1. Your emergency analogy is interesting but misplaced. That is covered by the a "justification" defense in most instances. But when the illegal conduct goes on and on, the imminent threat of harm disappears and is no longer excused by society.
2. They have dusted off the old quotes and printed them. I couldn't say if they are true, but I suspect they are. However, most would agree that Rush has generally taken a tough line with law breakers. I agree he doesn't speak out much on drug abuse...perhaps now we know why.
I agree that when you break the law you need a good lawyer and there is none better than Roy Black in that part of the country. That should also tell us something. Most folks go a lifetime without needing a really good criminal lawyer.
If I sound like I was moralizing it was for fun and to provoke a reaction.
Bottom line is that Rush is a admitted drug addict. If we all had a nickel for every entertainer that got hooked on pain killers for a bad back, knee, etc...... this guy is nothing special.
My point is that instead of just owning up to his behavior he is going to drag it out like Clinton. His supporters back him and his detractors will attack him and the rest of us will just listen to Tony Snow...or Prager or whoever. This unfortunately is the Clinton legacy.
Add Rush to the list of celebs that had it all and pissed it away! That's all.
And as far a heavenly accension and perfection. I lay claim to neither - I wonder if you can say the same for El Rushbo!

He owned up to it immediately and did something about it.
Those dragging it out are doing so for political purposes; either in court, in media, or on here.
