What it does do however is something funny. But before I explain, if you do a search here you will find that I am hard on Rush. Not because I dislike what he says (I agree with most of it)or am jealous of what he has accomplished (I respect the fact he has gone from almost nothing to being one of the most influental people in politics today albeit not as much as in the early/mid 90's). But I will hold Rush to the same standard he would hold a liberal to. While he does it as satire in many cases, the fact is, Rush piles on when a liberal makes an error in judgement or has a setback in the course of life. He should be held to the same standard that he gives.
If you read Lucianne's comments she as well as other defenders are saying or writing in their own way that he's a sad victim of addiction. They are making Rush the victim that he so clearly stated in his previously scripted on air revelation. While not expressed in these exact words throughout the various pieces a "Poor Rush", "he was entraped by his domestic staff" and on and on and on. The making of a victim.
I will encourage everyone to say prayers for a recovery from the addiction. I will encourage everyone to to pray that he finds relief from the pain that apparently pushes him toward medical relief. I will also encourage everyone to admit that IF Rush got these drugs, and especially in large quantities, in a non-legal manner, he is a criminal whether tried and convicted or not. That's if. If he did that, then his is a criminal. He would have broken the law IF he did what we have seen. Plain and simple he becomes criminal.
Again, I am tough on him. He's been tough on others. But the right has circled the wagons and has made Rush the victim he so boldly told us that he didn't want to be nor would allow himself to be.
