1. Maybe Bush can pardon Rush just before he leaves office next year n/t

[loudnclear]

16. McDrudge is really spinning for Rush

If it had been you or me, the automated prescription drug system would have caught up with us long time ago with that many overlapping prescriptions. My insurace won't even let me overlap diuretics.

BTW, Rush is picking up weight very fast. So all that weight loss was really do to drugging I suspect...drugging unless it's pot takes away your appetite. (so I have been told)

2. Good...Let's Lock Him Under Glass n/t

25. . . . or bury him.

3. Maybe a national treasure for the Republican Party

More like a national travesty for the rest of us.

Gee, since when do we make illegal narcotics drug abusers "national treasures", while others who sell colorful smoking pipes rot in prison?

Bite me George.

4. Bush has no idea how he loses respect when saying these sort of statements

He is the Weakest Link and a TWIT to boot.

8. ditto

11. Ummm...

I don't think you would want him to do that to you.

15. My tetanus shots are up to date................nt

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

5. And Shrub is a compassionate conservative

who is in office only to serve the American people. </sarcasm>

6. Hey, those junkie hypocrites gotta stick together

Coke & oxycontin party this weekend at Jeb's place - Poppy's buying!

[radwriter0555]

7. Rush fell on the sword for bush over the Wilson spy scandal, so of

course he's now considered a national treasure.

[DancingBear]

9. This quote should find its way into somebodys stump speech

Something along the lines of "President praises pill-popping conservative commentator" would be fine.

Said in a nice way, of course. :) :)

[chromotone]

10. Perhaps he actually referred to him as a "nasal treasure..."

... a Freudian slip from one hophead to another.

[Hep]

12. Tossed salad anyone?

gross.

[eleny]

13. Sounds like a dreaded vote of confidence

Rush has outlived his usefulness.

[opihimoimoi]

14. Soon to be burnt toast

[JohnLocke]

17. More like national toxic waste dump

[Generic Other]

18. Anal cyst meets AWOL

Yup, two national treasures.

[yellowcanine]

19. National laughingstock is more like it.

Maybe that's what Bush meant to say.

[JackDaniel1216]

20. did you really expect anything less?

[rasputin1952]

21. So, when do we get to ...

bury this "national treasure"?

:evilgrin:

[soupkitchen]

22. National treasure of "stashed" oxycontin (which might also explain GW)

[Dr Fate]

23. Drug abusers stick up for their own /Link: CS Monitor on Bush's Coke Habit

When the governor decried the game of "gotcha" that journalists play with issues like this, he was completely correct. After a series of non-denials about using the drug(Cocaine), his final answer was that he may or may not have done it, but if he did, it was at least 25 years ago...

24. What, again?

When Limbaugh announced that he was deaf, whirled-nuts reported that some senior staffer said "The president noted Rush Limbaugh is a national treasure". Is this a recycled quote?

[kodi]

26. so, by Bush's logic, so is the Fresh Kills Landfill

smell about the same too.
