"IT'S A FREAKIN' SPORTS SHOW----Get a grip."

Huh? I've got a grip, thanks :). You and I know it's a sports show, the media know they've got a big left-wing P.R. victory they're spinning here.

I'm starting to think the Dems have misread the calendar...it's only October 2003 and they are starting the dirty tricks.

I can't wait for October 2004.

Hey, good point. If there is an ongoing investigation, why would she be talking to the Enquirer? Wouldn't that jeopardize the investigation?

My husband is a medical doctor and I've just awakened the him to get his opinion:

"You woke me for this? Use your head. 4,000 and some odd pills in a 47 day period, and you would be reading his obit, not some salacious news article."

[Texasforever]

Just asking questions.

[ApesForEvolution]

Praise God. I looked back and didn't even realize it made sense. That was His post, not mine.

[Pro-Bush]

I compare you to Barbara Boxer defending Clinton in the Monica scandal.

Love it. Thanks for waking him up, and thank him in the morning! :)

[Howlin]

Very well done.

[Fledermaus]

Well, to be precise, it didn't say he took that many in 47 days. Maybe he was stocking up! LOL

This is such BS. Unless Rush surprises us again and says it's true after being fired from ESPN, which I doubt.

[teletech]

Rush is about to find out who his friends are

Yes he is! The RATS attacked Rush because they fear Rush. Simple as that. They have had this information how long now? Why now? Why not when they first uncovered this info. I tend to believe this is a LIE because the RATS would have used this info the moment they got it. Something doesn't ring true here.

Disney only drug tests its employees upon hiring. After that, never again.

Well, it so happens, as you probably know, that ESPN is owned by Disney. Therefore, Rush would have had a drug test a few weeks ago. As far as I can tell, he showed no detox symptoms before that time. So, either he continued to take drugs even though he knew he'd be tested, or he didn't take the drugs at all.

[lora_one]

AMEN! AMEN!!!!!! U got it !!!!!!!!

[Pegita]

I'm on the same page with you regarding the Clinton ambition to return to the White House ... but Cline's statement says more than Rush is involved:

"Cline told the Enquirer she went to prosecutors with information about Limbaugh AND OTHERS after four years of drug deals that included clandestine handoffs in a Denny's parking lot."

The "and others" ... ???

[Hildy]

Hey, GOPrincess...my hubby's sleeping too...what do you think they think we do on the computer all night????

[ApesForEvolution]

Howlin:

I never considered believing one word of it.

Rush may not be one of my favorite people, but he's no drugger.

And I never believe a word Drudge says regarding stuff like this.

It was still a stupid thing for Rush to say.

>>>>>

You would request me to 'bite you' as you affirm my suspicion (once again, you're truly a classic) that you are, as you always have been (has been?) a Rush basher, even on this thread?

Bite me? How about a 'sit and spin' with a 'doe-see-dough' Howler??

[GOPrincess]

Do you know for a fact that ESPN/Disney demands a drug test of everyone on the air? Are there any contracts for big-name talent that get around it? Very interesting angle.

[onyx]

LOL! I can only hope he'll speak to me in the morning!

[lainie]

Who is that?

[Rokurota]

And I never believe a word Drudge says regarding stuff like this.

Is Drudge saying anything? He's just passing the story along.
