My prayer for Rush Limbaugh

[dsc]

is the same as my prayer for myself. May he understand God's will in his life and do what he can to make it happen. From what I have read Rush is in for a very tough fight (two detoxes failing don't bode well). I have been sober since April of 2000 when I checked into detox and after five days left to complete an intensive outpatient program (I had mediocre insurance). Rush will be able to pay for the best treatment possible. But without surrender, which money can't buy, he will fail. Without his full acceptence that he is an addict, no different from me or any other addict, who is powerless over his drug of choice, he will fail. Being sober and working a program are work. That is why it isn't called playing a program.

Rush's statement seems fairly honest to me. Being honest doesn't mean disregarding lawyer's advice. He told the public what the public needs to know. He needs to be fully honest with himself. I hope he is. Of course only he knows if he has.

I won't revel in Rush's problems. Nor will I treat him differently from any other addict. I am proud of my involvment in service work in AA as I want to give back to a program that has saved my life. But I also know that helping addicts is what will keep me sober. Rush and I are unlikely to ever meet. But if we did, I would treat him live every other addict I know. I would shake his hand, introduce myself, and offer him whatever help to stay sober that I could give. That is what keeps me sober.

Money buys a lot of things. It may well have prevented him from hitting the bottom he needs to really understand what he is doing to his life. But money won't buy him recovery. It won't work his program. It won't kick his ass when he needs it, and listen to him when he needs that. Only someone who has been where he has been can do that for him. That is what will keep that person sober.

So flame me if you want. Revel if you want. But for me, I will pray Rush finds God's will in his life and does what he can to make it happen. That would be a win win situation I would think.

[DS1]

1. on the other hand

He's only doing this because he got caught, so his "honesty" pales somewhat in that light.

[NaMeaHou]

4. Yes

His "honesty" is only an attempt to lessen whatever legal penalties may lay in store for him. I would guess nothing. If an average dittohead did what Limbaugh did, that dittohead would be facing a long jail term. I won't hold my breath for that to happen to Limbaugh.

In fact, I hope it doesn't happen to Limbaugh. It will be another wealthy Floridian that gets off the hook while thousands of others live in prison cells that should never have been built for them. Maybe someday, there will be sane drug laws in this country for not only him and the others in his economic level, but for everyone.

[eleny]

6. Amen

[soupkitchen]

2. Well, Rush will have to learn the 12 steps are not goose steps.

[Chovexani]

14. ROFL

I'm stealin' that one if you don't mind. :evilgrin:

As far as Pigboy's problems are concerned, he gets no sympathy from me. I don't believe in cursing people, but my hope is that karma gives him a good bitchslap and he wakes up.

But I would be a damn liar if I said I wasn't happy that evil bastard is going down in flames. He's been a boil on the ass of humanity for 15 years, and is largely responsible for the fucked up state our country is in. I hope he gets what he deserves--nothing more, but nothing less.

--C

[charlie]

16. Hell, I'll curse him for you

I hope the detox orderlies spackle his butt cheeks together and force feed him donuts.

And let that be the easiest day he'll have for at least a year.

[Chovexani]

23. Well now

That's about the funniest curse I've heard. I can approve of that one. :)

Thanks for the nyuk.

[comradebillyboy]

3. i would pray that rush would be repeatedly sodomized

in his prison cell by large nasty tattooed convicts. but since i am an athiest, i don't pray for anything.

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

5. One of the first things you have to do...

To start recovery and the long walk towards sobriety, is get over yourself, or at least the illusions you have wrapped yourself with, like swaddling clothes. I know. Oh, how well I know.

That will be Pigboy's biggest battle, up until he starts doing his apologizing. He has a lot of that to do, apologizing. Tons. It'll be a new career.

[Wickerman]

41. Step 8

I just posted in another thread:

Made a list of all persons we had harmed, and became willing to make amends to them all.

And some of them are dead, some suicides - its gonna be a long a haul

hmm - 666 posts, damn, I knew I shouldn't be critical of someone elses program....

[Junkdrawer]

59. And judging from the posts here, his 9th step ain't going to be a picnic..

either.

[zekeson]

77. you reap what you sow

[nini]

7. I don't wish addiction on anyone.. but he's still a hateful windbag.

and that's why I detest him.

[eileen_d]

10. I agree

I won't make fun of Rush's addiction, but I will chortle with glee as his hypocrisy is exposed.

