Can't be left out of this thread.

The telling tell is just how orgasmic the Elite Media are at the possibilities. They are not even trying to hide their jubilation.

I think the allegations against Rush are likely way overblown, but may contain at least some grain of truth.

Check out this Free Republic thead from 9/2/99: WHO ELSE IS CONCERNED ABOUT RUSH SLURRING WORDS?

And that wasn't the only such discussion; I remember several from back then, and it wasn't a one-day occurrence. Plus I heard it myself and noticed that his voice wasn't normal -- it definitely had a "slurred" quality to it, like he was half asleep. It was different from his speech problems later, which were caused by his deafness, they had a very different quality to them. I work with a deaf person, and my wife has often taken painkillers due to chronic health problems, so I'm familiar with the difference between the type of speech modifications that occur because you can't "monitor" your own voice, and the kind that arise because you're sleepy or medicated/sedated.

Addicts have no problem with denying their drug use or drug problem. They are practiced, skillful and professional performers that can lie very convincingly. They are also skilled and practiced victims that have no problem portraying their victimology for the maxim effect. Rush may well be caught up in a drug investigation and might have obtained some drugs from these people in some misguided fashion that was illegal, but Rush does not portray any signs of a "drug problem" or drug abuse.

Put your money on Rush as having the last word on this subject. I hope the Democratic/Clinton smear machine gets what it has coming to it.
