Okay, please don't flame me. I'm honestly interested in what freepers think about this.
Ever since Rush came back from rehab and started talking about "living a lie" and "not being able to make other people happy" and all that, I've had the uneasy feeling that Rush had "discovered" something more about himself than he was letting on.
Today, listening to Rush as he talked about his empathy for McGreevy, it seemed inevitable to wonder if Rush's empathy (and, please, if you did not hear Rush's comments, realize it's difficult to assess the tone and emotion with which he delivered them) wasn't tied back to his own "living a lie" struggles.
Yes, it would be easy to think that the "lie" was his drug addiction, but . . . I'm posting this because it really seemed as though Rush might be warming up to his own bombshell (whatever that might be).
His commentary was so passionate, in a personal, not political way, that I even wondered if he was (unconsciously) seeing if he could start a thread like this, in order to see what the speculation might be and what the reaction to that speculation might be.
Who heard Rush's opening commentary on McGreevy and what was your reaction/thoughts? Thanks. I'd be interested to know.
That was before he made his resignation speech. His speech was such an obvious attempt to make us pity him that I began to see him as a calculating individual.
Imagine Mc Greevey's speech without his references to his sexual confusion. Not much left, is there?
It's like he said nothing.
No, he isn't.
He's amused by the thread. LOL
because it seems to upset you.
Listening to Rush's take on McGreevey reminded me why I left working in the drug rehab field.
Rush loves FR because we do all his research for him and he plans his program from posts herein.
I just heard Rush mention Free Republic and this post. He said he loved us and there's no bomb shell coming out about him (Rush).
RUSH............... us FREEPERS love you and we love the UNITED STATES, We support our TROOPS, and we FULLY, support President George W. Bush in 2004!
We have our EARS ON! and EYE's open.... ;) we wish you nothing but good.
Gees poll this thread
Nope, he's mentioning the first thread that was pulled.
Hey tioga, I don't know if it is common knowlege but I listen to Rush online without 24/7 access...http://www.wlsam.com/
McIdiot only needed to say two words as he walked out the door ...."I quit."
Arrrrgh! Why did you have to ruin my morning with that photo of Ms. Ghastly, but went on criticizing all RAT pols in NJ.
When Rush said he was living a lie and you can't make people happy was that he was living in a marriage from hell and the only way to get out of it was to numb himself with drugs.
Once he was sober he figured out to dump the wife and has been a heck of a lot happier.
I listened to his opening remarks. I thought they were honest and sincere and I must admit that it crossed my mind that he was about to announce that he is also gay.
"Not that there is anything wrong with that!"
Rush is laughing at all of you miserable Rush bashers. I am sorry he mentioned Freepers because I for one don't want to be associated with the likes of you. And, no he wasn't surfing FR he received an e-mail from a friend. How dare you accuse him of being gay.
Oh the outrage.
I reckon so...heck, we've got NUTJOBS on here implying--or simply stating--that El Rushbo is gay, just because he empathized with a fellow human being who's been living a lie. SHEEEESH...talk about eating our own!!
FReegards...MUD
