Just announced on WMAL radio in Washington, DC: Rush has admitted to being
addicted to pain killers and will be off the air for a month while undergoing

Sure hope someone takes up the noble battle! (Come on Hannity!)

Only if he agrees to give up his day job at Fox. You can have Alan Combes
too, milquetoast pseudo leftist.

Did someone say Rush was noble?

I guess it's easy to separate a noble person from a noble cause, unless of
course the nobleness of the cause is as illusory as the nobleness of the
person.

Well, Rush did the right thing.

Step down, get treatment, and when he's a recovering addict it will be
appropriate for him to return.

It would have been really disappointing for him to continue on in denial,
especially as he has often stated he has less than no use for drug addicts.

Didn't hear it, but I understand he made a
"confession" of sorts on the air before signing off. That had to take some
'nads.

Just because the guy is absolutley wrong on almost every position he espouses
doesn't mean he should suffer harm. I hope he gets treatment, and straightens
out.

It would be nice if something medical could be done for the acute pain that he
says got him involved with the narcotic prescriptions he ultimately became
addicted to.

Then maybe when he's back behind the microphone, he might have a little
different perspective. He has preached that
behavior is strictly a matter of choice and that those who behave badly are
just lazily choosing not to exercise self control.
Life has a funny way of shoving our worst misperceptions right back at us,
doesn't it?

Guess some things can be bigger than an individual's ability to "bootstrap"
over.
Rush's misfortune should be a lesson to us all.

Even the law treats people different who get addicted to pain killers via a
prescription for them vs. recreational drug users. Most DA's decline to
prosecute.

Do you have a link to the story?

Just hope the slim ball practices what he has preached over the year! If
that's the case he will be spending a lot of time in jail!

So, if the prosecutors decide not to prosecute, will RL not be practicing what
he preaches?
