"Wow, that was the first post all day that actually pissed me off!! "

Thank you very, very much.

Wouldn't "hypocrite" mean that Rush thinks illegally obtaining drugs is OK for him, but not for others? Knowing Rush's views from his show, I would assume that his behavior IS NOT OK WITH HIM. I am sure that he is feeling worse about himself being in this situation than any of his detractors.

I am sure that he does not wish for special treatment and that he reserves the harshest judgement for himself at this point. He is not proud to have ended up an illegal drug abuser.

Therefore, cries of hypocrisy are inappropriate. Rush never thought drug abusers were cool, nor does he think his own behavior is hunky-dory. It's all wrong. It all comes from taking a wrong turn on a moral path. Rush made that wrong turn when he first felt himself becoming addicted to his prescription pills, and rather than go to his doctor for help in getting off them, he chose to say nothing and see how long he could keep the pleasure/relief from pain going, ignoring what he knew to be the consequences. Oh, he knew.

Hypocrisy does not apply here.
