I keep reading that Rush should take responsibility. OK. When has Rush NOT taken responsibility? I think he has done an admirable job with the situation. But when absurdities like the prosecutor and the like come along why should Rush stick his head in the sand? How is pointing out the outlandish tactics being used against him not taking responsibility?

Rush has to fight four times the battle any ordinary citizen would just because he is Rush Limbaugh. He would be a fool not to use his power to fight back. Rush is one of the best things that has happened to America and he now needs we who have benefited from his talents and stoic backbone to stand by him.

Rush is able to articulate effectively conservatism. If he had been able to tap the anger of the left and become a leftist spokesperson, would you be providing the same defense? Jim and Tammy Baker did a lot of good with their ministry. They were still crooks.

Rush is fighting this as a Clintonista. Blaming others and not being forthright in the facts. He has said the tabloid that broke his story has been rife with errors. So far they have been mostly right and other than saying their are in error, he hasn't pointed to one substantial error. So what if there is an error or two. Even he reports that he only has a 97.5% accuracy rate (if even that). So we discount everything he says because of an error to two?

It will be interesting to have him go after the Enquirer. Because in a civil suit, both parties have wide latitude in discovery. He better be ready for more than just his medical records to be outted.

When has Rush NOT taken responsibility?

When he started screaming "persecution" instead of saying "I know I did wrong, I'll cooperate fully with the investigation" or go straight to the prosecutor for a plea bargain. It'd be hard for the prosecutor not to accept it from a non-violent, first-time offender who is otherwise clean.

Rush has to fight four times the battle any ordinary citizen would just because he is Rush Limbaugh.

He also has a thousand times the resources of the ordinary citizen to fight it. By the math, it looks like he has it easy.
