I Feel Sorry For Rush
Oh no, not the pill deal. He had that coming.

I feel sorry for anyone who is born that delusional, dishonest, and offensive. That's all.

1. I don't think anyone is BORN that way.
I do not know what sort of upbringing he had, either. But is such behavior not learned????

21. You know, I still don't get it why he went to jail for that . . .
. . . there is a smoke shop down the street that has hundreds of glass pipes of every shape and size from crack pipes to bongs. All glass.

4. Drugs numbed more than the pain
They numbed his ability to empathize with the world at large. Addicts are ruled by their obsessions. He has a hole in his soul that needs to be repaired. We always knew that. But now we know why he wasn't healing.

6. His addiction began in 1998
Drugs don't explain his previous 10 years as a sociopath.

14. Hole in his Soul
I'm not saying the drugs were the cause, but they prevented the healing, they aggrivated the problem.

9. I am fascinated that people with good educations can end up this way.
It seems antithetical to the idea of learning.

10. I honestly do feel sorry for him.
I feel sorry for anyone with drug problems, and I agree with Kucinich's approach to the drugs (i.e. focusing on rehabilitation and not imprisonment). I hate Rush's politics, but he's a human being; and as someone who has had similar problems, I can empathize with his plight.

11. Rush's ego got him into trouble more than anything...no pity here
The bigger they are, the harder they fall.

All he wanted was to be rich and famous. That he got where he is by compromising whatever appendages of a conscience he may have had attest to this. He could have just as easily become a shill for the liberals but was swayed by Daddy Bush after being invited into the elite circles of CONdom by Bush Sr.

I just heard a CON radio show where a host who also has gone through publicized drug and alcohol problems said that Rush sees things in either black or white and the world is not that way at all. The host said it will be interesting to see whether he continues to see things the same way after this. I think it won't change him because Rush has been in treatment twice for the same problem.

15. Detox, but not full rehab
Of course this 30 day crap isn't going to help. He will need a full 90-day program. He will also need some deep spiritual healing.

13. It's those very traits
that will make it impossible for him to complete successfully a twelve step program. He's already been dried out twice, there isn't a very good future in store, and he's earned every ounce of the karma that's going to fall on him.

17. You can bet
He announced what he did for personal gain of some sort. Out of a seamingly heartfelt confession always comes sympathy and more goodies...:)
