Should Rush consider moving to Mexico?
As we all know, Rush Limbaugh will soon be entering treatment for his drug addiction even though, as noted in the MSNBC link just cited, he

often made the case that drug crimes deserve punishment.

“Drug use, some might say, is destroying this country. And we have laws against selling drugs, pushing drugs, using drugs, importing drugs. ... 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,” Limbaugh said on his short-lived television show on Oct. 5, 1995.

During the same show, he commented that statistics that show blacks go to prison more often than whites for the same drug offenses only illustrate that “too many whites are getting away with drug use.”


Given Rush's seemingly persistent difficulties with substance abuse, as a practical consideration one wonders whether it might be advantageous for him to consider moving to Mexico where drug use is soon to be decriminalized. We would all miss him no doubt, but not to fear. He would surely waste no time in broadcasting his swill to us from south of the border.
