I wonder who will be the first poster here to suggest we "pray" for Rush Limbaugh.

I wonder who will be the first poster here to say, "OK, I was wrong last week when I said the media was lying -- so he IS addicted to painkillers."

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

I would suggest it, but not in quotes.

[My Favorite Headache]

Anyone ever take an oxy on this board? or a number of them? After my recent illness I could tell I was looking forward to the next one...and I am no fan of drugs at all. Never have done an illegal one in my life or even smoked a joint. But the oxy's were like being in heaven.

[Catspaw]

I withheld judgment until more was known.

I hope he gets the help he needs.

1. Pray for Rush
2. I challenge you to find a significant poster or a significant number of posters who claimed the story was all a lie; quite to the contrary.
3. It will have only positive effects on Republican politics because Dem attacks will only trigger sympathy backlash.

[gdani]

I wonder who will be the first person who supports the War on Drugs to explain why Rush shouldn't be convicted & possibly imprisoned.

Rush himself has said as much about drug users.

[ThePythonicCow]

I wonder who will be the first poster here to suggest we "pray" for Rush Limbaugh.

I may not be first, but: Let us pray for Rush

[jammer]

Good questions. #2 may never be said.

[Old Sarge]

I wonder who will be the first poster here to suggest we "pray" for Rush Limbaugh.

Might we assume, from the tone of your post, that he's not in yours?

[b4its2late]

At least we don't have to wonder anymore what poster would have the dumbest post on this thread.....

[ICFN(ICan'tFixNothing)]

Get a life.

At least Rush admitted he has a problem.

He'll be in my prayers.

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.

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.

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?

[ReleaseTheHounds]

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.

suggest prayer?

Think about it, if you or anyone of your loved one's were faced with similar situation would you not pray??....unless??

[Grig]

I'm probably too late to be first, but I'll go ahead and say that I was wrong. I'm quite surprised by this but also proud that Rush is dealing with it head on and honestly, unlike X42.

He has shown that he is not a liar or hipocryt. This kind of trap is one that anyone can fall into when prescribed these kind of drugs.

[Tribune7]

Prayers for Rush.

[JohnnyZ]

I'd like to offer a prayer for Rush, his family, and his listeners. I suggest we all do the same. We could start a prayer chain.

[Sabertooth]

I wonder who will be the first poster here to say, "OK, I was wrong last week when I said the media was lying -- so he IS addicted to painkillers."

Well, I didn't say the media was lying, I thought they were blowing things our of proportion, and that if he was dependent on painkillers, it was probably the result of his cochlear implant surgery.

Looks like I got the wrong surgery.

It remains to be seen, now, if the painkillers contributed to his hearing loss, and what parts of what we've read in the press are distortions, or not.

[sc2_ct]

As C.S. Lewis said, we as Christians are living in occupied territory. It is understandable that even the best amonst us eventually succumbs to human weakness. What is important is that he is facing up to this honestly and with integrity. He is in my prayers, as you would be were you in his position.

I myself reserved judgement.

"I wonder who will be the first poster here to suggest we "pray" for Rush Limbaugh."

I may not have been the first, but, yeah, I posted that we pray for Rush.

And is there a problem with that?
