CNBC Squawk Box HAMMERING Rush

jesus, Joe Kernan was holding up the NY Daily News, joking about the Hilbilly Heroine, blasting his comments on McNabb saying maybe the drugs were the problem... LOL, it's not even a business show this morning, no regard to gossip. CNN was trying to keep the radio hosts they spoke with from talking about it, but CNBC going full throttle against Rush.

4. OxyContin - Rush's favorite rush

OxyContin is a powerful prescription narcotic. It is highly addictive and abuse is rampant. It can be ingested or crushed and snorted for an intense high.

It is preferred in many rural parts of the country, where prescription fraud and outright theft provide addicts with the drug. Thus it has been named Hillbilly Heroin. It makes it sound so comical. I fail to see the humor, as it is destroying lives.
