How Rush will save himself

[democracyindanger]

This is what I think will happen (some others may have said the same thing, but I haven't seen them):

He'll go into the rehab program. When he comes back out, he'll say that he "rediscovered and recommitted himself to God."

A page out of Junior's booze mea culpa. I wouldn't be surprised if he even goes to the same rehab center. His audience, looking for any reason to forgive him, will gladly glom on to this. His first few shows will be about how he gave himself to Jesus, include a long oratory about the 'truth' in his 'talent on loan from God' shtick, etc. The average Dittohead will find it a bit boring, all this religion stuff, but his fundie listeners will eat it up. His audience demos may shift a little, he may even lose some listeners (who'll just change to Hannity or Savage), but on balance he won't be hurt that much. The 'liberal' media is already setting up the soft cushion for him to land on.

Eventually, he'll be back to his old, demagogic self, albeit with more of a religious bent.

1. I just hope he has to broadcast from jail

2. Too late

In another thread they're saying MSNBC reported he had pills FedEXed to his house. His career's going to be on hold for a lot longer than a month-long detox.

8. FedEx

... when it positively, absolutely has to get there overnight. Rushie-boy has needs!

3. Yes but - -

...boozers can fake it through the relapses...junkies can't...I can't speak from experience - but it would seem opiates are far harder to kick...

11. It is the same disease all around

simply a matter of different manifestations. We don't make comparisons between 'types' of substances, because they all present their own unique difficulties. Asfar as your statement about boozers being able to fake it, I am not sure what you mean, but would be very curious to know. Please elaborate.

4. Right

he will find G-D....just like Carla Fay Tucker did. Except Bush killed HER and the right wingers didn't care that SHE found G-D.

He MUST go to prison. He got his drugs from Fedex for crying out loud.
We cannot let him get away with this one. It's imperative that he pays for what he's done.

5. I hope he dies a slow painful death

Like these children did.

6. Karma's a Bitch!

7. He goes Jesus and his demographics are dead.

He'll lose the Catholics, Jews, and a-religious, as well as the Liberterians.

He'd be dead meat, or at least consigned to Salem Radio Networks, alongside with Chuck Colson.

9. Don't forget "It's time to move on" to anyone that brings it up

which is a key part of the way they deflect this shit.

[elfin]

10. My thought exactly

except it won't just be "God" - but he will find Jesus. Go pray with GW - the whole bit.

Will lavish EVEN MORE praise on flyboy, telling all that he is in office fighting godless terrorists and Pigboy has the airwaves because of a "higher power."

Watch for it - it WILL happen maybe even with readings from the Fundie Bible.

12. Rush dodges his pledged explaination about the ongoing police drug probe.

He's running away.

[snippy]

13. Why would he need saving? Shittoheads won't care.

He validates their hatred.

A liar, a hypocrite, a bigot, and a hate monger walk into a bar. The bartender says . . . hi Rush.
