I disagree.
In this case, Limbaugh’s reputation is currently what it is because he has BEATEN his drug problem.
To assert that he is still addicted could arguably have an adverse material affect on his reputation and his livelihood. Not only that, it could likely be proven that the slur was malicious in it’s intent and is HATE SPEECH along with being libelous.
Still, you never really get over a "reputation" do you. What was it the cabinet secretary said after he beat the charges in court "Now, where do I go to get back my reputation".
Rush has that problem ~ knows it well ~ understands how and why he lost his hearing too.
The "addiction" was incidental ~ his doctor prescribed the medicine to start with. Still, do you really think Rush wants to waste any of his time squarshing this JFKerrybug?
