Conservative spin for the last week: "National Enquirer is trash and the story is BS and Rush will sue them and he didn't do it".
I had hoped he was innocent but even speculating that his audience would wane if it were true brought flames by the millions.
As I stated last week regarding this issue:
If he is a drug addict (which I do not believe, and I know of what I speak) - SO WHAT? He still beats the tar out of the rats. Even if all this were true, would I stop listening? - Not a chance (though I may be emboldened to attempt to correct some minor misconceptions on Rush's part). History is resplendent with great men that had a weakness, they overcame it. Churchill was one of the greatest leaders of the 20th century and was also an alcoholic. What of it? He performed a mighty feat. So what if he did it with a buzz or hangover.
I just hope the republicans decide enough is enough and start fighting these vermin! Rush - Lots of support here and everywhere else for you! Keep your powder dry, and I'll be tuning in...
I see no reason to change that assessment.