[KoKo]

8. You are kinder than I am.....or you are a Fool!

What else could one say about a man who caused so much "MISERY" for America!

The issue here is HYPOCRACY! Not SYMPATHY for a fellow human being. Just, my humble opinion!

[AlinPA]

9. Limbaugh trashed Democrats and progressives/Liberals (us).

May the dirty bastard climb the walls and suffer. He is a hypocrite. Just like the rest of the rPIGs. No empathy/sympathy here.

[in_cog_ni_to]

11. Congrats on your recovery

but I will never give my sympathy to that assh*le. He has made our lives a living hell and I can only hope he enjoys HIS living hell in prison. He's a hypocrite. How many people did he ridicule for the same thing he was/is doing?

[gully]

12. You are much more kind then Rush, who would never extend the Grace

you have to anyone.

I do wish him well in recovery, but I hope his show is over. ;)

[dbt]

13. Rush will test the faith of Christians everywhere.

By his past words and deeds, he has proven himself worthy of only damnation for his lies and hypocrisy. Under the so-cherished Old Testament dogma of the Religious Reich, he has earned only the fires of Hell.

I want to hear the Literalists who have blindly supported this IDIOT over the years suddenly begin applying the teachings of Jesus Christ (whom they have so roundly ignored for a thousand years) to this case.

Go ahead, lads, and try to be convincing!

:evilgrin:
dbt

[Mari333]

26. amen may Rush rot in the Hell he has helped create for the little ones

and may he never go on the air again.
May he die a slow and horrible death, as did thousands of Iraqi children, and may he know, in his last moments, how many dead children and GIs , wounded and dead, felt as they suffered through the atrocities of an illegal war run by the Thugs that Rush Limbaugh has defended.

[Mari333]

15. GEE I JUST THINK OF ALL THE DEAD GIS IN IRAQ

and the war that Rush backed, and the war that murdered so many of our sons and daughters, and the 1000's of kids and families dead thanks to that son of a bitch and I dont care if he dies a slow and painfilled death for all the horrors his talk show and their listeners have foisted on this country..
F*** him and F*** the horse he rode in on.

this little baby says F*** YOU RUSH and the REST OF THE THUGS who tried to KILL ME

[donotpassgo]

25. I like the freeper responses of...

those evil libs are so vile and hateful DIE CLINTON DIE CLINTON.

Or this one: "These voices of outrage and comdemnations have no status to attack Rush when they have been silent in the face of their own sins and crimes. Serial RAPIST? Convicted liar? Admitted adulterer?, draft dodger?,taker of bribes?,giver of bribes?, Lying weasel?"

Well the voices of moral outrage at CLINTON better show that they aren't just full of shit. Serial Rapist???? You mean Arnie. Nah, God likes him better. Convicted Liar? You mean Liddy? Admitted Adulterer? You mean Reagan or Newt Gingrich? Lying weasel? Where are those WMD's again?

I hope Rush gets over his addiction in jail as he spends time with all the dark skin folks who are destroying America by taking drugs.
I agree F*** YOU PERP WALK.

[beanball]

17. Prayers for Rush

ladies,gentlemen and boys and girls,I don't care how vile his behavior was,he is still a child of God's and I too shall pray for Mr.Limbaugh.God bless our planet.

[Mari333]

21. No god or goddess wants him

he's the spawn of whatever satan is, and I hope he dies horribly like every GI and every dead child in Iraq had to die , the war he supported..
Instant Karma Rush, you pig.

This little girl is dead thanks to the GOP, spineless Dems, anyone who voted for Bush, and people like Rush Limbaugh.

[mumon]

18. First, I just want to say:

Urine test the son of a bitch forever and ever.

Thanks.

Having got that out of the way, let me say that I don't share your religion. Yeah, you say "spiritual, not religious," but program ideology doesn't keep you sober. It's ultimately because you believe you can be sober. And that's OK. Your program isn't for everyone, and shouldn't be. There needs to be alternatives to 12 Step programs, becuase they DON'T work for everyone.


Nobody needs their ass kicked. Not even Limbaugh. He's got his reward/punishment already. And I'm grateful he's off the air, at least for now, and at least there's the opportunity for him to change. And yes, I'm very, very happy today, because the Wheel has turned.



