did you have this much sympathy with bill clinton after he got caught with monica and only came clean when he got caught....rush had the ability,money and smarts to get clean and he said he tried twice,okay,so now the next time some liberal falls short will rush be compassionate towards them because they couldn't quite get it together till they got caught?????

[Norse]

>Stalin, murderer of 20 million. Incredible.

Very incredible. Stalin was worse than Hitler, no doubt about it. I wonder what would happen if this guy praised Hitler.

>>Assuming Hannity isn't a drug addict, he has nothing to worry about from these losers. Limbaugh, on the other hand, only determined to seek help AFTER he got caught and isn't worthy of either our pity or our support.


Rush was in rehab twice before this. He has my support.

Ed Assner !

Unfortunately some of the people who could most benefit from meds aren't even aware they need them.

Bring em on.

"Over the past several years I have tried to break my dependence on pain pills and, in fact, twice checked myself into medical facilities in an attempt to do so. I have recently agreed with my physician about the next steps." - Rush Limbaugh And it is not just Rush making up the fact that he has went twice before. I have read the same fact from the people who broke it in the National Enquirer and NY Daily News.

You do understand that we are talking about a radio talk show host compared to the POTUS? I don't remember Rush lying about his drug addiction before a grand jury either.

[Lorianne]

I agree, everyone makes mistakes, everyone has personal flaws and lapses in judgement. Everyone.

I just hope Mr Limbaugh realizes that now and has empathy for others' personal failings and lapses of judgement. Mr. Limbaugh has never struck me as an empathetic guy. That's why people are being so hard on him IMO.

Just a note here. x42 didn't come clean even AFTER he got caught. He DID NOT have sex with that woman, Ms. Lewinski". Oh, yeah, he did come clean the day before leaving office didn't he?

[Republican Wildcat]

He's tried treatment at least twice before, so your comment about not getting help until now is false.

[Mr. Lucky]

God gives each of us the free will to choose between right and wrong. Limbaugh had the ability and the means to choose right; he chose wrong.

[cruiserman]

Everything that's happened to Rush is due to Rush himself, not Ed Asner.

[sourcery]

If bills of attainder weren't unconstitional, you'd be a prime candidate to have a law passed that would make it illegal for you to ever use any pain-killing drug--on pain of death.

[Republican Wildcat]

That is not even close to being a valid comparison. What a joke.

[tioga]

Limbaugh, on the other hand, only determined to seek help AFTER he got caught and isn't worthy of either our pity or our support.

Since he did enter a program twice to break his reliance on pain killers, this would be false. Your statement is not worthy of our support, but I do pity you for being so judgemental, you will need it.

[ChewedGum]

God gives each of us the free will to choose between right and wrong. Limbaugh had the ability and the means to choose right; he chose wrong.

Absolutely. Just as we all have at one point or another (or even many others). And now (just like each of us) he has the chance to choose right. I hope he makes it - not for talk radio's sake, but for his own sake.

[Republican Wildcat]

Indeed. He chose to have a back injury which resulted in the initial prescription for the medication, leading to the addiction.

[exile]

Hey Ass-ner, its "Mr. Limbaugh" to you.

[blackie]

Amen Cool Jenny!
