Maybe he takes Viagra .... the left would leak this out in an attempt to humiliate him.
Maybe he's seen a psychiatrist --- he's had times in his life when he's been under extreem pressure...The left would love to leak something like that.
Maybe his deafness is a result of his abuse of the painkillers, and not the result of an auto-immune problem like Rush has claimed in the past..... the left would love to leak that tid-bit.
"Maybe his deafness is a result of his abuse of the painkillers,..."
