[Senator Pardek]

I haven't started a thread in about two years.

[wimpycat]

Yes, that's what I meant. I certainly didn't mean YOU were the troll. I apologize if it was unclear.

[Howlin]

What on earth are you talking about?

[dogbyte12]

Ya take 1 xanax at extremely low dosage for anxiety every 4 hours, for 5 years and you have used 10,000 pills. You would barely get a buzz off it.

[arasina]

Hmmm. I took a quick look around and didn't see anything about Rush at the NY Daily News either. However, I did see a POLL with the simple question: "Is Laura Bush a good First Lady?" 72% Yes 28% No. (of course I voted) And in their "Daily Dish" gossip:

Gore close to cable buy
Call him Al Gore, media baron. The former vice president is close to striking a $70 million deal to acquire Newsworld International, a tiny cable network owned by Vivendi Universal, media sources said.

I wonder if Al Franken filled in as Rush's housekeeper for a day.

Read the title on Drudge .. it says Drug Ring

There is a huge difference between addicted to pain killers and being involved in a drug ring

Like I said ... this smells

[Mo1]

EXACTLY!

He would never be able to do his show if he did that many drugs

[Porterville]

Can you imagine, having your leadship sooo desperate that they'd try to knock out a political commentator who recently had ear surgery??? Is this all they can stick their claws too??? Can you imagine the Republican machine going after that ballheaded fag from Louisana?? Or his side kick the Forehead??? How lame has the Democrats become?? Their leader Clinton gave microchip technology to the Chinese that can kill all the citizens of the USA, the Republican leadership has a guy, who is a commentator, who recently had intensive surgery taking pain killers..

PLEASE!!! Has the world turned upside down?? Is this Wonderland, am I through the looking glass???

[JohnnyZ]

BUT...Rush stepped right into it this time with his comments

The ones alleging that sportswriters based their hype of a player partially on race?

I guess you just can't call anyone prejudiced anymore . . .

[Endeavor]

Uh, yeah, I made that connection. My point was that even if it was someone who worked at the Enquirer, it would've had to be someone that knew what Drudge was gonna do. Or maybe what the NY Daily News was gonna do. Maybe it was Scooter Libby. I'm sure Karl Rove is behind this, somehow. /sarcasm

[clintonh8r]

how about...

GORE CLOSE TO CABLE GUY

[Howlin]

I haven't started a thread in about two years.

You say that every single time you start a thread.

[Pegita]

The "pill story" is no longer posted on Drudge ...

[Captain Peter Blood]

Okay I have just checked the National Enquirer website and there is no story on Rush. At least not yet. May have to wait till tomorrow to see if this is really for real or another hoax. Here is is the web link:

[Hildy]

Not really. If you took 10 pills a day ... that's 2 every three to four hours or so... over the course of years you would have knocked down 10's of thousands.

[hemogoblin]

Here come the Saddamocrats!

[dogbyte12]

What does "Drug Ring" mean though?

He has no financial need to sell drugs. It could just mean that he took pills for an injury, and had a few people who hooked him up.

Again, headlines even when nominally true, often don't jibe with the true facts in a case.

[Tamzee]

Thanks... a great read and I agree :-)

[Mo1]

I just checked .. it's still there .. butit's no longer in red

[Hildy]

I'm not saying he didn't have the right to say it. But he had to expect the fallout he's getting now. That's all I'm saying.

[lara]

You really think so? I heard they told him that they didn't approve of what he said, but didn't ask him to apologize.
I wonder how many viewers they'd lose if they did fire him.