I hope though that he actually does do a Lee Atwater, sees the error of his ways, and becomes a better person.


But thanks for your post; I will you well with your path, though it ain't mine.

[dsc]

19. I meant figuratively

on the ass kicking. Ie I mean he needs to find someone who will call him on his stuff.

[mumon]

30. Maybe. But first, and foremost...

what he needs to do is listen without judgement.

That's his weak point.

[cmd]

20. I ask; What Would Rush Do?

I feel sorry for drug addicts; but have no mercy for hypocrits. Have at him.

[bluedog]

64. how he feels about drugs.......some statements

"We're going to let you destroy your life. We're going to make it easy and then all of us who accept the responsibilities of life and don't destroy our lives on drugs, we'll pay for whatever messes you get into."
-- Rush Limbaugh show, Dec. 9, 1993

"I'm appalled at people who simply want to look at all this abhorrent behavior and say people are going to do drugs anyway let's legalize it. It's a dumb idea. It's a rotten idea and those who are for it are purely 100 percent selfish."
-- Rush Limbaugh show, Dec 9, 1993

"If (Surgeon General Jocelyn Elders) wants to legalize drugs, send the people who want to do drugs to London and Zurich, and let's be rid of them.
-- Rush Limbaugh show, Dec 9, 1993

"There's nothing good about drug use. 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.

"What this says to me is that too many whites are getting away with drug use. Too many whites are getting away with drug sales. Too many whites are getting away with trafficking in this stuff. The answer to this disparity is not to start letting people out of jail because we're not putting others in jail who are breaking the law. The answer is to go out and find the ones who are getting away with it, convict them and send them up the river, too."
-- Rush Limbaugh show, Oct. 5, 1995

[no name no slogan]

91. So acting like Rush is a GOOD thing, when he's the target?

That makes us no better than the Freepers, who seem to think someone's else's misery is entertaining.

God that is sick :puke:

[ignatius]

22. And my prayer for Rush is that his tongue falls out. I think

that would be poetic justice.

[Hubert Flottz]

54. I'd like to see it being cut out on ESPN!

The man is a classic Nazi!

[Individualist]

24. I have no compassion

for a man who makes his living by trying to destroy the lives of others with lies/bigotry!

[Mari333]

28. amen look at the pictures of the children that all the GOP

and spineless Dems who voted for this illegal war have murdered..look at the 323 dead GIs and over 1400 wounded and say anyone gives a SHIT about what happens to Rush Limbaugh..I dont...I hope he rots away slowly and painfully for what he has been a part of

[Paladin]

27. I Have The Same Regard And Sympathy For Rush......

...as he had on his show for Jerry Garcia, River Phoenix and no telling how many others who experienced tragedies involving drugs. He reveled in their misfortunes, he made jokes about their deaths. When discussing gays who had died of AIDS, he made his comments with the song "I Know I'll Never Love This Way Again" in the background. Fuck him.

[Junkdrawer]

29. As someone with 15 yrs. sobriety, here's my take:

If Rush, or anyone, sincerely asked for my help, I am obliged to give it. I am also obliged to give him the benefit of the doubt. However, today, on the eve of his entry into rehab, Rush no less than twice used Program Speak to elevate himself and put down what he calls liberals. I am perfectly well allowed to find that obnoxious behavior. Were I there, I would have called him on it instantly, just as I would if anyone did that anywhere including an AA meeting.

So Rush can come to any meeting he wants and he can expect a warm welcome. But if he thinks he can game the rules like he has everywhere else, he should know that we have seen his type come and go and come and go. In my mind, he’s just a garden-variety drunk.

[Mari333]

37. Poor Rush, Millionaire addicted to Oxys

Gee my heart goes out to his plight and all the hard times he must be going through...awwwwwwww poor guy ..all he did was support an illegal regime and an illegal war..MY GOSH HE HAS SO MUCH TO WORRY ABOUT we should all support his fat arse in some wealthy rehab 12 step program..

In the meantime: the people Rush loves to kill when he supports Bush policies:


Think they have a rehab program for him? I doubt it

[greekspeak]

31. My favorite parts about Rush's apology were...

1) how he was already feigning humility...to paraphrase, I don't want anyone to pat me on the back when this is all done

2) ranting about how "the truth" would eventually come out.

