Buck up. This is just the first hour!

Give it a few days, and see how the story shakes out. The fact that the Nat'l Inquirer didn't unload new stories this week leads me to believe that the story wasn't Rush, initially.

The maid wanted immunity and gave the authorities Rush's name. The fact that he hasn't been charged is reassuring. From my understanding they must not have that strong of a case against him, at this point.

He'll go to rehab and return to his program.

And eventually, this will be behind him.

However, he will NEVER be back at the same pinnacle he was at. The bigger they are, the harder they fall, etc.

Only to the church ladies. Human beings have problems. That's part of being a human.

Some folks handle pain differently from others. I've never had intolerable pain, but I know a few folks who have, and I don't know how they got through each day.

Pain until the day they died!

I had been waiting for this.

I am not suprised. I am sorry for the glee the liberals will get from this....they will dance the bonfire of the vanities on this for a loooooong time.

Rush is compromised. If it is proven he took dope beyond simply pain relief but to get high which I suspect if the alleged quantities are anywhere near the truth, then he will get hammered period.

Can he rehabilitate his image?

With the diehards, he won't have to. With the rest, the question is unanswered.

Conservatives have to walk the talk. We cannot rationalize away these things like our foes and even if we try, the media is not going to let it rest. Rush is damaged in realpolitk.

As for Rush the man, the human being not the icon...and Marta, I hope he can rid himself of this monkey on his back.
