I wonder: If this drug allegation was not about to come up would Rush would have quietly resigned from ESPN?

One thing that has been mentioned in multiple other threads is that Rush would not be able to do his show so well if he was strung out on oxycontin.

That is especially true if you are starting out with a hearing deficit. Although the cochlear implant is a vast improvement for him, he still has a hearing deficit as compared to someone his age with normal hearing.

Anytime you have a physicial deficit, it becomes embellished with illness or intoxication. However, he has been as sharp as a tack ever since he had that implant.

Lots of alcoholics are great employees. Rush could manage a drug addiction. He also has a compulsive history of smoking an eating that puts such behavior at a high risk.

On the flip side he has shown the ability to excercise extreme control and would be tough to think he would stay hooked for any length of time even if he got hooked.

I take the position vis a vis Lincoln and Grant. When some complained that General Grant, while being an excellent General, was drinking too much Lincoln replied if this is so maybe we should find out what he's drinking and send it to all the other generals.
