he kicks his habit.

[ElsewheresDaughter]

6. LuminousX blees your compassionate heart...but as for me...

i'm finding difficulty trying to muster up any sympathy for this sick blowhard hypocrit!....

sucks to be rush...hope his karma is gonna be dark and massively bad

[LuminousX]

7. Separate the Man from the Politics

Don't empathize with the blowhard, the hypocrit, or the arrogant schmuck, empathize and sympathize with the man who lost control of his life and pray/hope/wish that this process truly heals Rush and allows him to see the pain he has caused.

He has sown the seeds of hate and doesn't care about the bitter harvest we have to reap. If he is able to heal, then maybe he can begin to change what he was done.

I sincerely doubt he will be healed though. 30 days is great for a psychologically addictive substance, but for his habit he requires 90 days at the very least followed up by a AA/NA or some sort of program.

Anyone want to bet that the Church of Scientology is banging on his door as we speak?

[AlinPA]

25. The pig will never change.

He is climbing the walls now with the Oxycontin addiction. May he rot with pain, the bastard.

[w13rd0]

26. I have no sympathy for him...

...none whatsoever. Sorry, there are too many disadvantaged or downtrodden people, not to mention ordinary folk, for me to have enough room in my heart to feel sympathy for some wealthy hateful whiny republican f0ker who got his hand caught in the cookie jar and now wants us to feel all sorry for him. I hope his withdrawl is so severe...well, use your imagination or substitute suitably disturbing scenes of detox from a movie.

[MurrayDelph]

29. An observation I made back in High School

(which was a LONG time ago)is simply this:

When life kicks you in the balls,

You may as well take a bow.

[Skittles]

3. IF HE WAS A DEMOCRAT HE'D BE CALLED A F***ING JUNKIE

DON'T WE F***ING KNOW IT.

[Evil_Dewers]

4. Oh Rush, you are so brave...

And we will pray for you because you asked us to, even though you are not religious.

The dittohead sheeple need to be dropped into another country just like their Messiah has said should be done to drug abusers (himself).

[Q]

5. Wolfy Blitzer is right now trying to rationalize Rush's addiction...

..and his guest said it should be treated as a 'chronic illness'.

- All this PR garbage after millions of the poor and minorities have been sent to prison because they couldn't afford 'treatment'.

- If nothing else...this shows the inequalities and unfairness of the 'war' on drugs. Rich and connected people seldom if ever are punished for THEIR addictions.

[LuminousX]

8. Do you disagree that it should be treated as an illness?

This is exactly what I want. This is the good that can come from this. I don't want user abusers thrown in jail. That is a waste. I want them to get help.

Rush sets a standard. We just can't allow them to parse a difference between pharmaceutical addiction and other substance addiction.

[Bluzmann57]

12. Drug addiction should be treated as a disease

but Limbaugh has been such an asshole by saying that druggies should be locked up for life, deported, or whatever, that it's impossible to feel any sympathy for him. I hope this helps him, but somehow I doubt it. Once an asshole, always an asshole, at least in this case.

[w13rd0]

27. Rush IS a disease...

...he deserves nothing but contempt.

[charlie]

13. Noelle set a standard too

Too bad it'll never be applied to your nephew if he gets caught with a vial of toot.

[ElsewheresDaughter]

14. LuminousX,,damnit...be quite...you make too much sense...

your raining on my irate parade....yes you are correct aand i agree and see you are a sage...but please let me reval in limpballs pain just for a few hours :7

and yes it absolutely is an illnes...but that's not what repukes fell or believe

[pinerow]

20. Tommy Chong is in JAIL for being a small businessman

selling hand-blown glass pipes...Rush is going to detox...help me out with the "compassion" part....

[Snellius]

23. He was asking this doctor whether Rush could "act rationally"

He was asking if people were able to "function normally", as if to try to get the doctor to justify that this venomous maniac wasn't ripped out his mind the whole time. The doctor fell for it, saying that yes people can function normally, but that often they say things that they would be more restrained in saying if not under the influence. Wolfe then said that that's why Rush must have said what he said about McNabb.

CNN is really terrible: Blitzer, Greenfield, Woodruff, Crowley. What are they thinking? They're not just biased they're boring.

[finn]

9. another ratshit eater on pain pills

If it thinks rehab will help his fat ass I am laughing all the way to his funneral or his stay in the mental ward. He will be on that shit for years yet to come. Send all the presription drugs you don t need to pigboy and let him depose of them.

[charlie]

10. Lookit this indignant twit

Carving out special victim status for Rush because he hoovered up prescription drugs, unlike immoral street junkies:

Shame on them. Shame on Al Franken for his contemptible chortling. Shame on the DemocraticUnderground.com for its disgusting mockery. Shame on Tony Norman for his hateful comments. Shame on the media for turning a medical issue into a political one.

