A lot of crap in the article for sure but the last line rings true: "Maybe this will soften up Rush Limbaugh a bit when he talks on the radio about the millions of other Americans who are suffering from drug problems," Nadelmann said.

Rush has softened up a little bit. I notice that when he makes his famous insult of calling someone a long haired, maggot infested, dope smoking, FM type, he now leaves out the phrase, dope smoking.

I've listened to him for years and never have heard him go off on drug users. Most of the time he's talking politics, football and golf. Alas, I know I can't hear every word. I would not be surprised if he did. I'm not taking the AP's word for it.

If he did, does it make him look hypocritical? I'd say YEP. But his initial drug use was prescribed by a physician. Much different than shooting hiballs into your arm for fun.

I think anyone who has narcotics prescribed could potentially fall victim to drug abuse as he has. (See Adderall and ADD medicine for further info...)

My point of the article was not to bash or exonerate him. It was to point out the wording of the article and how it portrays a negative view of Limbaugh. It's blatant bias for a champion of a cause the writer doesn't believe in.

I can't remember the last time Rush said anything about others with drug problems.

Of course, I don't listen for 3 hours a day, everyday.
