Boy, I sure hope you are right about the drug thing. I listened to his show Friday and thought he sounded like a guilty man. There was not one general denial of a drug problem or illegal activity related to drug purchases. He just said he wanted to wait until he knew what he was dealing with, and that he had not been contacted by any law enforcement agency.

Rush has hired Roy Black (of William Kennedy Smith fame) as his lawyer.

I'm certain that the first thing Black told his client is not to comment on the situation in re: drugs.

In other words, "I want to talk to my lawyer first before I talk to anyone else about it." Guilty? Probably. Degree of guilt? Unknown.

Guilty or not, Rush is doing the right thing by not trying his case in the media, unlike his accusers.

I just said it will all pass and blow over.

The likelihood is that even if he did buy on the black market for personal use, he would not be prosecuted for any crime.

This all apparently happened during his trial and tribulations with the hearing loss. IMHO, the drugs were not responsible. I use OC (oxi-contin)twice a day for some four or five years now. It does cause a ringing in the ears which is a side effect and does result in some temporary degradation of hearing, but not any damage.

It is possible that he ran out or needed some pain killers to function and got involved in this mess, but I believe the quantities and other claims are bogus as hell.

Funny. I listened to his show Friday, and thought he was a very wise man.