Unlike recreational drug addiction, prescription painkiller addiction belongs squarely in the medical arena. Recreational drug addiction is just that -- recreational. A junkie first picks up marijuana, cocaine or heroin in order to have a good time. No one prescribes heroin for back pain. But for many who become addicted to prescription painkillers, the dealer who gets them hooked is their family doctor.

...

It is despicable how the media have equated prescription painkiller addiction with recreational drug addiction. There is a moral difference between the two types of addicts. All drug addicts deserve sympathy, but prescription painkiller addicts clearly deserve more sympathy than recreational users.

[finn]

15. there are only one kind of addicts

just ask the addicts. don t compare yourself out before you had a chance to recover that include ratshit eating pig boys as well.

[niyad]

18. funny that we never heard this kind of sympathy for the

women who were addicted to valium, etc.

what a load of rank, stinking hypocricy from the right, totally expected

[Hubert Flottz]

19. Shame on that fool!

What a stupid brat! Rush is faking the back pain like all the employers in the country ALWAYS say workers are!

[charlie]

22. Yep

I cannot find one cite on the net of Rush discussing his back troubles before today. Even at freepland, there's only a couple of posters insisting they know they heard him talk about it sometime in the 90s, but getting no corroboration from others. He's bullshitting.

[eileen_d]

24. I haven't commented on Rush's bust

because although I loathe Rush and everything he stands for, I agree that prescription drug addiction is a medical misfortune.

But seriously - Ben Shapiro should pull his head out. "Shame on the media for turning a medical issue into a political one." If a famous liberal (let's say Tim Robbins) was in this situation, Shapiro wouldn't be saying a goddamned thing in his defense. So spare us the "shame on you" -- shame on ALL the right-wing media whores for their fascist double standards.

On a lighter note, check out this picture of Shapiro - I have the urge to stuff him in a locker.*



* Required disclaimer: I myself have been stuffed in a locker. But I didn't deserve it.

[ElsewheresDaughter]

28. eileen_d i'm in....stuff him in a locker!!! LOL

[slackmaster]

11. It's called professional courtesy

You will never hear a doctor bashing another doctor.

You will hear one lawyer bashing another when they are at adversarial roles against each other in a courtroom, but nowhere else.

Rush is a Big Cheese among professional broadcasters, even ones who hate his guts.

And I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of them had some substance abuse issues of their own (remember Jessica Savitch, anyone?) or other skeletons in their closets.

[oasis]

16. Put pill popping pigboy in the slammer and throw the key away.

No sympathy here for drug addicted hypocrites.

[Hubert Flottz]

21. If Rush is looking for Sympathy it can be found in the dictionary...

between Shit And Syphilis!

Edit}}} If YOU get caught with the amount of pill they are saying Rush was buying the Feds are going to say you intended to distribute! They should take everything Rush owns like they would do if you or I got caught, with large quanities of a controled substance! Wolf might be involved in the same conspiracy to distribute drugs the way he is upholding Rush's crime spree!

Piss Test Every News Reporter!

[barbaraann]

17. Rush did not say WHERE he was going for treatment.

I'm suspicious that it's in some balmy country that does not have an extradition treaty with the US for drug users and that it will take decades.

[ElsewheresDaughter]

30. that's right...rush was getting drugs thru mail too...4,300 in 4 days

this is a FEDERAL offense....goody goody gum drops!

[neuvocat]

31. Maybe they're happy for him

to be leaving so that way there's less competition.

[ElsewheresDaughter]

32. wondering what Daschle must be thinking? I remember the hateful attacks

and the prompting of his viewers to send hate mail and make threatening calls to Daschle and his family...

[Democat]

33. What did Rush say when Clinton apologized?

Does anyone know what Rush said on the day that Clinton apologized to the American people?

[Kool Kitty]

34. No, I don't know what he said when Clinton apologized.

(But I'm sure it was obnoxious.) As the Mother of an addict , I can tell you this-unless he really wanted to go into rehab, and that would have been without having been part of a criminal investigation, this rehab is not his idea. This is his lawyer's idea. Trust me on this-I know. That is the first thing that a lawyer will advise. Get into rehab pronto, it looks real good to the judge and in this case, real good in the papers. Did you hear Drudge on "Buchanan and Press"? Christ Almighty, I thought Matt was delivering his eulogy! The reverential tone! The "make your producer empty his pockets, Bill. I'm sure you know someone on drugs like this!" Yes, Matt. Maybe we do know someone on drugs. I know I do. But my son never went around saying that anyone that does drugs deserves to be sent up the river. The whole time you were preaching to your choir, you were high. Karma is a bitch, you hypocritical son-of-a-bitch.

[Brian Sweat]

35. Rush Limbaugh is a big, fat junkie.
