I've read through this whole thread. I understand your position. The problem with Clinton is most of us felt he was lying and it was proven. Using your assumption of vindication, Rush can say the same thing. Those who chose to believe him will and those who chose not to won't. HOWEVER, like Clinton, this will come out with him either being vindicated or not.
For now what does he have to lose? Those who believe he's done something wrong believe it, those who don't believe it don't. He's in the same situation, except that if he makes a clear statement of innocense and is vindicated as you claim he will be, then he's taken the moral high ground with absolute certainty of his position. If he plays legal manuevers and obtains legal vindication, then he only plays into the hands of those who say that he bought justice.

"
I've never look to Rush for moral guidance. He has a good show and he is a good showman. When his show gets tedious I turn it off just I do any other show."
What are you trying to do?
Be rational and normal?
You've got a lot of noive!

The Slimers have made their mark, whether Rush used non-prescribed opiates or not, this will follow him forever.Not necessarily. Do your remember the allegations about 10 years ago about Rush using drugs? I recall the program back then where he dealt with this. He admitted that he went through a period of depression a few years before that. He got professional help with the condition. Part of the treatment was a prescribed anti-depressant drug. He dealt honestly with the story and it just went away. I doubt that many even remember this.
Do you also remember the accusations back then when Rush was accused of molesting boys? He dealted with the issue on the air. He said it simply wasn't true and the story died. Again, I doubt that many people remember the accusation.
Could Rush have been taking medication for his ear problem? I think it possible. He will disclose the truth when it is the proper time to do so. Whatever the truth, Rush will deal with it honestly and with class. His fans will go on listening to him. His detractors will believe what they want to believe, and it won't make any difference in the long run.

I think so much speculation is a waste of time. Surely there are things the public doesn't know yet that would influence what Rush says or doesn't say.
I trust Rush. I have compassion for his personal problems, whatever they are. I know he's basically an honest man, trying to make the world a better place.
Besides, I believe the liberals ultimately self-destruct. What we're seeing is a last-ditch desperate attempt to destroy goodness and truth. We know goodness wins in the end. (See Revelation)
Thank God for Rush Limbaugh! Evil schemes will backfire, always have and always will.

My argument was not that Rush should or should not state he is innocent or guilty.
My argument is that "wakycat" and others state they [key word] would think he is innocent/guilty based on that [Rush's] statement.
The Clinton example was just that. An example proving that statements of guilt or innocence by anyone are meaningless.
There are no guilty persons in Jail. Just ask them.

You got to admit this bunch had their ducks in a row to pull this all off at the same time! Would not be a Vast Left Wing Conspiracy now would it ?
One thing about the Progressive dimwits is that they telegraph some of their moves. IE - They accussed Arnolds campaign of attempting to sabatoge a Gray Davis gathering 1 to 2 nights prior to the releaze of their 'Mother of All Slime Attacks'. The reason they did this was two fold. First they had to convince their media minions (mind numbed leftist robots) that attacking Arnold was the 'right' thing to do. So they pushed through a false accusation of Arnold's campaign doing dirty tricks. This allowed the leftist media minions to justify to themselves that being a whore for the Mother of All Slime Attacks was okay. The second reason they did the flase Arnold Dirty Tricks charge is that somewere deep down in some of their abused souls, there is a little tiny amount of moral justice still remaining
To: JoeSchem
It sounds like this whole incident is fairy fluff as far as accusing Rush is concerned. In the future, Rush, if you need a trustworthy housekeeper, try illegal immigrants from Mexico.At first I was thinking to myself, "Didn't Rush do a background check?" and now I wonder -- did he hire Wilma because he knew she wasn't an illegal immigrant?

Thank you. A much clearer amplification of your point.
To: icwhatudo
Just curious, does anyone REALLY think he didn't do it? I think it's possible. Either way I wouldn't be shocked --- I think the democrats are low enough to try to make up something completely false. But I also know it's not at all unusual for doctors to prescribe painkillers that are quite addicting and people inadvertantly become addicted without ever intending to do so.

He admitted that he went through a period of depression a few years before that. He got professional help with the condition. Part of the treatment was a prescribed anti-depressant drug. Pill popping is such a common problem in our society and maybe in all ---- it's not a real issue. It might open our eyes a little to how easily anyone can become addicted to chemicals and make everyone a little more leery about prescriped medicines they take which they think are safe because their doctor first introduced them.

But it does appear according to the stories that he has rehabbed twice. That would raise a red flag from Doctor's issuing him those types of medications. Unless, of course he lied on his physicians forms.

Don't kid yourself. Lots of kidding around here these days....reminds me of the Lott Affair....I was on the heretic side then too. Good luck!

Buying 11,000 narcotic pills is a serious matter if one is caught buying them in a sting. If the DEA busted you or I with 11,000 narcotic pills either in our possession or over a series of buys, we would be looking at intent and the possibility of mandatory jail time with no parole....first time offender or not.

let's be real....no one here cares a lick if Rush or any other celebrity uses, or used drugs.....
If they aren't driving who cares........
This was a hatchet job on Rush and it, like all the other democrat lies, will go away of it own weight.....