So, instead of a heart-felt apology I see this as some sort of ploy to garner sympathy for himself. Would that all those Rush has wronged over the years have a drop of the sympathy Rush is getting from his minions. And while addicted to pain killers (he admits this addiction is nothing new), he has no doubt broadcast countless times about the minority drug dealers that are so evil. Maybe if Rush Limbaugh was sincerely apologetic I will have more sympathy for him.

[spooky3]

32. People who lack control over themselves often try to control others.

Is there a better example than RL?

I don't wish him ill. I wish that he will come to realize he has been wrong and has wronged others all these years, then live an exceptionally good remainder of his life to make up for it.

[Timefortruth]

33. Every word you say is the truth.

We can’t elevate ourselves by pounding Rush. Human nature is what it is so condemning Rush for his hypocrisy just can’t be avoided, but let’s be the evolved side of this debate.

Rush should suffer the criminal penalties for his crimes because he doesn’t have a prayer in recovery unless there are some real consequences. A year or so in a Club Fed might make him come to terms with the fact that is just an ordinary, pathetic addict. Once he realizes that he is a frail mortal maybe insight will follow or maybe not, but either way he will have suffered the reality that is addiction, and will never be able to condemn an addict again.

It is hard to forgive or understand how someone who has caused so much harm, but unless we do we have reduced ourselves to them.

[Mari333]

40. F**k Forgiveness

The Blood of these people are on his hands...let him live with the Karma

[Timefortruth]

43. There is a difference between forgiveness and understanding.

Rush let his hate consume him, very nearly literally. He aided and abetted the hate of millions of people, he failed to use his influence for good, encouraged policies that caused misery, every thing Rush stood for was to appeal to the ugly core of human nature. He gave people permission believe and act in a way that avoided compassion, he made bigotry and loathing righteous.

How can we awaken the part of the American psyche that used to understand the complexity of human nature if we adopt Rush’s vitriol? Rush personifies the hypocrisy of the right, perhaps we should personify what is wrong with their twisted view.

It isn’t necessary that we forgive Rush. If he comes out of this spewing the same lies and venom as before then we should attack in kind. Maybe, just maybe, he will learn something, that pride does come before the fall, but we don’t know yet

[KG]

45. well, in that case, very kindly f*ck understanding, too!

:)

let's be straight up - rush is the geobbels of the 1990's.

and unlike rush, my vitriol directed right at him and his cronies, not a strawman or stereotype which was his m.o.

[Timefortruth]

46. LOL

But you have to get my point. If all we give back is more of the same we are not going to promote a truly more compassionate society.

[Mari333]

48. Forget it. No forgiveness ever for him No anything

for any spineless Dem or warmongering GOP who supports murdering 328 of our soldiers, wounding over 1600 of them, and murdering thousands of Iraqi civilians for Halliburton and Bechtel
None whatsoever. Nada. I hope he rots in rehab for eternity.

[Timefortruth]

53. Do you think that we will win the hearts

and minds of the majority if what we offer is contempt? Rush has acted despicably, horribly he is exactly what is wrong with this country. Who gives a damn about him? We need to demonstrate that there is more to us that hating what we oppose; the world is truly a complex place. Our leaders really are greedy liars, but is useless to hate them, it consumes your soul. The only thing that matters is doing what is right to change the way things are, the only thing.

There is one person on this planet who you can control. Control her, work for change. Work for justice, pray that Rush learns the truth. If Rush finds out why he hates himself maybe he can also be a force for good.

[Mari333]

66. The only good thing that the earth can give us now

is that people like Rush die in Rehab

the less of those kind of people, the better.

[no name no slogan]

92. Worked for Hitler, can work for us too? (n/t)

[Fatima]

86. I'm with you...

people like Rush gloat over scenes like these...

Let him suffer. Sympathy for him is a waste of breath and energy. He had the money and resources to get help for himself a long time ago, and only came clean because he was caught, period, end. Why anyone here has pity for him is beyond my comprehension. Nice sentiment, but misplaced...

[DrWeird]

39. My prayer for Rush Limbaugh...

...when he meets Lucifer in the afterlife is that he finally learns the meaning of the word "hypocrite".

[oasis]

42. Rush dodges his pledged explanation about the ongoing police drug probe.

That's what his emotional "pray for me" appeal is all about. He beats a hasty exit without a word about the law being on tail.

