Good points. This is really unprecented for the prosecutors to be swooping down on Rush. And, to talk like a liberal here for a sec, won't this kind of action (e.g. prosecuting somebody who admitted his addiction to legal painkillers) prevent others from getting the help they need for treatment? You know if this were a liberal the prosecutors were going after, that this is what they'd be saying!
Liberals and conservatives can agree on that one! It will push addiction back into the closet and less people will get help. More will die, and more will kill others in traffic accidents. All to stop the little boy (Rush) from telling the world that the emperor (liberals) has no clothes on.
Liberals think that people dying so that they can attain power is worth it. They have as much respect for life as does the average suicide bomber.
Maybe that's what we should rightly call it: a jihad against Rush.
