I like Rush. I have not commented about his problem until now. Rush is a very smart man. He should have been smarted enough to know that if he did anything illegal, he would be caught. We were told he was in pain, and he had an addiction. But we also now know he recently went through a treatment program. Did it work? We assume so, but we do not know for sure. But we will assume it did. So why didn't do this before he was caught?

The one big difference between "conservatives" and "liberals" is we expect our side to be honest, and if not honest at least when caught "be a man" and face the consequences.

This is harsh, but there is no one to blame for the situation Rush finds himself in, other then Rush.

The man is smart.

The man knew what he was doing was wrong (legally)

There were treatment facilities available to assist him over the problem

He had enough money to get the needed treatment.

I am afraid this will in time bring Rush down.

After a lot of thought, the choice was to betray what I believe in and support Rush regardless of what he had done (as the loyal Clinton followers have done), or allow Rush to face consequences of his own making.

Is Hillary behind this, I don’t know, and beside that sounds too much like “vast right wing conspiracy.”

It is much easier being a liberal. It is much easier to go with the flow, do what feels good, do not be judgmental. It is harder to have morals, to know right from wrong, and to strive to do “right”. Rush held himself up as a moral man, and failed to live up to his own standards.

Do I want to see Rush punished? No.

Will I man the barricades to defend him, sadly, also no.

Rush is already mortally wounded. He is still fighting the good fight, but I don’t think he will ever be as effective as he was in the past. The king is dead, long live the king.

I am sorry Rush, but you really let us down.

Regardless of possible charges/convictions--

Your post is correct. He's very intelligent. Furthermore, he's informative (at least in the first hour) and has a good sense of humor. In addition, he's been right a lot of the time, on the issues.

So WHAT if he's an addict? This is not any different from alcohol, except for price and the method of obtaining it...and there have been a lotta alcoholics who were brilliant, good at their jobs, etc., etc.

When the show's quality deteriorates, or when he ceases to be an acutlely observant commentator, that's when I will quit listening.

You go on to find Perfection (hint: He died, rose, and left around 2000 years ago. Doesn't do radio...)