[linazelle]

44. Rush hates "bleeding heart liberals" like you

He eats them for lunch. The CONs have made fun of qualities such as empathy and compassion and made them out to be signs of weakness. Whose hearts are bleeding now?

[Timefortruth]

50. So we’ll show him by demonstrating that we are no better then him?

If all we have to offer is a different flavor of hate how will we accomplish what needs to be done?

Isn’t the point that we want to reintroduce reason to the political debate? There is more to our side than being the antiRepublicans, at least there is from my perspective.

[Mari333]

55. Wrong

Rush, the GOP, spineless Dems and anyone who voted for Bush are responsible for every dead child, every dead soldier and every wounded human being in this illegal war..They are my enemies, everyone of them. I have not an ounce of sympathy for them, they want to deploy my son and murder him overseas for their war, and they have already killed other peoples children for their fraudulent war built on lies.

Im sorry honey, But Rush Limbaugh is in rehab for drugs and even tho you are dead thanks to his promotions of Bush's illegal war, we should pray for his sorry ass.

[Timefortruth]

56. Your anger is justified, but you aren’t going to change any minds.

And unless minds are changed the horror will continue.

[Mari333]

68. change whose minds???

I dont give a flying F*ck whose minds I change..there are assholes who get off on dying children, and dead children ..people like RUSH Limbaugh..and there are decent people who tell the truth..
this thread is about giving a shit about Limbaugh..I dont..no one with any iota of human compassion gives a shit about one of Bush's minions..
Its like caring about HITLER..No thanks....

[Paladin]

61. Yeah, I'm One Of Those "Bleeding Heart Liberals"......

....that Rush hates. But I've never been addicted to any harmful substances and I have a spotless legal record; I've been happily married to the same woman for more than thirty years; I haven't made a career of appealing to the dark side of this country's collective psyche; my face isn't plastered all over this week's supermarket tabloids; and scores of AM radio Rush-wannabe hate jocks aren't begging for some slack to be cut to me because I'm "just human."

Fuck me, Rush? No....fuck YOU.

[creativelcro]

47. I pray...

He gets a stroke and suffers for the rest of his life... -C

[Liberal Classic]

51. Amen

I say this from personal and familial experience, good post.

[Katie]

57. I pray Rush gets the same mercy he has shown others..none

There are so many people in this world who can not afford the care Rush will now be receiving. He'll get the best money can buy. I'll save my prayers for people who are truly suffering and cant get a helping hand in this world. This rich loud mouth hypocrite can. He didnt even have the "character" (his favorite topic!) to come clean on his own. He had to be "outed" by his maid. I feel sorrier for her, then I do him, imagine what this guy put HER through to keep his habit going. God should show him the same mercy he has shown others, none.

[Cat Atomic]

60. I hope he get better and finds himself bankrupt and without

prospects. He deserves a chance to "pull himself by his bootstraps" in the Bush economy.

[creativelcro]

65. Right...

"prospects. He deserves a chance to "pull himself by his bootstraps" in the Bush economy."

Why deprive him of such an opportunity ?...

[Selwynn]

62. I thank you for this post - you are in the extreme minority

in this sentiment, and that is what's saddest about this entire story.

The saddest thing about this entire news cycle about Rush, is DU reactions.

[Katie]

70. Selwynn Go volunteer in a rehab center

show your compassion for those who truly need it.

[no name no slogan]

90. Thank you

By wishing evil on Rush, we're only dragging ourselves into the gutter with the rest of the slimeballs. It saddens me to see DUers, who claim to be "compassionate" where the rightwingers are not, showing such a complete lack of compassion.

Harboring this hatred for him is not good for us, either. It gets into your soul, and rots away at you like a cancer. It turns you into the same kind of monster that you despise in Rush-- or the Freepers for that matter.

No, I don't like him, or his politics, or his show(s), or much else about him. However, he is a human being, and as such deserves at least a little sympathy for his plight.

If he were to ask for forgiveness for his actions, I would forgive him, but I would also hold him accountable for his actions and ask him to repay society in the same way he harmed it. And we don't know what will happen once he kicks the monkey off his back. Opiates are very hard to quit, and have a high relapse rate. Maybe this round will take, maybe it won't. Only time will tell.

he has a WHOLE SHITLOAD of penance to perform first

[Eloriel]

71. dsc and junkdrawer

Both very provocative posts. I tend to rather prefer Junkdrawer's take on it, but both are very provocative.

