Well, unfortunately, Rush left himself wide open for this criticism and suffers the resultant loss of credibility. I like Rush but, sheeesh, was a mess he made for himself.
I pray you never have deep chronic relentless pain.
Sheesh, welcome to FR.
Rush was put on prescription drugs by his doctor for intense pain. He became addicted to these drugs, which I would blame on the doctor, not on Rush. The same thing could happen to anyone. Rush went cold turkey, which also must have been painful, and is now off the drugs.
None of this would ever arisen if not for a slimy, crooked, lying Democrat prosecutor in Florida, much like the slimy, crooked, lying Democrat prosecutor who has gone after DeLay in Texas.
I don't think that you know what you are talking about regarding Rush. His drug problem stemmed from inoperable, intractible back pain. Well, not exactly inoperable, inoperable if he wanted to be able to speak that is. The doctors wanted to go through the front of his throat to get to the spine.
My liberal sister in law was making fun of Rush's drug problem, too. She didn't think it was so funny when she realized that his addiction was the same as hers, for the same the reason. She had an operation, and has been trying to kick the pills for the past year.
MD4Bush? Is that you?
Only in the eyes of holier-than-thou, sel-righteous, hypocrites like yourself.
His credibility and popularity are at an all time high!
He/she who is without sin, cast the first stone.
Rush is still using
Rush was addicted to a prescription drug, Al made it sound like he was a hard core drug abuser, like many of his friends in Hollywood are.
This remark was not born of any remarkable failing of Rush, but by the remarkable hypocrisy of those who have psychopathic need to condemn him.
Wonder why so many millions listen to him if he lost his credibility? I try to never miss his show myself.
Even when he was having his problem, his insight and ability to explain complex political subjects could not be matched. Certainly the hot air radio nuts can not compete with him.
He's ALWAYS been criticized......what credibility has he lost??? Where has what he's written or spoke been incorrect?
Hello?
Hello?
See ya. Hope ya had fun.

Wecome to FR.
Sue, you haven't responded to any of the ELEVEN FReepers who have made comments on your one post. How about some courtesy to them?
BTW, the main legal angle on Rush is for "doctor shopping", which Rush explained away a couple of times. He went to his same doctor group to get a refill of oxy, but his normal doctor wasn't in. He asked one of the other doctors to give him a prescription for his main doctor, which he did. It was all above board, and the backup doctor notified Rush's normal doctor.

Sniff, sniff...whats that smell? Troll?
Don't let your colors show too soon. You've only been here three days.
Uh, do ya think franken ever used drugs??
I don't know he's making millions and despite being deaf and taking a program to get off drugs for chronic pain.
Al Frankin on the other hand is a talk show host who can't keep sponsors is accused of running a prostitute ring out of his apartment ? i think it was . and in my opinion probably like little boys instead of full grown men or women but thats just my opinion !
Yeah, I'll bet he crying all the way to the bank. What a mess.
I must have missed something.
Please elucidate the "mess he made for himself".
I haven't been able to follow the facts in his case, care to update me on what has been happening? What happened about that babe who said she purchased thousands of pills for him and what about that accusation he was withdrawing tens of thousands of dollars in cash from that bank? Whatever happened with that?
Only with a very few of you hypercritical folks!!!
