Just as some honestly think...

Now be honest. Is that a specific "some," or are we talking a hypothetical "some"? I have yet to hear any on this board argue Rush is "above the law" as you call it, though the liberal's dearest wet dream is for us to be as hypocritical as they are, leading to baseless charges of same.

No one here has (that I have read) specifically stated that he should be “above the law”, but many defend him with a vigor reserved for media idols. Why are some so quick to defend the celebrities?
In Rush’s own words:
"I need to tell you today that part of what you have heard and read is correct. I am addicted to prescription pain medication."
The radio talk show host said he first became addicted to painkillers "some years ago," following spinal surgery. However, he added, "the surgery was unsuccessful and I continued to have severe pain in my lower back and also in my neck due to herniated discs. I am still experiencing that pain."
''Rather than opt for additional surgery for these conditions, I chose to treat the pain with prescribed medication,'' Limbaugh said. ``This medication turned out to be highly addictive.''
There are also the allegations that he purchased large quantities illegally – from drug dealers, not pharmacies.