I can't find it in my heart to be quite so charitable. That man has done an enormous amount of harm to this country. And at the risk of assessing someone else's program, his list of amends has got to be a Guinness Record Breaker. Let's see if he comes to understand that.

My bet is he won't even do the Program, not really.

I think it's also worth noting that while often overlooked, power and money are also addictions. Workaholism too. And, of course, the underlying cause of ALL addictions is Codependence.

Thanks for these two posts. Definitely provocative -- and all the more meaningful (and authoritative) coming from people who are actually working their programs.

Eloriel

[dsc]

79. Thank you

I just got back from a meeting. I like to think that AA has given me a different and less vindictive take on life than I otherwise would have. I still lose it from time to time but I don't hold grudges like I used to. Rush has his work cut out for him. Fame and money are terrible barriers to a successful program. For every Martin Sheen there is a whole host of Robert Downey Jrs. I used to envy the likes of those but now I know that sobriety is more important than that and I will take what I get when I get it.

[Junkdrawer]

81. Thanks. Look, the AAs and NAs here are charitable for two reasons...

1.) Our program demands it

But also...

2.) The people with a stretch of hard-won sobriety know for a fact that either El Rushbo learns true honesty and humility, or he dies a death you wouldn't want to wish on a dog.

I think that much of the hate is because most here think that Limbaugh will skate and that in 30 days Limbaugh will be back more powerful than ever. Nope. Limbaugh changes or goes down in flames like Joe McCarthy.

[retyred]

73. Pray for Rush?

"On a daily basis, on average, 10 Americans die by drowning, and nine Americans die by fire in their homes. 14 Americans die by pedestrian accidents. 27 Americans die in falls. On average, 50 Americans a day are murdered. 118 die in auto accidents, and 25 people die from AIDS every day, on average. Yesterday, two Americans died in battle in Iraq." — Rush Limbaugh belittling the casualty count as so low....why should we care?

dsc....You pray for him! There are so many more deserving!!!!

[jiacinto]

74. Good post

I am sure that there are quite a few DUers themselves who have had drug/alcohol problems themselves. To judge someone else by conduct that they themselves have gone through smacks of the worst hypocrisy possible.

Rush has said a lot of hateful things on the air. And he has been horrible to people. What he did to Donovan McNabb was wrong and inappropriate.

I do hope that in therapy Rush can see what he has done to other people. I do know, however, that it takes strength and dedication to get through it.

I don't know if Rush has that.

[Ilsa]

75. Even my 77 year old father has zip sympathy for Rush

and he's a retired preacher. He's listened to Rush for fun occasionally, but started turning him off for all his hatefulness and sliming other people when they are down. He doesn't appreciate that Rush hurts others to make a living. He doesn't wish him ill; he does not have an ounce of sympathy.

[creativelcro]

76. c'mon...

guys... Don't be so inhbited... There is nothing wrong or immoral with wishing someone ill... Nothing to be ashamed of... No reason to hide it... As long as you don't induce the ill, that is...

78. My father won't waste any energy wishing him ill.

But he won't waste any energy feeling sorry for him or even saying a prayer for him, either. It is a matter that he is essentially "done with it".

I'm enjoying Fat Boy's embarrassment and any he brings to those who promote him. I could care less about the pain he may face because he has been a political instrument that brought pain upon others with reich-wing policies.

But most of all, I'll be really happy if he nevers comes back on radio or tv.

but I'm not kissing this fat tub of shit's ass.

I'll wait for the inevitable Howard Stern prayer for fatboy.

84. That's nice of you, and it's your opinion

but I think Limbaugh is a phoney baloney sack of horse crap who came clean only because he was caught, and may very well slip back into addiction while suffering NO CONSEQUENCES- as in job loss, disgrace, jail time, etc.

-While average Joes and Janes everywhere who are caught with a couple of pills or a bag of weed get the boom lowered on them by the penal system.

It's hypocrisy and class warfare at it's finest.

If he really wants to impress me, let him resign from his show. Let him donate money and time to help the people he hurt with his acid tongue. I won't hold my breath waiting for that to happen, I can assure you.

He verbally assaulted all sorts of down-and-out people over the years and I just figure this is karma. Had he not been such an enormous ass I might have actually wished him well, but that is impossible for me. The SOB can't suffer enough in my opinion.
