so Mr. Limbaugh, have you stopped beating your wife yet?

The Slimers have made their mark, whether Rush used non-prescribed opiates or not, this will follow him forever.

The slimers have made their mark? I highly doubt this. I think once this blows over nothing will have changed. The people who support Rush will continue to support him and those who don't won't. If the Libs can support bloated load mouth lying alcoholics and former Klansmen, I have no problem supporting a perscription drug addict...especially one who makes a career of getting under the skin of rabid liberals.

I would update that old saw for the current situation:

So, Mr. Limbaugh, is it true you weren't high on drugs when you did your show on Friday?

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.

The number of celebrities who have been addicted to these kinds of pills and had it forgiven and forgotten by the public is extensive.

Elvis was not only addicted by died from pills yet continues to be one of the most revered icons in America.

If this is all that "will follow him forever", Rush has few problems.

Like Hell it will...It came during election season, most likely from the Gray Davis-Clinton-McAwful team because just attacking Arnold in California hasn't been at all successful & they felt the need to do a full sewage-slinging attack on anyone GOP/Conservative.

Or perhaps groping some woman 30 years ago?
