Yeah, and the sky is falling! I don't agree with anything you said.We'll see and it won't take to long to get a pretty good indication.
I have a gut feeling that there's something to this story even though the part about how many pills he took might be exaggerated.
I'm a retired cop and this story rings true in the main.

So, tomorrows headlines:
Rush a Druggie and resigns from ESPN
Arnold gave chicks titty-twisters
North Korea continues to pump nukes
Chemical and Biological weapons intercepted to Kuwait from Iraq
What else will happen??? I'm almost afraid to go to sleep.

Nooooooooooooo ... those who use phoney scip, go from drugstore to drugstore and since he flies all over the USA, he could get the scrip filled in N.Y., Fla., and the other states he goes to. Not one clerk, would find it strange enough to " rat him out " on.
To: dinok
Interesting, but Rush will be off today.No it's not. I think you've made this stupid point more than once. He and Sean Hannity have been scheduled for months to be at some radio broadcasters shingdig.

To: Paradox
Someone hopped up on pain killers couldn't keep up Rush's schedule. I've known people that abused the stuff that Rush is being acused of taking, and there is no way he could function the way he does doing that. Now uppers on the other hand. But Rush is much to focused in his work and on his golf game to be a pill popper.
Besides he could easily find a Doctor Feelgood to prescribe him anything he needed, why would he go through a maid? Why would he trust a maid to do more than dust the china?
You know, I just can't believe what I'm reading. How can so many of you automatically believe this without one single piece of evidence? God help me if I ever find myself at the mercy of friends like you people.
To: Pukin Dog
A newspapers wouldn't publish allegations such as this, as the could be sued for libel and defamation of character. There is some strong evidence or some part of this that will immunize them from a libel lawsuit.
To: nopardons
That's my point..first she says she only gave him pills from her husband's stash...and next thing you know...she has access to thousands of pills...it's bizarre! Sounds like this lady was a dealer and in order to avoid prosecution decided to set rush up or give him up. Now, I don't doubt she got him some pills, I don't doubt that at all. If you all remember, years ago Rush talked about taking anti-depressants and he had a good experience with them. I don't know. The whole thing sucks.

Rush would have quite a winning lawsuit if there is nothing to this COVER story.

" I want to hear what Rush has to say about it before I'd believe it."
If it were just a "he said, she said" allegation,I'd be with you.But,if there is an evidence trail and it looks like there may be,Rush could be in very serious trouble. The tip off to which way things will be headed,will probably be in the way Rush handles this.If he issues a firm statement denying all the charges and returns to his show on Friday,ready to refute the allegations,that will be a positive indication. But,if he goes into seclusion with his lawyers,that could mean worse things on the horizon.
To: HAL9000
Rush is going to get huge ratings tomorrow. I believe Rush said he won't be on the air on Thursday, but will be back on Friday.
Hmmm...

How could they be guilty of libel? They're just reporting allegations. If the allegations are false that does not make the paper guilty of anything.

I don't think even the Rats can force a pain pill addiction on you.....
this is sad, shocking, but not necessarily out of the realm of possibility.....
there has always been something about Rush, and DR. Laura, and Savage and even Sean H. that lends me to believe that none of them are the saints and moral role models that they would like us to think they are....
Besides, Rush never came down very hard on moral issues....not drugs, not abortion, not infidelity, etc.....
he never wanted to touch any of the Monica stuff ( who would...you might catch germs!)....
just remember that the Hollywood crew gives standing ovations to their drugged up members.....

This is horsecrap.
I use Oxy and percocet. You generally take only two oxy's per day. The percocet is a booster of a sort.
Anymore and you stop breathing when you fall asleep.
His doctor could and would have prescribed the drugs. With his millions there would be no need to go underground.

Tell that to the NY Times. If they were brought a false story, they are covered. If their report only says that Limbaugh is under investigation, then they are covered. They are not calling Rush an addict, they are reporting an accusation. In court, Rush would lose.

the enquirer tried to get the goods on rush before he married marta and all they could come up with was they lived together and weren't married, something would've come up before now
To: lainie
The article says Cline "wore a wire" during the last two deliveries and gave the tapes to the authorities. These deliveries allegedly took place in a Denny's parking lot.
If she wore a wire, the wire would have been provided by the authorities, and there would be corresponding video also, if the authorities were doing a "sting".
It almost sounds like this maid did the sting by herself.
The most easily refuted piece in the story is that the maid said she hid the pills under the mattress to hide them from Marta. Everyone knows Rush doesn't sleep on just any mattress--he sleeps on a Select Comfort bed!
The olfactory senses recoil at this putrid mess--it stinks!

Rush Limbaugh is the one of the most important Conservatives of our lifetimes and I will stand by him no matter what.Thank you for that comment. I whole heartedly agree. Why do people expect other people to be perfect. No one is perfect.
He can beat this and come back stronger than ever. I believe he will. He certainly has the ability. I am praying for Rush and Marta and I am going to remain a loyal fan of Rush Limbaugh.
