When his voice got messed up.. Vicodin can do that to you too.

[GeronL]

100 pills a day? a dealer informing on a user? a multi-millionaire getting drugs from a housekeeper?

[Reagan Man]

>>>The House Clinic is the finest hearing clinic in the world and I can't imagine they'd jeopardize their reputation. Something isn't right here.

Absolutely right.

I don't think Rush would place his entire future on the line , with a chance of going to jail. This isn't right, anyway you cut it. The man is worth at least $200 million. No one with Rush`s open intellect and public stature could be that destructive. Hmmm.

[GeronL]

I am betting that anyone could sign up for a free e-mail address, RushLimbaugh213@yahoo.com or something

" This may be a big part of the reason that Rush quit ESPN.

This could do his radio program in as well if radio stations decide to drop it.

Don't kid yourself, this is a serious hit."

The involvement of the State's Attorneys Office and the potential tape and e mail trail,plus a cooperating witness could be devastating .This isn't just an embarrassing gossip story- Rush appears to be in enormous legal trouble.He could survive the ESPN mess,but,I don't see how he gets past this.

[Lancey Howard]

I forget - - isn't David Kendall the lead attorney for the National Enquirer?

[pete anderson]

no one can eat that many pain killers and lose weight. If this were true Rush would look like Elvis.

[Lurkd Long Enough]

But on the airwaves he's the same sharp thinker he's always been?

I have to disagree. What he said on Sunday about McNabb wasn't the wisest comment he's ever made.

[Timesink]

The cover:

Somebody asked earlier in the thread, too. I don't know. If he was, is he still?

[CyberAnt]

Well .. since Rush lives in Florida, and that's where the 2000 election was such a mess .. I would surmise there were lots of people available to set up such a scheme. I smell the Clintons fingerprints all over this.

I knew the liberals were desperate but I think I underestimated them.

[WhistlingPastTheGraveyard]

The anti-Rush media blitz that Drudge mentioned is a full-on anti-GOP blitz that's ensnaring Schwarzenegger tonight as well with the LA Times hit piece.

Don't forget the conveniently timed "leak" story against the President.

Why does this feel like a war?

[jd777]

Seriously, people describe George Bush as being a very heavy drinker...who got sober. And he's a better man for it. Certainly, the depth of character he has came from that experience. Why should it be different for Rush? If this is true (which it probably is because Rush could sue them out of existence if it wasn't. And they know that), Rush should cop to it. He should find God and clean house.

[GeronL]

It is very possible that this is a frame-up. I want to hear what Rush has to say about it before I'd believe it.

[Pro-Bush]

Can't you read? I said "if this is true".

Good grief!!

[Lurkd Long Enough]

I don't get the thing about being snared in a pill ring.

[Fledermaus]

Come on...no human could even get out of bed taking 97 of these type of pills a day.

And skidrow druggies are usually crack and heroin addicts.

[Hildy]

This beckons a question: Where the hell was she getting all these pills???

[TrappedInLiberalHell]

I thought the same thing -- see my post #31. Glad to know I'm not a subconscious pervert (well, not the only one, anyway).

[Thorondir]

What a crock of steaming cow dung....

It's time the DNC smear machine is confronted and eliminated once and for all.

You got that right. the filthy stinking commie libs will stop at nothing. Laws and decency mean absolutely nothing to them.

Liberalism so often wins because of its essentially satanic glamour, which appeals to and propagates all that is weak, broken and ugly in mankind:
If you are lazy, it offers a handout.
If you are stupid, it dumbs down your competition.
If you are worthless, it offers (false) self-esteem.
If you are confused, it says that certainty is the REAL confusion.
If you are evil, it offers a denial of guilt.
If you are a liar, it offers a denial of the existence of truth.
If you are a homosexual, it calls your sickness normal and healthy.
If you are a pornographer, it calls your filthy exploitation freedom of speech.
If you are a slave to sin, it names your shackles, FREEDOM.
If you are a coward, it offers its own false security.



Liberalism must be crushed!
The idea is catching on.
