He was/is a man, who decided to take massive amounts of drugs, illegally.

He is a man - he hasn't assumed room temperature yet.

He made a faulty decision. He is human. He is not the "savior" of conservatism (though some would make you believe otherwise). He is but a single voice among an ocean of voices.

He provides one view among a chorus. Many times those voices agree; many other times, they do not.

There are those who wish to worship at Rush's altar (and no, I'm not among them); there are those who want to see him fall; there yet others who want to use this as an indication that the "drug war" is failing and should be abandoned.

But to beat on Rush is not the most sporting thing to do.

"But to beat on Rush is not the most sporting thing to do."


I learned a couple of phrases in my youth...

"What's good for the goose, is good for the gander..."

"...that's like the pot, calling the kettle black..."


This is life, not sport, and to call Rush a hypocrite is just making an accurate assessment of his life, and words. He has been one of the most vocal critics, at times, of those who use drugs illegally. Yet, he expects special treatment, because he is Rush Limbaugh, "with talent on loan from God..." If that does not qualify him as hypocritical, I have sadly misread the definition!

I did not say anyone should not listen to him, I just don't think they should encourage him to continue this lie...
And, I believe he does owe an apology to his listeners. He denied, denied, denied, until the truth became known! Only then, after GETTING CAUGHT IN HIS LIES, did he 'fess up, and seek help (so he could justify his actions). Again, IMO, that IS hypocritical.
