It sure looks that way, Howlin. Rush's addiction is going to be fodder for discussion, opportunistic ridicule, and late night talk show jokes for a while to come. We'd do better to don a thick skin, ignore the hail of criticism that will be heaped upon conservatism in general, and keep the faith with our ideals.
Rush has a few knocks coming, and I'm sure he realizes that. After all, he has made his share of jokes at the expense of Marion Barry, Ted Kennedy, and others who have had substance abuse problems. To expect that the left (and even some conservatives) are going to keep silent just isn't realistic.
Yes, Rush has made jokes about Ted Kennedy and Marion Barry, but their substance abuse is a result of hearty partying, not chronic pain.
It's a good thing that Rush won't be hearing anything for the next 30 days. This will be very tough for Marta. We should remember her in our prayers too.
