If this weren’t Rush, but just some construction worker or cab driver, would people be so quick and rabid in their defense? What makes Rush so special? Are celebrities to be held to a much lower standard than the commoner?

Excuse me?

We're FReepers, rabid argument is what we do: defense and offense ;0)

Grey hair old ladies for Rush.

No doubt – that’s why I like this board. It shows a wide variety of thought.
I am curious as to why celebrity status would put some people above the law. Just as some honestly think Clinton should never have been investigated – much less impeached, and some think Michael Jackson should be above the law, there are those who believe Mr. Limbaugh should also be held to a different standard. I have never understood such idol worship of celebrities.
