Rush a 'Little Frustrated' by Drug Allegations

I'm a little frustrated by his refusal to simply say, "I did not illegally acquire prescription painkillers."

I am starting to believe that he could not truthfully do so.

His failure to say that today means that the story is likely true, at least in part. What he did say sounded a lot like "I don't know how much they can prove, and won't know what to say until I do." A sad situation...

It is standard advice of a lawyer not to talk for any reason. Cut back on the uppers. You are ahead of the game.

Has anyone mentioned that this was Rush`s "big opportunity" he knew it and he failed miserably.

He does not have mass appeal for the sensibilities of all America. His following is huge, but not as huge as NFL football.

The people who offered him the job probably knew that and are gloating to high-heavens at how they arranged the double punch. They were just waiting for the first slip-up to do this.

But, Rush took the chance and is now paying the price. If he is congnisant of the way the liberals work, why did he fall right into their trap.

Rush would have to be an idiot to say anything specific at this point.

I'de be very surprised if Rush goes down to the drugstore in person for ANYTHING. Most likely he sends a house staffer, and can't say for certain if the staffer did what they were supposed to or not.

Yeah, me too. I hate to say it but from what I heard of his show today, he's been positively Clintonian.

This is one of those can't win situations. If everyone who ever took something prescribed for someone else, half the men and all the women would be guilty. Rush has almost certaintly taken at least something not specifically prescrbed for him. Having to admit this will be embarrassing. But he almost certaintly didn't do so to the extent he is accused. So what do you say? The answer isyou say what your lawyer advises you tosay.

At this point it looks very unlikely that he is innocent. The Enquirer people would not pay out big bucks to the informant and risk very serious legal problems if he was not guilty.

Who is going to go on national radio and admit anything that might be used later to hang himself. If he got hooked on a pain killer, so what. It is not good but it certainly not without precedent.

He's be foolish to say ANYTHING before knowning what the allegations are.

He did the smartest thing he could possibly do. He refused to go on record regarding an active investigation. Any thing else would be legal suicide. He's a class act all the way.

He has probably been gagged by his lawyers--Anything you say can and will be used against you by the liberal media- - uh- - in a court of law.
