Could be a 15-year mandatory minimum. Isn't that insane? Wish Rush thought so before he got into this mess.

Formatted: You guys have done it now. I have very contentedly been a lurker since the 2000 election. I have felt like this was my other home but some members are posting comments about Rush that make's me think this site has been taken over by Move On.com.

1)What ever happened to innocent till proven guilty. Rush is being tried and convicted in the mainstream press and being beaten up on like a yellow dog and all I see from loads of you guys is the same.

2)Rush is the father of the Conservative Voice in the media. Of course he has an ego the size of a whale. He has been in the front taking the arrows for all of you guys for 15 years. He has whole books written about what an idiot he is. He has had his every word analyzed and commented on for years.It takes a huge ego to tolerate on onslaught from every source on a daily basis. A lesser man would have crawled off and cried like John Kerry.

3)The speculation on this drug business is outrageous. Some of you folks have a wealth of ignorance. My job is in poison information, I spend 36 hrs a week actively exposed. I know drugs and I talk to druggies every day. Rush is no druggie. Yes people can walk around and function very well with staggering amts of morphine in them. The secret is pain control. The correct level brings pain control and functionality not euphoria. Euphoria is the goal of the druggies but with it comes failure of lucid thought.

In spite of what your opinion of Rush is, he is always lucid. His responses are tight, coherent and his memory for obscure detail is phenemonal. Drug abusers are obcessive to the max. Rush could not engage in the massive news reading effort required to prepare for each show if he were in the clutches of drug addiction. I have seen people sell their children to get the money for their fix, and although Rush has tons of cash to buy what he wants, His priority is his show. It is inconsistent

4)10 grams of acetamenaphen im 24 hrs is a lethal dose period , end of story. Even doses under 10 gms on a daily basis can cause significant damage to your liver. You don't live without a liver. Oxycontin is a strong synthetic opiate. It is very addictive. It is also extremely easy to make a lethal error on. We are talking respiratory depression and death here folks.A purchase 44000 tabs in 6 months is 244 tabs a day. Nobody survives a dose of 10% of that. 3 tabs a day of a drug that has an 8 hr half life is junkie heaven. That is a 81 year supply. Doesn't the volume of pills here make you question the story. It is exaggeration to the point of being farce.

4)Of course Rush isn't talking about this. No flat denials or anything like that. He is in one hell of a huge mess. Think about this little legal disaster. I known drug dealer as his housekeeper with full access to his home, maybe even when no one was in residence. Housekeepers usually have keys. She could have been dealing from his home. She could have stashed anything in there. Rush will have to go through every room taking switch plates off, checking air vents. Checking under every drawer, every piece of furniture, every hollow closet bar, every cavity even conceivable in his $24 Million dollar house is a potential drug cache. Disgruntled employee that is a drug dealer. Jesus that is a nightmare beyond conception. If he is the legal owner, he is responsible. He is responsible for everything that happens in that house.

5)The housekeeper was in his house. Why would there need to be a drug hand off out his Mercedes window in Denny's. Wouldn't it make one hell of a lot more sence to have her bring it to work with her. This is a complete violation of logic.

6) He kept his pills under the mattress. Refer to #1 above. This is compulsive disorganized behavior. Rush does not display disorganized behavior. This is also not logical. How many safes would you have in a $24 M house. At least one, Rush could have his cash safe, his drug safe, his Golden Eib microphone safe. Again under the mattress is not logical

7)Rush is Mr Computer savy. He knows about computer forensics. Why would anything about his drug use/acquisition be on the computer. Wouldn't it have been easier to just ask her while she was in the house. Again this is not logical. In reference to #4 above, Ms Cline could have planted it. Sure will be intresting to see if the Emails purportedly from him match his syntax or her syntax.

8)The oblique reference to "an attorney showing up with $100K" with the implication that this was hush money, and then the second visit with the admonition to not "sell Rush any more drugs". If there is any truth in the event at all , what would be more credible is that it was a democratic operative paying for setting Rush up. Drug dealer working for Rush would be scandal enough but drug dealer working for Rush that plants drugs in Rush's house so that when it was raided they knew exactly what toilet tank to look in would be so much more wonderful. Could discredit the entire conservative movement. Think they wouldn't do it. Look at Florida 2000, Look at New Jersey 2002. Look at Hill/bill. Homicide is within the realm of possibility

6)For those of you that have suggested that Rush was covering for Marta, You need to go stand in front of a mirror and slap yourselves repeatedly. This is total unsubstantiated character assissination. There is simply no excuse acceptable.

7)Rush has been in drug rehab twice. Just when do you suppose this has taken place. There has been suggestions that It was when/instead of his ear surgery.Problem is his Doctor agreed to be interviewed. The news was full of the technology, the technique. It was all very public. If Rush had enough money to buy a Md for a very public lie like that why couldn't he buy a doctor to get his scripts for drugs. Rush is a very public person, He takes public vacations. He is seen on golf courses with other people, He attends exclusive dream locations. He is always seen. When did these secret confinments for drug dry out take place. He can document his location damn near every day, and what's more so can other people

8)I have a bridge that bidding starts on very soon. I expect offers from many of you. If you are stupid enough to buy a story like this without even questioning that it is a set designed to destroy every conservative spokes person then you must change your party affiliation immediately. ------------------------------------------------------------------------

You have been thinking about this -- good points. I had arrived at many; I had not thought of the maid having a stash in his mansion. Good thinking.
