Well .. I hate to disappoint all you people who are ready to tar and feather Rush .. but if this really is an on-going investigation - he will not be allowed to talk about it. At least I believe his lawyers will be wise enough to advise him of that.

[Rastus]

IF RUSH PLANNED TO BUY DRUGS IN A PARKING LOT, IT WOULD BE RUTH'S CHRIS, NOT DENNY'S.

Oh, come now! Didn't you hear from CNN that Rush is a racist? He figured he'd buy a couple of pills and then slip in to the restaurant to help the waitress run off the black customers. ;)

[Timesink]

We already know it's a scam. The maid, who could not be reached for further comment, has a high powered attorney representing her. Find out who pays the attorney, you find out who starting created the totally transparent smear campaign.

Along the same lines, I've always wondered how Scott Peterson - who is a fertilizer salesman - ended up being able to retain Mark Geragos as his attorney. Who's paying for THAT?

[nopardons]

"GOING" to get ugly ? It IS ugly right now, but shall get far worse.

What's more worrying, is how so many FREEPERs are gullible, unknowledgeable, and why one would start a flame war, with another, for NO reason, on this thread.

Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesh !

[WHBates]

I didn’t label you as anything, but you sound like a child.

[lainie]

or, um, heavy-handedly demanded this poor woman procure 4000 pills. She was his employer you know. He's a misogynist brute! Where is Kim Gandy!!

[CyberAnt]

Hmmmm? Aren't you assuming HE HAS A DRUG ADDICTION!

[T. Jefferson]

JFK had a huge drug problem while in office, actual heroin derivatives. Wasn't there a recent book about this?

[Robert_Paulson2]

We may have a few "surprises" for them as well...
the financier under indictment regarding crimes related to bill and hillary, has been extradicted SAFELY to the USA by John Ashcroft...

he was hiding there.. the Brazilians gave him up about ten days back. He fled the country to avoid being charged himself for crimes related to their misdeeds. Yes... I am hoping Hillary will be indicted BEFORE she announces for the presidency...

[lainie]

Heck, why should he be stifled in an "ongoing investigation." This woman apparently isn't!

[MS.BEHAVIN]

This whole thing is absurd..

I dispense medication for a living..the recommended dose for Oxycontin, OxyCodone, or Lorcet is pretty universal..

The recommended dose for adults is 10-30mg every 4 hours..

This maid is accusing him of taking what..100 pills a day?

Surely you guys don't believe that!

Let's get real here..

It is a CNS (central nervous system depressant)..

Even a mild overdose could put you in a coma, or kill you

Reading right out of the "playbook" as it were..

Overdosage symptoms include..respiratory failure, stupor, coma, no response to pain stimulation, delirium, convulsions, cardiac arrest, and so on..

A young girl in my town crushed TWO Oxycontins, and snorted them, her little brother found her DEAD at the kitchen table,(next morning) on her 21st birthday..she was beautiful..her fiancee is shattered..and Rush is being accused of taking HOW many a day?

and all this hooplah about drugs possibly causing hearing loss, and THAT is why Rush lost his hearing..

It is true that drugs can affect your hearing, something as simple as aspirin will make your ears ring and hiss and whistle, so does coffee and tea..(caffeine)..so does Nyquil.so does alcohol..

Read all labels and act accordingly...

I have the same immune system disease that Rush has..it wasn't caused by any of the things I have mentioned regarding drugs..it robbed me of my hearing, and that has been hard..

Does he have a drug problem?

I hope not! I don't always agree with Rush..but this sort of attack and the amount of drugs he is accused of taking is just beyond anything even remotely credible..

Take care everyone..

Would that be rich.

[slimer]

I am currently recuperating from a massive spinal fusion

Been there done that my friend. I wish you the best in your recovery.

I took prescription pain meds every day for three years. I was addicted no doubt. Getting off them was a dog. Because I admitted that I was addicted and asked for help to get off them, now they won't give them to me anymore. To be honest about it, I wish I would have kept my mouth shut because I am still in a lot of pain.

Oh well, that's life.

[nopardons]

He and Jackie, were SHOT UP, by " DR. FEELGOOD ", and this was known loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong ago, but yes, it appears, again, in some new book.

[GeronL]

good night everybody.

Its good to be back online!

"No story is too far out if it takes down a conservative voice."

Indeed. The paragons of 'free speech' and First Amendment rights on the Left performed a character assasination job on Dr. Laura not too long ago.

[JohnHuang2]

G'nite, amigo. Sleep well.

[CyberAnt]

I don't expect Rush to be perfect, but I'm not going to automatically assume he's guilty of anything - especially when the lawyer of the Enquirer has ties to Hillary.

[T. Jefferson]

the financier under indictment regarding crimes related to bill and hillary, has been extradicted SAFELY to the USA by John Ashcroft...

This ultrasmear week has been orchestrated by the Clinton's in order to downplay the upcoming indictment of Hillary. She will ignore the charge and scream it's just payback for all the stuff that happened to Republicans. (that she just arranged)

[nopardons]

Thanks for your insight !
