More piling on. I remember one lib who said that Rush's hearing loss was a fraud (but then it was used as "proof" of his addiction since it reportedly can be one sympton of oxycotin addiction). I can't recall which lib it was but I think that it was Bill Maher or Micheal Moore (who made similar claims about Charlton Heston's Alzheimer's being a hoax).
Expect NO sympathy from the natering nabobs of negativity.
