The next day in the laundry room of Limbaugh's $24 million mansion, he asked his $370-a-week housekeeper for more pills, Wilma Cline told the tabloid. Soon, she said, the couple was supplying Limbaugh with 80 pills a month.

If Rush were smart, his housekeeper would be making twice as much a week. But this would be against his free market ideology, I suppose.

If Rush were smart, he would not have approached his housekeeper about access to painkillers. So let's see what he has to say about the matter.

I don't know. Works out to $9.25 and hour, which sounds about right for unskilled labor. Is she a full-time housekeeper, i.e., forty hours a week, or does she supplement with other income?

[Cacophonous]

Also, if she's full-time, does she live there so that room and board are part of her compensation?

My Conservative beliefs do not depend on one person.
 

They were already 'present and formed' before Rush.....

.....they will remain unchanged even if he passes.

Yesterday, Shep Smith on Fox reported that long term OxyContin use can lead to hearing loss. I have done a Google search to find if this is true. Is there a doctor in the house??

What is wrong with you? What Rush paid his maid is NOT the issue here.

Try and focus on the fact that we have a coordinated media attack on everybody and everything conservative right now.

Aren't the implications of that fact a little more important than what agreement a radio talk show host had with his housecleaner? America may be a lot closer to tyranny than we want to admit if the media can control us in that way.

To me, this issue is even more important than whether or not Rush really did have an addiction problem.

Excuse me: He's paying a woman $20,000 to clean his sinks and toilets, which makes her perhaps the highest paid cleaning woman in America. Furthermore, I doubt very much that his house is the only one she cleans. A job is worth what it is worth to an employer - not to an employee. It's one thing to criticize outsourcing (a problem created by Government, not business), but entirely another to pick on the wages paid by Americans to low-skilled employees - wages which virtually anywhere else on the planet would make them rich.

If we were smart we wouldn't be reacting to this hit piece on Rush. Just because the attorney leaks little bits and pieces of the so called evidence does NOT mean any of it is true.

I'll wait for some official verified information before I'll believe the attorney for drug dealers.

[harpseal]

I do not know what he paid her but then again I do not know who to believe in this story.
