As predicted, the DUmmies are going to new lows with this. They're calling dittoheads hypocrites. They are the real hypocrites.

The first time a Leftist sewer diver begins to gloat, remind them of JFK.

What of the consequenses of an off day at the microphone, compared to being hopped up on speed during the Cuban missile crisis, and being Commannder-In-Chief?

"All of us are fallible, every single one, no matter how mighty or lowly . . ."

Very true. In the end charity and mercy are very much needed. If any one of us were to be stripped bare for all the world to see how "moral" we are it would not be pretty.

Liberals are the ones who think we should just lie about it and pretend it doesn't exist. They're their ones who always seek to sugarcoat reality.

It wouldn't surprise me if the pain medications were related to the hearing loss.

Perhaps weight loss too.

I'm sure that the Enquirer's version is exaggerated to some degree.

I wonder who will be the first poster here to wonder how this affects Republican politics, etc."


I wonder who the first poster will be to do the best imitation of a hateful, mean spirited liberal who hates one of the historically great conservatives who helped save a floundering movement and kept it alive during the dark years of the Clinton adminstrtation.

I read some of Rush's quotes about drug users. Not very nice.

I'm disappointed, but not surprised.

He does have a tough row to hoe in rehab. Addiction is a great equalizer.

"Rush himself has said as much about drug users."

When referring to ILLEGAL drugs, not prescription (LEGAL) drugs.

Wonder who will be the first poster here to step on his wizzler on a thread displaying the class and professionalism of a great American?

Gee, I wonder what the amazing wissler thinks about this?

This sounds like a "stand-up" move on Rush's part -- again, he's not claiming "victim" status, and he's not looking for "admiration"... he's taking personal responsibility which is the "adult" thing to do.

We will all wait with baited breath for the Democrats to come after him like the pack of hounds that they are, whenever a Republican is "down" or "exposed." I've seen what addiction can do to a person, and it isn't pretty. Good for Rush for stepping up and doing what he has to. It will be a huge challenge but I suspect he has the strength and fortitude to see it through. More than I can say for most Dems addicted to their statist programs, victomology, and politics of personal destruction.

It would surprise me only if it wasn't. But that isn't what was being said here.

Rush's own words seem to agree with this:

When he comes back.. . . Stand by for heavy rolls. You have 30 days to bash, pile on or what ever you want to do. Rush will be loaded for bear.

That remains to be seen; many addicts lose their "edge" after rehab. That often causes a relapse of their addiction.

Anyone ever take an oxy on this board? or a number of them?

I have, following the amputation of my right foot. Was on a morphine pump while in the hospital as well. I was rather disappointed that I didn't see 'all the pretty colors'. Couldn't understand why people would be addicted to these things, but my doctor explained that if you really need them you won't get addicted to them.
