Rush had ( has ) resources he could call upon that would have allowed him to break the habit whenever he chose. He could have built studio facilities anywhere in the world and had complete privacy for as long as he needed, while still doing his show. His loss would have been his golf and his social interaction.
His criminal suppliers supposedly kept his secret for years - do you think he could not have found legitimate doctors who would have done the same ?

I don't know. I don't care. What Rush does is none of my business.

So, what you are saying is that Rush is a dangerous criminal and should be locked up in prison just like Tommy Chong?

Or...Should we let him off the hook because he's rich and likeable?

Or...Should we scrap the Constitution and Bill of Rights because Rush has a personal problem?
