Top talk radio host Rush Limbaugh called on DNC chief Howard Dean to release his medical records yesterday, after Dean said he was standing by his false allegation that Limbaugh was a cocaine addict.
"It might be helpful if we could see his medical records," the radio host told his audience. "It might be helpful if we could get Dean's medical records and plaster them all over CNN because we won't really know the truth about anything until we get these medical records."
Citing an interview last year where Dean admitted he had a drinking problem during his college days, Limbaugh said, "The reason I think it's important to see Dean's medical records is we need to know how many brain cells he lost during his drinking binge period."
Limbaugh also questioned Dean's ethics as a medical doctor.
"What kind of a doctor must Howard Dean have been to lie about somebody's medical condition and confirm the lie and then say, 'Well, you know, Limbaugh, he makes fun of people all over the place, but we all need to protect our ethical standards.'"
In October 2003, the top talker admitted he was addicted to prescription pain killers as a result of a longstanding back problem. But even his harshest critics have never accused Limbaugh of using cocaine.
According to a report last month, in a speech to Minnesota Democrats, "[Dean] did draw howls of laughter by mimicking a drug-snorting Rush Limbaugh."
Appearing on "Meet the Press" Sunday with Tim Russert, the top Democrat defended his decision to falsely imply that the radio host used cocaine.
"The problem is not that these folks have problems. They do, and they have problems in the case of a drug addiction," said Dean. "The problem is it is galling to Democrats, 48 percent of us who did not support the president, it is galling to be lectured to about moral values by folks who have their own problems."
Dean also told Russert that he is a "committed Christian" - which apparently means he as no problems with personal morals.
Good for Rush....he should fight back. Dean is on some sort of meds. It's obvious from his rantings.
I sincerely hope the Dims aren't smart enough to dump him.
This is hilarious. Bill Clinton never did release his medical records, did he.
Dean cannot gain any support beyond the Michael Moore Left. Another treasure from the People's Republic of New England.
Limbaugh was great today. He is the standard bearer of Conservatism.
It's tough to explain certain infections/rashes.
Oh where do we start, where do we start. So much material to work with here.
I would say that committed Christians probably don't abort babies. But that's JMHO.
Oh he should be committed all right.
I don't know, he hasn't ever called Rush in the nude. :)
I wonder what the rent a Christian Libs like Jim Wallis think about abortion?
Nuff said! ;)
He's truly mad as a hatter and he's often times manic.
Or...maybe Norwalk, or Belleview were addresses for the Scream once.
Dean does not have a drinking problem, drinking has a problem with Dean.
"Bill Clinton never did release his medical records, did he."
Well, we know he wasn't neutered.
I hope so, too. I've been suffering from a Teresa Heinz Kerry Quotes withdrawal syndrome, and Dean is the only Dem that helps fill the void.:)
I love the cartoon about Dean in Sweden on the cultural exchange . . . NEXT SCREAM AT 1800 or some such.
He's about as beyond the pale . . . as . . . we . . . a long list of DIMRATS.
Hasn't Dean been on anti-depressants or anti-psychotic drugs in the past? I seem to remember something being said about him having a real mental problem.
Imagine, if Dean was replaced with Teresa!
What's up with Dean using the line "for the 48 percent of us who did not support the president" in every appearance he makes?
