Cnn is talking about Rush
They are saying that at first, the drugs won't affect your cognition until later. It will only provide temporary glee. However, they were also trying to describe the treatment programs. They said that in order for Rush to fully recover, he would have to be extremely honest with himself. His show of humility this morning, they said, is a good step that it is possible he could succeed.

They also said that it is guarunteed that he would go into relapse at least once or a couple times.

1. Rush? Humility?
Did I miss something. I just got back into town. Did Rush do something on his show today?

2. Addicts have a problem with grandiosity, do you think he does?
Let's see

- grandiosity
- denial
- blaming others
- self-centeredness
- paranoia
- cognitive dissonance
- lying


Hmm, would it fit Rush?

4. I;ve been wondering what his recovery would entail
Wouldn't he have to face his own hypocrisy in the process? I'm considerably doubtful of his ability to do that 180.

And listening to his words of today when Rush talked about other famous people who came out of rehab and were given accolades etc.- He said he didn't wanted that. Uh-huh, sure Rush. I think he's still fooling himself. He's still too full of himself to know one way or the other if he can turn himself inside out, humility-wise.

5. He wasn't humble. He tried to make a graceful exit to save his ass

from the law, and his miserable career in the Hate Industry.

6. He HAS relapsed--this is his what, third time?
Didn't he say this morning that he's been in rehab BEFORE (didn't he say twice before)?

How nice of CNN to be so nice to him.
