gore3000 nailed it.

solitas, you are wrong, vengeful and are going to have your fall someday. I hope that your friends are of better spirit than you.

Rush is my friend, though I have never met him, and you should not feel superior because he has a problem. You have not gone up a notch.

Right - it was his decision. No one's trying to ruin his life BUT if someone persists in self-destructive action (i.e. losing one's hearing through drug misuse) then WHY should anyone ELSE have to help PAY for it? I'm the same way about helmet laws: they're safety equipment and if you choose not to utilize one you shouldn't have insurance pay for expenses that could have been avoided by your wearing one. I'm not a rush hater - far from it. Most of what he says on his show is good - I'm just not a sycophant who believes his every word be it right or wrong. MAYBE he was addicted by his doctor - no one knows for-sure yet HOW he got the pills; the housekeeper's evidence is probably still being analyzed. I wasn't aware that any bureaucrats were involved in the investigation.

I don't consider myself vengeful. If what happened was because of his physician's neglect of his condition and an honest dependency/addiction then he deserves help and sympathy. OTOH if he was privately scoring pills on his own and his physician did not know what was going on because limbaugh was keeping it from him then he brought it all on himself and deserves consequences and prosecution.

BTW, where was his WIFE during all this? Did she have any clue as to his 'pain' and his condition, or notice him "in a drug-impared state" on or off the air (he has a studio at home, no?)? Was she helping get the pills (not accusing her, just wondering if she'll show-up in the housekeeper's evidence too)?

No one knows the whole story yet , the evidence is still being accumulated and investigated, he HAS at least partially come-clean about his addiction but still hasn't said a whole lot about where the meds came from (and AFAIK no one has come forward with evidence or testimony supporting him as of yet), and I am offended by your assertion that I feel superior because he has a problem.

Go have your own fall, go worry about your own friends' spirits, and go notch yourself. :)

I'm gonna have my fall when summer ends.

Oh wait. That's right. I'm in the South now. We don't have seasons.
