BREAKING: MATT LAUER used cocaine 20+ years ago!
According to Drudge the National Enquirer will report this earth shattering news soon!

http://drudgereport.com/

What would be really shocking is to find someone between 40 and 60 who didn’t use the stuff in the 1980s.

This must have something to do with Rush’s severe ongoing addiction. They wanted to find someone not in hate media to pin a drug problem on, but this just looks silly.

12. I didn't.
The people who I encountered at parties could never shut the fuck up about the most banal, idiotic topics (quite often themselves) that it served as an inducement not to indulge.

10. Exaggeration is a form of humor.
There was a short time during the 1980s that it was considered a safe drug, that time passed when many became addicted. During the time that it was considered safe many people tried the stuff.

7. Did Lauer crusade to put people in jail because of their
choice of mind/mood alternating drugs?

No.

Therefore, BFD.

If Rush had 1/1000 of Matt's honesty and objectivity, I'd have sympathy for bigtime blowhard narcotic's junkie.

Never touched the stuff, never even been tempted. Never touched pot, or any other illegal drug, for that matter. I have several friends who are in the same boat, so it's not that unusual.

13. I'm in that bracket, and I never touched any controlled substance
except by prescription for back pain, after which I stopped. Geez, I'd been around drunks and high people quite a bit, and I had enough brains to see that they were miserable idiots before, during and after, but the worst was during. It didn't look like any fun to me.

21. Same here.
I watched some talented people let drugs eat them up when I was a kid; that killed any feelings of curiosity I might otherwise have had. The drugs they gave me for my back never did much but put me to sleep, and even in sleep, the pain was there -- a weird feeling. Vicodan, Percocet, Percodan, Ultram, I have a cabinet full of stuff that I used once or twice and stopped taking because it didn't do anything but knock me out. Looking at fatass Rush, I'm happy about it now.

Hey Rush -- if you're reading this from rehab, I probably have enough stuff in my cabinet to feed your habit for about, oh, say, two days. For cheap! All you have to do is go through one of your radio shows acting like a rational human being, and they're all yours -- for free!

This is incredible!!! I can't believe it!!! Matt Lauer!!! Wait, I just realized I don't give a shit. Get back to me when Matt's doin' a couple of fat lines off Katie Couric's bared breasts live on camera.

17. Desperate!
Has Matt ever blasted anyone about using drugs like the way Lush Rimjob has? No. So it's not important.

Repugs are really desperate!

23. Since 20 year old transgressions
are now fair game do you think that Chimp will now have to account for his criminal past?

This will play out that since no one cares about Matt’s checkered past why should they care about Chimp’s, not remembering that Matt is an entertainer/journalist and Chimp is the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.

25. But Matt Lauer still has a brain and can use it. Not so for Bunnypants.
