The harassment of Mr. Limbaugh provides another unlovely glimpse into the workings of the liberal elites.

I just love Bob Tyrrell's work. I've read all his books. However, I have to disagree with him here. Part of being a target of the left or right is to avoid giving them the rope to hang you. Clinton made that mistake and now Rush is. Can anyone say that an accusation of BREAKING the law is anyway less offensive than an accusation of lying under oath? Be true to the law and it will never let you down.

No one disputes he suffered this pain. No one I have encountered claims he was taking the prescription medication OxyContin for kicks. If he were, I am told there are superior drugs pursuant to kicks.

I heard Rush, himself, say that he took drugs because he liked them.

Mr Tyrrell asserts:

The harassment of Mr. Limbaugh provides another unlovely glimpse into the workings of the liberal elites.

While he acknowledges that the leftist ACLU has come to Rush's aid.

...American Civil Liberties Union has filed a legal brief on behalf of Mr. Limbaugh.

Good thing this didn't come to light during Reno's tenure as AG. Look what she did to Elian Gonzalez and the folks at Mt. Carmel when she had disagreements about their lifestyle.

The question I want answered is "How can the charges against Rush Limbaugh be justified if there were not similar charges agains Matthew Perry (Friends' Chandler), who, I believe, was abusing the same prescription drugs?"

"But would Thomas Jefferson, for instance, have anticipated that a journalist's fellow communicators would remain silent while one of their own was being threatened with jail?"

Excuse me but I understand from Rush that he is an entertainer and his program is entertainment. Rush has taken great pains in the past to say he is not a journalist but an entertainer. The author lost me on this point.

The Rush thing is way too political right now. Spin like this makes Rush look real bad. It looks too much like Rush is trying to spin his way out of something. I've asked before, what does Rush have to hide?

From the article: "It is worse than that, which is presumably why the American Civil Liberties Union has filed a legal brief on behalf of Mr. Limbaugh."

Wow. I never thought I'd see the day when the ACLU did anything on behalf of Rush. Mind bending.

[Mr. Jeeves]

What is surprising is the quietude of the conservative press. Why is it not hollering from its syndicated columns, its intellectual reviews, its handful of newspapers and the Fox News?

Because whatever the truth of the criminal allegations against him, Rush has come off looking like a grade-A hypocrite. His years and years of on-air criticism and condescension toward drug abusers make it very difficult for anyone to defend his own drug abuse.

The unfortunate downside of this is that liberal prosecutors are free to carry out their vendetta against him without fear of media criticism, even from Fox News.

I was thinking about the dissimilar treatment that Michael Jackson has received for his long term addiction to pain medication.

How about that Donovan McNab performance in the Super Bowl ?
