[history]
Somewhere in a parallel universe, where we are the same people but things have happened in slightly differently ways, Rush Limbaugh greets his loyal listeners this morning.
"Lots to talk about today. You all know already that Bill Clinton, our former president, has admitted an addiction to prescription drugs.

Exactly right, Clinton had a nose like a Hoover. That's why he had a huge red nose all the time. He was a cocaine addict.

What is DU? And why would you ask me a stupid question like that?
To: americanmale
Actually this is a bullseye on pointing out the central hypocrisy Rush needs to face in reconciling his pro-drugwar stance with his own behavior.

The guy obviously listens to the show. His "impression" is pretty accurate.

What does Clinton's cocaine addiction have to do with Limbaugh's pill addiction?

Welcome to Free Republic.
I believe the difference in Clinton and Rush, is that one was a President of the United States in whom we had lost all faith, and the other is an entertainer / editorialist / newsman who many of us have come to trust. MOST of us can understand the failings of a friend, but not the repeated lies of a politician.

Pure fantasy. Clinton would never have taken personal responsibility and would somehow have used his addiction as an excuse to expand the size and scope of the federal gov't.

Instead of attacking the messenger, consider the message. He is DEAD ON.
If this were anyone BUT Rush, you would condemn him. Rush has ALLEGEDLY purchased 30,000 pills (works out to ~80/day for every single day of a year). So, if he can't account for these ALLEGED pills, he is not only a user, but a distributor.
Rush espoused harsh treatment of users and pushers alike, in both of his books; as well as on the air. Now, caught in the trap himself, he seeks to be blameless. He should be treated like any other first time offender, no more, no less.

To: americanmale
What your post doesn't take into account is the pre-established credibility of both parties.
The situation you describe would never happen... because since you kept people "who they are" in this alternate universe, we ergo know that Clinton wouldn't EVER have said "I don't blame anyone else, I take full responsibility" anyway. He would've said "I didn't swallow the pills." He would've said "It's all a vast right wing conspiracy." He would've said "I never took drugs from that housekeeper."
Clinton didn't take responsibility for anything he did in his 8 years in office or anytime since without loudly denying it at least once first. Rush may not have volunteered any information, but he didn't lie about a thing either, not even in his "deer in the headlights moment" when this story first broke, while the McNabb thing was still going hot.
Clinton STILL never answered rape charges. He's STILL not answered any questions regarding the facts in "Losing Bin Laden" or any of his other failures to stop 9/11. He STILL hasn't answered any questions about his continuous meetings with Enron. He STILL hasn't answered any questions about Chinagate (and burst blood vessels when a reporter dared ask him about it). He STILL hasn't made an accounting for FileGate.
No, unless you're also changing the physical laws of the universe, there's no way Clinton can remain "who he is" and have handled the situation with as much class as Rush did.
"I didn't inhale".... if that doesn't demonstrate that unequivocally to you, nothing will.
